BN Kumar, Chairman of Samachar Foundation which launched an environment forum called 'The Nature Connect' said, "It is sad that despite the horrific experiences we have had due to the destruction of mangroves, the various project proponents continue to play with the nature as a result of which the citizens have to face floods and other disasters."
