- Environmental activists in Mysuru, at a meeting led by the organisation Parisarakegiagi Naavu, have asked the Forest Department and the National Highways Authority of India to clear public confusion about the translocation of 278 trees for an overbridge near Manipal Hospital junction.
- They say officials have not disclosed where the trees will be replanted, what preparations have been made, or who is responsible for ensuring the survival of translocated trees.
- Speakers warned that tree loss could increase air pollution, heat islands, and reduced rainwater absorption in the city.
- The group decided to write to the local MP, the Narasimharaja constituency MLA, the Forest Department, and the NHAI seeking a meeting on the trees' survival.
