TUMKUR - THE LAND OF HILLS! disappearing hills?

Subhash
DISCOVER TUMKUR - THE LAND OF HILLS!
I have travelled the length and breadth of TUMKUR. I live in rural Tumkur which is surrounded by hills. If you have wanderlust then this is the place to come to.

Of course, occassionally you will listen to dynamite sounds in the morning! Ignore them.The hills are vanishing one by one.

The trekkers should concentrate on the hillocks that are not being dynamited - there are very few of them - but then come and see what is happening. One day, even Mount Everest will be blasted for its stone. That is what we have come to.

I hear young friends posting beautiful photos of various trekking destinations. But what has happened in our own backyard - places like TUMKUR. Sand mining, relentless dynamiting - scarred GODS - waiting for their butchery.

PLEASE SAVE TUMKUR'S HILLS! TREKKERS HAVE A DUTY TO SAVE WHAT THEY LOVE.
