Court tells BBMP to conduct a tree census
The High Court of Karnataka directed the State government to maintain status quo on the nature of use of Balabrooie guest house, not to hand over the guest house to any organisation, and not to fell or trim trees in and around the guest house premises without prior permission of the court.
The court also directed the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) to conduct a census of trees in the premises and the surrounding land, including the Chief Secretary’s official residence, National Gallery of Modern Art, and the seven bungalows of ministers, and submit a report to the court in three weeks.
