The temple city of Bhubaneswar, Orissa once covered with dense forest is gradually turning into a concrete jungle with fast urbanisation. The tall claim of the Government to provide the city with adequate green cover to compensate the loss caused by the devastating super cyclone of 1999, has remained a mere slogan. Over a lakh saplings of kadamba, neem, karanja, patuli, chakunda jamu, bela, teak, sisoo, amla and other varieties, raised in the central secretary just after the cyclone, are lying uncared for in the absence of funds for the last three years.
