Mysuru: Nature lovers, wildlife enthusiasts and environmental activists staged a protest at Melukamanahalli arch, the entry gate to Bandipur Tiger Reserve this morning against the proposal of the Centre and State Governments to construct elevated roads via the forests, a move that will cause widespread destruction of flora and fauna.
Under the banner of ‘Bandipur Ulisi’ (Save Bandipur), green activists have joined hands in their attempt to save the ecologically rich Bandipur National Park. They assembled near the Melukamanahalli Gate and silently protested. They also spread awareness among the motorists on the road, urging them to do their bit to save the forests.
