Easing roadblocks!

Old trees can be cut down but what about places of worship? That's a
 temple in front. It's strange that in a 'secular' country every government
 office has at least one temple built on its premises!

In this view we are looking back to where the top pic was taken.
The Mahatma Gandhi Marg in Lucknow, from the PWD office to the Haider Canal, is being broadened.
It will be interesting to see how the Samajwadi Party circumvents this problem. Many years ago when this party was in power, it demolished temples that were coming up on Station Rd. Protests that followed died down after a few days.  Many of Lucknow's roads that were narrow at one time have places of worship causing bottlenecks. But the good part is the people have patience lots of patience! 
Just beyond the tilting tree is the culvert that needs broadening...

Raj Bhawan on the left...

The second obstacle is the Muslim grave that is just below the road where the man in the pic is standing.
