Dear Editor,
Forests are being destroyed to build factories and houses without caring for the resultant disasters such as the floods seen in Jammu and Kashmir recently. Owing to depletion of jungles, the environment has been degraded, leading to diseases of the lungs and eyes. By cutting trees, the quantity of oxygen is decreased. We need to protect our forests which can be weapons for killing calamities such as hurricanes, earthquakes, soil erosion and pollution. We should grow more plants and trees.
