The day started pretty early at 6 AM in the morning with the planting of 6 saplings. It was done in a park close to Ashwin’s house since it was a week day and planting anywhere else would have taken considerably more time. Indian tulip, Cannon ball tree, tamarind, yellow cassia and bauhinia were planted. A few neighbours joined us in planting the trees. Times of India photographer, Sridhar joined us while planting the trees.

Once we had planted the saplings, it was time to protect trees. As I said in my earlier post, the Mysore corporation has plans to cut 123 trees on Lalithmahal road. The public meeting which was postponed to Monday. Yet, there was a demonstration near the trees which are planned to be cut down. Our view is that the trees can be spared. Making the road here  is an engineering problem which can be solved easily. I hope the corporation understands this and spares the trees.
