STOP THIS MOVE TO CUT 171 TREES IN INDIRANAGAR FOR BUILDING A COMPLEX

The Bengaluru Development Authority is planning to chop down 171 trees in order to redevelop the BDA Complex in INDIRANAGAR, BANGALORE.

The 30-year-old complex will soon be demolished and a new two-unit complex will come in its place. “The trees may be cut in a few days, depending on when the construction will begin,” a BDA official said.

According to the source, BDA is likely to get the environmental clearance to cut the tees as some of the trees listed are not protected under the Environment Protection Act. These include peepal, banyan, Indian beech, tulip tree, rain tree, silver oak, orchid tree, cherry, champak, java plum, mango, lemon, neem, coconut, jackfruit, subabul tamarind and custard apple trees.
