Now, BBMP wants to axe 14 trees to widen CV Raman Road
Fourteen trees standing tall and strong along CV Raman Road in northern Bengaluru are likely to be axed to widen the canopied street.
The BBMP has marked over 147 trees on both sides of the one-kilometre-long canopy road. Of them, 14 trees of different species (rain tree and mango tree) have been proposed to be axed to make way for white-topping the remaining portion of the road.
The 14 trees located in front of the JN Tata Auditorium at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) are likely to go. The BBMP is currently repairing the footpath and plans to widen the main carriageway by axing the trees.
