Bengaluru residents protest axing of trees by civic body 
Over 50 residents from Vinayaknagar and KR Garden in Bengaluru staged a protest against the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike's (BBMP) alleged move to cut over 20 trees along the Old Airport Road. The trees were reportedly axed overnight to commence work on a 17-kilometre signal-free corridor aimed at facilitating smooth movement of traffic.
