It is now important for the Government of India including every local body to start besides recording temperature status and air pollution (PPM) index of every city to tell also about live green cover/tree cover index of every city (irrespective of ownership). Any citizen of the country can ask to government of India to start the same either through writing to government/Ministry or by asking to the Apex Court of the Country.
It is strange we have daily update of temperature of every city of the country along with PPM of air pollution level but we do not have daily information of tree cover/km (excluding vegetation). Why the local government of every city should not be held responsible to tell to each citizen of the country that what is exactly daily status of the green tree cover of his or her own city? It is also responsibility of every citizen of the country to protect our green tree cover. This is common sites in the country and in every district and villages that on every national event, freedom fighters birth anniversary, republic day or Independence Day all public officials including political leaders have plantation drives for plantation of trees. This is also flashed immediately everyday in newspapers and news channels but no status of green trees cover/km index is flashed as green tree cover/km for every village or every city. It is also integral part of the right to know and right to have information of the same by every citizen and it is also interlinked with the pollution free and healthy environment right of every citizen. If it does not happen then it will be difficult to say all local authorities, public officials, local representatives and institutes as protectors of environment and they will be called as pseudo protectors of environment. Why the government of India should not construct big highways and cement roads protecting huge forest cover and tree cover of the country instead of cutting them ruthlessly?
