What has happened today to my lovely city Bhubaneswar? Why the temperature rising up high day by day?
Few years back Bhubaneswar was known for two things one as temple city and another for its awesome climate and greenery. The sanctity of this city attracted a lot of people towards it and made it the most popular city of Odisha (previously acknowledged as Orissa) and made me feel proud as I am born and brought up in this amazing city.
But today it seems the Sun God has cursed my land. And it can be easily understood from the heat that has made the people of this city sweaty and tired. Yes today the way the heat is rising up in Bhubaneswar has made it one of the most hottest cities in India. And because of that various water resources have also vanished up! It’s just beginning of May and the temperature is touching 40 degrees Celsius and more! And the thought of the later days scares me day and night! What would happen if the temperature reaches 50 degrees Celsius?
I remember I used to stand under a huge tree waiting for my college bus to arrive; it saved me from the sun and rain. Then one day in the name of development and modernization the government cut that savior tree. And this way in the name of development and planning many trees were cut down and many hearts including mine cried a lot. How scary and hurting moment was that, many birds lost their house, we lost our sheds and that horrifying memory is unforgettable.
Now we all must take an initiative to make this city green, clean and beautiful as it was earlier by planting trees and keeping the city clean.
So we must follow the slogan- “Each One Plant One”. And by this way we can make the Sun God happy!
