Sir, The above two photographs taken today say it all. Apparently, a peepal tree is growing on top of the State Bank of India (SBI) building on Ashoka Road, opposite Lashkar Police Station, Mysuru and the occupants seem oblivious to the threat posed by this growth. The tree has grown quite big and is healthy…

Unfortunately, now it has become a garbage city with every corner, vacant site and even the Ring Road with its service roads being the places for throwing garbage indiscriminately.
