Time of India is such a shit news source that it should be banned from HN.
The ToI article is dated: 2026-08-01
In the article it says:
> According to Forbes India, in 2003, Helio da Silva...
I Google searched for "Forbes India, in 2003, Helio da Silva" and found the original here: https://www.forbesindia.com/article/lifes/crazy-tree-planter...
Date? 2024-09-30
I guess ToI is having summer interns use LLMs to summarise old newspaper articles to produce more AI slop. Yay.
I wanted to copy and paste the name of the park from the Times of India article so I could see the location in Google Maps, but the Times of India injects their URL into anything you try to copy. Such antisocial behavior. And I can't believe that browsers (Firefox in my case) even permit this. Is there ever a legitimate web-design reason to override copy or Ctrl^C?
Your Forbes India link says "Without any formal authorization, Da Silva started in 2003"
