Tree fall in Bengaluru: Auto rickshaw drivers’ unions ask government and BBMP to monitor trees diligently following accidents

The Hindu  

Following three incidents of trees falling on auto rickshaws during this year’s monsoon and two auto rickshaw drivers losing their lives due to that, the auto rickshaw unions in Bengaluru are planning to bring pressure on the Karnataka government as well as Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike to regularly monitor the health of trees. “There is no way auto rickshaw drivers can protect themselves when trees fall. The onus is on BBMP and Forest Department to regularly trim trees and fell the ones which pose a threat, but they do not do it diligently,” said Rudramurthy, general secretary, Auto Rickshaw Drivers’ Union. Less than 20 days ago, on August 16, another auto rickshaw driver Shivarudraiah died after a tree fell on his auto in Vijayanagar.
