Ultimate irony? A truck carrying chopped trees has this message

This could be quite ironic. A truck, packed to the brim with logs and branches of chopped down trees, is seen in a picture as carrying this message: Plant more trees.

The picture was tweeted by Chhattisgarh IAS officer Awanish Sharan. It does not say when, or where, the picture was taken. Nor are the number plates on the truck visible.

Here is what Awanish Sharan posted to Twitter.


Within hours, it got thousands of likes and was retweeted hundreds of times. People joined in the fun. "No, business motto. You plant, we cut." responded one user. "This is the effect of the increase in LPG gas prices.." said another. Others tried to make a counterpoint.
Yet others wondered, not without good reasons, whether it was a creative mind at work.
