Dear Pratibha Patil
I read in DNA today that 400 trees have been chopped off in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands as preparation for your visit there. The report says that some of these were cut “since they blocked the view of the beach from where the President would be sitting.”
I hope you enjoy your stay there. Have a great 2008.
