In yet another piecemeal demand for clearing trees, the BMRCL has sought the removal of 127 trees to make way for four metro stations on the Outer Ring Road as part of the Phase 2A work.
The tree officer for the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike has issued a public notice in this regard. The document shows that the trees are being cleared to make way for the Central Silk Board Junction, HSR Layout, Agara and Kodibeesanahalli metro stations. Citizens can submit their objections and suggestions to the proposal by May 18.
This is the fourth application filed by the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) for the removal of trees to build the 18.2-km line from Silk Board to KR Puram under Phase 2A.
