The Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) received over 1,500 objections to felling 1,128 trees for the Hebbal Short Tunnel Project.
Objections cite concerns about species diversity, biodiversity loss, microclimate impact, and potential heat island effects.
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has restrained the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) from felling trees until the case hearing concludes on December 15.
