Death of Dadar
I stay at Dadar Parsi Colony – here, old buildings are coming down by the dozen to make way for the new. Everywhere that an old structure comes down, the trees are cleared along with it – do the people concerned have the permission to do so? One has only to see the difference between the old compounds and the new in order to realize this – eg. two structures have recently been demolished (one on Ghanti Rd, one on Vimadalal Rd) – both cleared plots have suddenly become totally devoid of any foliage, the originals had grand old trees – numerous other examples on these two roads already exist.
Dadar is dying.
