Bengaluru: A group of residents and environmental activists in Bengaluru’s Koramangala held a demonstration, protesting against the proposed felling of 67 trees for the construction of the Ejipura-Kendriya Sadan flyover.
NGOs, Residents Welfare Associations and citizen activists gathered before the Koramangala BDA complex for the protest titled — Save Trees, Save Koramangala!
As per reports, a section of residents have complained that BBMP had earlier claimed only 38 trees will be felled for the project but later increased the number to 67.
Protestors claim, according to Section 8 (3)(vii) of the Karnataka Preservation of Trees Act, 1976, any project requiring felling of more than 50 trees needs to be carried out only after a set process of public consultation.
