Save Ooty

Prompt: The Daily Topic : Write About A Place In Danger Of Losing Its Wonderment.

‘Ooty’, also known as Udhagamandalam is the ‘Queen of Hill stations’ in India. This picturesque town boasts of lovely gardens, beautiful lakes and lush greenery. The terrific climate makes it all the more attractive for being a honeymooners’ paradise.

Ooty’s lakes and gardens remain an ideal spot and are flocked by tourists all through summers. However, over the years it has become highly urbanized with the population increasing at a high rate. There was a time when Ooty was absolutely pollution free but with the commercialization, a polluted atmosphere with lesser greenery encompasses Ooty. The dense forests and valleys in the surrounding areas too are drying up.

It is high time the government woke up before Ooty ends up becoming an ecological disaster.
