A talkative member of the Mysore Grhachara Parishad, a few weeks ago howled that the City Public Library was shifted to a Park, saying that it contributes to the destruction of the environment and the increase in the climate warming , and has no say when Myusru airport is being expanded and planes are taking off to different destinations each week through expanded routes. The sfact is that aviation contributes massively to the carbon foot print and the global warming and still the Grahachara Parishad is happy looking at this expansion, but crying and howling for the destrcction of a tiny park outside the city. No one from there has posted their objection to this expansion.
This Parishad is full of retirees most of who arrived to Mysuru in recent decades, to anchor their homestead, not real Mysoreans though, when Mysuru expanded by destroying the forests around it , to make way for the construction of houses, where probably these Parishad members reside! Ironical, indeed, when they howl environmental destruction! Since these houses are away from the city centre, they travel in automobiles too!!
