- The Karnataka High Court has asked authorities to submit the Geological Survey of India report on the impact of the 16.75-km tunnel road project between Hebbal and Silk Board junctions on the Peninsular Gneiss rock formation in Lal Bagh, a National Geological Monument.
- The court also directed the State government to arrange a presentation by engineers explaining how water inflow and outflow to Hebbal lake will not be obstructed by the 2.2-km twin tunnel from Hebbal junction to KVAFSU.
- The directions came during a hearing of public interest petitions challenging the legality of the two projects, in which petitioners alleged the tunnels would cut the lake's water flow and take over about 3.4 acres of the lake.
- The State Advocate General denied these allegations, and the hearing has been adjourned to September 10.
