Karkal, 25 Jun 2013: The kings who ruled in the country were growing trees besides the roads, in spite of dense forests.  Meanwhile, the democratically ruled regime fells the trees that lies on the roads.  The afforestation is solely contributing for environmental disaster.  If each one commits to nurture a plant to grow as a tree, then ‘Vanamahotsav’ celebrations will be fruitful, said the retired teacher Kodimar Vittal Tantri.
