67 trees to pave way for construction of elevated traffic corridor in Bangaluru
By The Space
with the burgeoning needs and ease of transportation once again the forest department of Bengaluru has come to the media's attention. The forest division of Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) permitted the felling of 67 trees in southeast Bengaluru citing impediments to the construction of an elevated traffic corridor.
However, the official memorandum of the division rather states that the 17 trees will be translocated and 12 others will be retained on the site. In lieu of 10 trees felled, 10 healthy and heightened saplings have to be planted as per forestry practices and have to be maintained for a period of three years.
The backlashes from the environmentalist were inevitable, wherein Sunil Achar a such, feels BBMP should trim the branches of the trees and go ahead with the construction.
“There is no need to cut the trees near the Koramangala BDA complex. The branches can be trimmed as the trees are on the roadside and in no way are coming in the line of the project,” he added
