A green thumbs up
Standing under the shade of an Indian babool tree at Gurugram’s Badshahpur forest corridor, banker-turned-environmentalist Latika Thukral, 55, says that giving the city green habitats goes beyond flora and fauna for her. “Why should people have to walk through garbage and sewage to get to work? This corridor links housing societies together and, now, when your help walks through it for work, they are walking through lush forest. They have the dignity of space; this fact makes me happy every day,” she says.
The three-kilometre Badshahpur corridor (soon to be extended to 5 km) is the third major reforestation project
