Social activists and environmentalists will highlight their ire against a tree-felling incident by conducting the “last rites’’ for the tree in the city.
The founder president of Mysore Grahakara Parishat, Bhamy V. Shenoy, said that they intend to mourn the felling of three fully grown gulmohar trees in Yadavgiri part of the city.
He said the it was a brazen act of felling in violation of the tree act and wondered if it was to facilitate vehicle parking for an establishment in the vicinity or to facilitate a clearer view of its building.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
