Beaches have almost disappeared from most coastal towns in India

Sea beaches and their vegetation have disappeared as most of beaches are encroached upon for hotels industry, housing , and industries in India . Mangroves and sunder bans have also being lost to the natural calamities or manmade calamities. Unless we preserve the sea beaches and conserve the natural vegetation and refrain from destroying vegetations more catastrophes are going to come. It does not need astrology to forecast the same : its human activities which are writing their own future

To be honest, TMT did this to themselves by not being honest about the cost from the start. Had they told everyone that the cost for the installation would be on the order of $3 billion (most of...
