Betrayed
for pieces of silver ...
Zirakpur's
vanishing orchards
ZIRAKPUR April 14
— Work has already started on Silver City, a housing
colony set on 60 acres of agricultural land along the
Chandigarh-Ambala highway about 2 km from here. The
development, which claims to have Punjab Urban
Development Authority approval, violates Punjab and
Haryana High Court directions forbidding installation of
hoardings, sign boards and banners along the highway but,
worse than that, the development has so far axed dozens
of trees and will spell the death of whole orchards
presently flourishing on the site.
