Just a few days ago, a stray dog got stuck in the fencing and was injured by the spike. Kiran Kumar, an animal lover who came forward to rescue the dog, said, “The dog was found around 5:45 am in the morning impaled on the spike, and he sustained an injury to his abdomen. We had to lift him off the spike and take him to the hospital, but he was in shock and passed away.
The purpose of the construction has also left many walkers puzzled, with some speculating it could be a HOPCOMS unit and others assuming it may be a RO water facility. Previously, construction of a shed-like structure near the bandstand had begun in May, prompting opposition from some, although the objections were not considered, and the construction was completed.
The study comprised 400 samples of 10 vegetables collected from 20 stores across Bengaluru, from high-end supermarkets to local markets to organic stores and Hopcoms.
In March 2023, the Department of Public Libraries objected to the proposal to construct non-library related amenities. The director of the public library stated that the purpose of the permission was to expand the library and construct a digital library.
