PoliticsBengaluru Citizens Protest Tree Felling for Hebbal Tunnel Project
Citizens in north Bengaluru protested the proposed cutting of 1,128 trees for the 2.2-km Hebbal short tunnel project, demanding public consultation. The tunnel, planned via cut-and-cover, would affect green spaces including Hebbal Lake buffer zone and several campuses. Over 70 tree species, including heritage banyans and native figs, face risk. Protesters highlighted the disproportionate environmental impact and loss of tree cover in north Bengaluru.
