Forest cell’s poser in tree-chopping case
A day after 24 trees were chopped at the trunk on Marathahalli Outer Ring Road, Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike’s forest cell has written to the civic body’s Revenue Department on Friday to ascertain the legality of hoardings in the area. The forest cell officers say this could have been done to facilitate a better view of a hoarding on Marathahalli bridge or by cable companies who were drawing wires. “We have written to the advertising and cable departments to find out if the hoarding was legal and to get the names of cable operators in the area,” said Taranath, Range Forest Officer, BBMP. As there is a case in Lokayukta on trees being cut for advertising hoardings, we hope strong action will be taken and this menace will stop,” he said.
