Lake group urges GBA to assess ecological impact before rushing road projects in Bengaluru

The Federation of Bengaluru Lakes (FBL), a citizen volunteer group, has urged the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) to conduct ground-level assessments before finalizing proposed road circulation networks around waterbodies. Members raised concerns that rushing these projects could lead to the loss of lakhs of trees and disrupt biodiversity. They cautioned that the need for roads at certain locations should not justify proposing them around every lake.
