Bengaluru: The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has permitted the felling of 67 trees in southeast Bengaluru citing impediments to the construction of an elevated traffic corridor connecting Ejipura and Kendriya Sadan.

Rain tree, hippe, mahogany, Gulmohar, jacaranda and honge are the species of trees that will be axed.

BBMP’s order states while 17 trees will be translocated, 12 others will be retained on the site. “In lieu of 10 trees felled, 10 saplings have to be planted as per forestry practices and have to be maintained for a period of three years,” it added.

However, Environmentalist Sunil Achar said, “There is no need to cut the trees near Koramangala BDA complex. The branches can be trimmed as the trees are on the roadside and in no way are coming in the line of the project.”
