Urbanisation in Dharamsala is leading to depletion of the forest cover which in turn is causing environmental hazards. Nestled in the lap of Dhauladhar, Dharamsala, the land of Buddha, has always been synonymous with its rich and diverse flaura and fauna. But, over the years the forest cover is slowly depleting... the reasosn being 'urbanisation'. the dense forest cover has now turned into a graveyard of concrete. Every year about 500 trees are felled to keep pace with the development Mr R.K. Gupta, Forest Conservator, attributes the problem to the increasing population.
