Where have the lakeside trees gone?

We, the residents of Mohakhali DOHS have been greatly privileged having a lake in our area. Both sides of the lake were full of greenery which was the abode of a large number of birds. The trees on one side of the lake have recently been cut down, God only knows for what reasons. We are laymen but our common sense says that saving full-grown trees should be the basic principle of a good landscaping project. We strongly believe that this act is an offense as per the environmental laws of the state. Through this letter we want to draw the attention of the Department of Environment and demand that the responsible persons be held to account.
