Public opposition has mounted against the BDA's proposal to cut 1,128 trees for a small tunnel route at Hebbal Junction, Bengaluru. The NGT has issued a stay order on the project. The proposed tunnel, 2.3 km long, requires clearing 1,128 trees and involves providing 3.5 acres of land in the Hebbal Lake area. The project is facing legal challenges in the Karnataka High Court.
