Concerns over Roorke Estate and Elephant Corridor in Bengaluru's Outskirts

Local residents and environmental scientists have expressed concern over the historic Roorke Estate and the adjacent Elephant Corridor in the outskirts of Bengaluru. The corridor, which is a traditional path used by elephants moving from Bannerghatta to Nelamangala/Savanadurga, is reportedly being blocked by a government ₹55 crore 'Eco-Tourism Project' and barricades. Concerns have been raised regarding urbanization, apartment construction, and the decline of wildlife habitats.
