Danseuse's fight against felling of trees

  • 23/05/1998

Far from performing dance, famous danseuse Mallika Sarabhai has taken it upon herself to fight against indiscriminate felling of trees in Gandhinagar, the world's second greenest capital. In fact, she forced Union home minister L K Advani, who represents Gandhinagar in the Lok Sabha, ask chief minister Keshubhai Patel to "urgently" look into the matter. The Gujarat capital is considered second only to Pakistan capital Islamabad in terms of man-made greenery.
