Funeral of trees?

This is the 360 metres (0.36 kms) road from Kalikamba Temple (circled in red) till the SP Office Circle.

Sir,

Reading the report about felling of over 40 old trees with rich foliage by Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) on Hyder Ali Road, I went to see the crime spot.

To my surprise, there were a few cars parked with occupants looking at the scorched earth. I asked, what were they doing. Pat came the answer: We have come for the funeral and to pay our last respects.  Om Shanti.
