As many as 150 trees (down from 627) are to be felled for a helipad at Lalit Mahal in Mysuru
More often than not, the price for development is hefty and in most cases at the cost of whatever greenery we do have left. Every time trees are earmarked for felling to make way for a developmental project, environmentalists and other like-minded citizens have been quick to try and stop it or look for alternatives. This time around, it is the proposed felling of 627 trees in about eight hectares near Lalit Mahal in Mysuru for the setting up of a helipad that has got the goat of green activists.
