The forest cell of the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) will book a case against a contractor who felled around 10 trees on the banks of the Hosakerehalli lake in Rajarajeshwari Nagar last month without its permission.
Sources within the BBMP said the trees were cut for a road widening project.
Speaking to indianexpress.com, assistant conservator of forests Govindraju V said, “We were not aware of the issue till it was brought to our notice by local residents. We will book a case against the contractor. The trees were cut without keeping us in the loop.”
