Metro: Orders out for removing 1,248 trees for Phase 2A
The BBMP and the Bengaluru Urban deputy conservator of forests (DCF) have issued orders for removing 1,248 trees, including 568 through transplantation, to facilitate the construction of Phase 2A metro line between Central Silk Board Junction and KR Puram.
The permissions, which will come into effect 15 days after the uploading of the orders, were given after the tree expert committee went through the proposal and conducted field inspections.
The first order by the BBMP paves the way for felling 542 trees and removing another 484 trees by way of translocation between the Kodibeesanahalli metro station (up to pier no 335) and KR Puram (up to Baiyappanahalli depot).
