Today at morning here the temp. is 17 c, and after four days of cloud in which coolness decreased and it is now seems to be surfacing, again.


In general Odisha's winters are far cooler than in South India. I felt the real bite of the cold when I was in Tensa.
In Kolkata and its neighborhood the climatic variation is palpable as the winter has been playing a kind of hide and seek!!!
It is predicted by the scientists in of National Research Council, USA, that the situation is likely to become even worse with the climate and that the time to receive warnings and take preventive measures is likely to reduce greatly!

Obviously! Even advance warnings would always have limitations. For example, if we allow reckless settlement of people along the coastal belts in huge numbers, it would be near to impossible to shift such multitudinous people to safer places on an advance notice of a few hours or even a day.

And more plans are on the way to reclaim more land along Mumbai coastline to make space of ever-increasing populations! :blink: Due to instability of reclaimed land, every years lots of accidents occur such as buildings sinking, roads breaking etc. and still we never learn!

The coastal regions are most vulnerable for its fragile ecological character and as you have mentioned the massive problem of Mumbai, the scenario is more or less the same of all the coastal belts in India. In West Bengal the sea beach of Digha is one such theater of environmental and ecological degradation. Countless hotels have been permitted to come up in a blatant violation of all laws in this regard despite grim warnings of scientists!!
Many of the coastal regions are very good tourist havens also. This lures all the Tourism ministries of respective state governments to go for heavy development activities setting aside all aspects that endanger the ecological balance.In a short span of 3 months 3 cyclones invaded the east coast leaving a trail of destruction,mainly hitting the farmers and the fishermen.

Yes, I have also read about rapid destruction of mangroves in Sunderban which are ecologically very essential for the environment and are extremely fragile at the same time. Similar mangrove forests along the coast line of Mumbai have been destroyed greatly due to so-called development and that has given rise to a number of serious problems!

The fragile ecology of the Sunderban which is incidentally declared a world heritage site , was pointed out and warned by the scientists but none cares even after tsunami caused almost irreversible damage to it!!
The entire stretch of land of sweet water zone, in Puri, is being occupied by real estate agents, and they destroy the age old jungles there which is meant to stop the aggression of sea water and cyclones. Puri is a land where there is plenty of water but less drinking water and the sweet water is already occupied and now after honorable SC verdict, the entire forced occupation is going to be vacated and mostly resorts and hotels are there, it is a good move as it is apparent due to the connivance of leaders and local powerful people, the lands are up for grabs, the real estate would be destroyed within some months but what abt, jungles which are being cut and ripped apart.
