Property owners complain of inordinate delay in granting permission to axe trees
Gautam S. has been visiting the forest cell of the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike often, seeking permission to cut about five trees on his property for the past three months, but the visits have not yielded results. Several private property owners complain the BBMP forest cell has not been giving them permission to cut trees on their land, and this is one of the major hurdles for developing these plots. “When they can sanction cutting trees in public places, why cannot they give permission for axing trees in private property,” asked Naresh M., who has been trying to get permission to axe trees on his property in R.R. Another property owner, who did not wish to be named, said he has been trying to get permission to cut trees on his property at Yelahanka for the past five months.
