Legal hurdles arise over attempt to destroy 3.45 acres of wetland area in Hebbal Lake for underground road project

Concerns have been raised that the proposed underground road project from Hebbal to Silk Board may violate Supreme Court orders concerning the conservation of water sources. The Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) has reportedly obtained permission from the Karnataka Lake Conservation and Development Authority (KTCDA) to use 3.45 acres of land in Hebbal Lake for this project. Experts suggest that the project requires approval from the Karnataka Wetland Authority (KWWA) and the India Wetland Authority.
