Mysuru: Regarding the MCC’s plan to plant 400 trees — ten times the number felled on Hyder Ali Road from Kalikamba Temple to SP Office Circle — Deputy Conservator of Forests (Territorial) Dr. K.N. Basavaraju stated that the Forest Department adheres to specific norms.
“Only a limited number of trees can be planted along the 360-metre stretch from Kalikamba Temple to SP Office Circle, as departmental guidelines permit planting only 350 trees per kilometre, with a minimum spacing of three metres between each tree,” he told Star of Mysore.
