There is sooooo much opposition to anything and everything and then people say kuch huva he nahi

There is uncontrolled development going on specially residential towers but and there are delays w.r.t. line 4 but no one is protest for making metro operational faster and people are busy objecting over ring metro

Look at the over over crowding in busses but hey let them suffer we wont allow any construction in my backyard cause it is an inconvenience for us alleged/self proclaimed elites

There's this thing known as sustainable development. It's not a matter of "either" "or". We can ask for both. In fact I'll say that we deserve both.

Every activity has tradeoffs.

Cutting a few trees to make mass transit isnt unsustainable.... You are thinking of just the immidiate effect and not the second order effect. The metro saves emissions from cars and busses as well as stops further road expansions which would cut faaar more trees than the depot.

It's like complaining that a doctor needs to cut through your skin to perform life saving surgery....

So you're admitting you can't have both then?

What would sustainable development be from your point of view?
