Citizens fight to save 368 trees at Cantonment, start petition
BENGALURU: Within 24 hours, 2,835 people signed a petition against the railway department's request to cut 368 trees for a commercial project at Cantonment. The campaign -- Stop Butchery of 368 Mature Trees at Cantonment Railway Station -- was initiated by Heritage Beku, a citizens group, on on Monday. The target is to reach 5,000 signatures and hand over the same to the BBMP forest wing, which has called for objections and suggestions in this regard. Talking about the petition, urban conservationist Vijay Nishanth said the Biodiversity Management Committee will also conduct spot visits to the place. 'Some of the portions have already been concretised at Cantonment Railway Station in Vasanth Nagar. Now, we will push for a physical consultation regarding the objections call from Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) for tree cutting. Our primary demand is that the railway department should not disturb the tree canopy and biodiversity,' said Nishanth. Greens are angry at the railway department as it had sent a requisition letter to the BBMP forest division seeking permission stating that it wants to remove trees to build a commercial project. 'When they knew a commercial project here requires felling 368 trees, including old-growth ones, they should have altered the plan or just dropped it. It's good that we have a tree committee in the BBMP which mandates every household, industry, organisation to seek permission and the committee follows procedures including public consultation, else the trees would have been axed just like that,' said an activist. On Friday, the BBMP forest wing published a notification calling for objections, suggestions and comments from the public regarding the removal of trees at Vasanth Nagar Railway Colony in Cantonment. Following the notification, there has been resentment among greens over the railway department's action.

Cantonment commercial project sparks outrage over plan to cut 368 trees in Bengaluru
BENGALURU: The Commercial Development Project at Cantonment by the Railway Department has courted controversy, as it requires the felling of a staggering 368 trees — including Peepal, Rubber, and Christmas trees — many of which are over a hundred years old. Amid this development, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) Forest Wing has invited objections from the public before granting approval for the project. Enraged by the proposal, environmental activists have called for the project to be stalled if it involves cutting down trees. According to an objection notice issued by the Deputy Conservator of Forests (DCF), BBMP Forest Division, the Joint General Manager (Projects/Expert) of the Railway Land Development Authority, Ministry of Railways, Government of India, has submitted an application for the removal of trees located within the Bangalore Cantonment Railway Colony premises in Vasanth Nagar for the 'Commercial Development Project.' BLG Swamy, the DCF, BBMP Forest Wing, said that the notification was published last Friday. As per the notification, the public has 10 days to submit objections, comments, and suggestions regarding the project. 'Based on public objections to the project, a communication will be made with the Railway Department. If the public is not in favour of cutting trees, the BBMP Forest Department cannot permit the felling of trees,' Swamy said. Expressing strong resentment, Biodiversity Management Committee member Vijay Nishanth said that whenever governments have attempted to axe trees for unnecessary projects, citizen groups have successfully launched protests to stall them in the past. 'A campaign will be launched under the title 'Save Cantonment Heritage Trees.' Citizens will be encouraged and appealed to lodge their protests by writing to dcfbbmp12@ the email account of the BBMP Forest Wing Chief, and to rldabangalore2022@ the official email account of the Railway Department,' said Nishanth. He further criticized the BBMP for even entertaining the proposal. 'The BBMP should have rejected the proposal outright instead of calling for objections, especially when it clearly states that the felling is for a commercial project,' he said. 'The authorities seem to have turned a blind eye and lost their common sense in proposing such a project and seeking public opinion on cutting trees. The city is already grappling with rising heat levels and a shrinking green cover. We will also approach Union Minister of State for Railways, V. Somanna, urging him to announce the scrapping of the project if it requires cutting trees. His actions and decisions will reveal how much concern he truly has for nature and Bengaluru,' Nishanth added.
