Col Gill brings back a forest to save a river in Ludhiana

TREES disappear in twos and threes. Entire forests vanish. Public land gets encroached on. Human wastes and chemicals get dumped in water bodies.

What can you do about such ugly transgressions even as they sully your life? Precious little, you might say. Cleaning up after others isn’t easy. There is no joy in getting cumbersome governments to act. Holding offenders to account can get messy.

Move on and let it happen would be the cautious response. But not so with Lt Col Jasjit Singh, 67, who is retired from the Army, has farming interests and lives in Ludhiana. . .
