Mysuru: Environmental organisations in Mysuru city have voiced strong opposition to the felling of 40 trees along Hyder Ali Road, from Kalikamba Temple to SP Office Circle, announcing a candlelight vigil on Apr. 18 (after 6 pm) to and an 11th-day death ceremony to mourn the loss of fully-grown and shade-giving trees.
Alongside this tribute, protesters plan to plant new saplings at the same place in a symbolic act of defiance and have unanimously resolved to pursue legal action against the Forest Department and Mysuru City Corporation officials responsible for the tree felling.
