Forest Dept. wants to fell nearly 530 trees to pave way for a service road along ORR
A public hearing conducted by the Forest Department to fell nearly 530 trees to pave way for a service road along the Outer Ring Road (ORR) evoked vehement protests by environmentalists, here on Saturday.
The papers containing the purported signatures of people in support of the tree felling was torn apart as none of those present at the hearing came forward to affirm their views.
The service road is proposed along the ORR from the Deve Gowda Circle to Nanjangud Road Junction and the activists flayed the Forest Department for its failure to ensure that the proposed road was laid before the planting and nurturing of the trees.
