Kengeri Outer Ring Road to lose 95 more trees
Close on the heels of the announcement that 83 trees on Kengeri Outer Ring Road are set to be cleared to build an underpass near Ullal junction, the BBMP has now sought permission to remove an additional 95 trees for a similar project near Annapoorneshwari Nagar.
Among the 95 marked for clearance — cutting or transplantation — are mahogany trees of more than one-metre girth, honge, peepal and Jamun trees. The BBMP has invited objections from the public for the felling of trees.
The grade separator involves a 1-km underpass for vehicles on the Kengeri Outer Road, known as 80 Feet Ring Road. The trees on the roadside are from the starting point of the underpass at Unity Lifeline Hospital to the HDFC bank. Members of the public have 10 days to submit their views regarding tree felling.
