Trees Axed News Today

Last week, the Supreme Court had levied Rs 10 lakh fine on the MMRC for seeking to cut more trees over and above the permitted 84 trees as well as violating the judiciary's order.

Activists holding placards protested over a proposal to fell 15 trees along Agara Lake to make way for Namma Metro’s airport corridor. “As many as 776 people have opposed the proposal to cut trees. However, their views were not considered while giving approval to clear the trees,” said Sandhya, a member of the NGO Growthwatch.
