Photograph of Appiko Movement by students, senior citizens and members of MGP. The number of trees proposed to be axed are confusing.  Almost every tree on this boulevard has been fixed with a red card, a number is written in chalk, scored with a cross and another number written.  Misleading the citizens.

I came across an article in 'The Hindu' which mentions that the tree cover of Chennai is 20%. Also, looking online I realised there is good amount of information about cities in the US along the same lines and how it is used - mainly for urban forestry.

 Recently we discussed about high dividers and roads being made “Double roads” in a forum. The truth is that, the roads are two way traffic roads by default, to start with. Normally two way roads are made one way to take care of increased traffic density. There is sometime a need to iterate to satisfy the public demands.
