MAKE JAMMU ECO-FRIENDLY

There is not an iota of doubt that Jammu city is still in a better shape as far as greenery is concerned because there are many cities in north India and elsewhere also which are devoid of green belts and the environment in those cities is pathetic. To make sure that the serenity of the City of Temples should be retained there is dire need that steps like the ones taken underneath the Jewel Flyover should be repeated in all government offices by installing green towers on the walls and all such places which have a scope for the same. The situation in many cities with regard to pollution content in the air is so dismal that people have started using air-purifiers to get cleaner air as the gases emanating from vehicular traffic, factories and other similar sources have wreaked havoc out there. Still in Jammu, the situation is not so bad but if the helmsmen will not take pragmatic steps the days are not far when the city will get exhausted because the concrete jungle in the name of development has already started doing harm to the serene environs of the city. There is dire need that the young children should be educated about the harms of plants-less dwelling so that they being the future of the nation start thinking on these lines and do whatever possible to revive the greenery of cities. As far as Jammu is concerned, the situation still is under control and if prolific steps will be taken soon there is every chance that the city will remain as serene as it used to be for centuries. The green towers which the city has been given as part of Smart City project should be taken as a cue to carry forward the message so that in the coming times all the buildings including government offices, schools and other institutions should have such a provision to naturally produce fresh air besides raising the aesthetics of the city.
