100 trees felled for Karnataka CM's one-day visit to Kodagu
Authorities in Karnataka's Kodagu cut 100 trees on Tuesday for CM HD Kumaraswamy's one-day visit to the area. District Commissioner Sreevidya denied having given such orders, claiming it was a "suggestion" since there were strong winds and trees were "dangerously positioned". "We were not consulted and no survey was done to identify dangerous trees," Forest Department officials said.
