The Brindavan Gardens had remained closed for tourists since Monday afternoon as the authorities were in the process of clearing the fallen trees. The DC spoke to the Cauvery Neeravari Nigam Ltd. officials and the forest officers about the damage and asked them to clear the fallen trees from the site at the earliest.
Meanwhile, Srirangapatna MLA Ramesh Bandisidde Gowda inspected the KRS dam site where the garden is located and directed officials to clear weak and precariously low hanging tree branches before the place is reopened for the tourists, to prevent any further damage.
The MLA sought to know from the forest authorities why the weak trees and branches had not been cleared before the monsoon.
Sources said the gardens are unlikely to be reopened for visitors on Thursday.
