About The Author
Nobody is caring about environmental problems in India. People are busy with other communal stuff
Eagerly waiting for it
I always hear the name of sir Ramchandra Guha ❤❤
UrbN naxal
I have always felt that heavy construction in the seismically sensitive Himalayan zone is playing with fire.
Some builders and contractors are getting rich, in collusion with the bureaucrats and politicians at the cost of lives of poor unsuspecting residents of this area.
Sadly environmental impact assessment is on the Blackburner.
राम चन्द्र गुहा प्रतिष्ठित व हर विषय पर गहरी सोच रखने वाले।🙏🙏🙏
