Opposing the construction of buildings by cutting trees in parks, residential streets and major roads, activists of Parisara Samrakshana Vedike held a protest outside Mysuru City Corporation Office (MCC) on Sayyaji Rao Road in the city on Wednesday.
They strongly condemned the civic authority for giving permission to construct buildings in parks flouting Supreme Court directions. They urged the government to suspend the officials who had given permission for such activities.
They also criticised the officials for large-scale felling of trees under the guise of removal of dead trees and selling at less price colluding with timber merchants.
