In what may be termed a blatant disregard for law, it has come to light that the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) surreptitiously allowed felling of 34 trees without a work order at Koramangala.

To cover up its act, BDA issued the work order three days after the ‘job’ was done. The alleged illegality has come as a shock for the residents of Koramangala who have been fighting tooth and nail against the controversial Sirsi Circle-Agara Junction signal-free corridor.
