The sacred land of Konark, home to the majestic Sun Temple, is not just a symbol of architectural brilliance but also a sanctuary of natural beauty. However, the recent decision to cut down 875 trees in the name of beautification is deeply concerning.

Trees are not mere objects; they are life-givers. They purify the air, provide shade, and support countless species. Cutting down these 875 trees would not only disrupt the delicate ecological balance but also tarnish the serene, green landscape that Konark is known for.

Beautification does not mean destruction. True progress lies in preserving our natural heritage while enhancing the area sustainably. Instead of removing trees, can we not incorporate them into the beautification plan? Let’s focus on eco-friendly solutions that celebrate both Konark’s cultural and natural legacy.

Konark is not just a place; it’s a living symbol of harmony between humanity and nature. Let’s ensure we protect this harmony for future generations.
