Bangalore metro threat to city's greenery?
In Bangalore, over 500 people gathered to protest against the widening of 140 arterial roads for the metro train. Widening the roads will mean cutting down thousands of trees that line the roads, and a complete loss of green spaces in the city. A court appointed committee and the Bangalore municipal corporation recently sanctioned the widening of the roads, which will mean more than 30,000 trees will be cut.
