Bangalore Mirror had reported on May 24 that the residents of Alahalli, Anjanapura and environmentalists were unhappy that around 40
saplings of the 5,000 planted by the
Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited through the
BBMP’s Lake department had been removed. This was to build a boundary wall around a burial ground near the Alahalli Lake in Anjanapura ward.
After Bangalore Mirror’s report titled ‘40+ saplings nipped in the bud at Alahalli’, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike’s (BBMP)
Lakes Department has taken measures to stop the construction of the boundary wall around the burial ground.
Both of them, along with BBMP engineers, visited Hennur Main Road which had flooded last year with 80 mm to 90 mm rain per hour, Sai Layout and Geddalahalli. They inspected the areas and instructed the engineers to take measures so that flooding can be avoided during this monsoon.
