UPDATE :
5037 Objections have been sent as of 12 June 2024


Authorities have earmarked close to 33,000 trees in Bengaluru, which could face the axe, for the construction of the Suburban Network Project to begin. The 148-km long Bengaluru Suburban Rail Project (BSRP), which is being implemented by Rail Infrastructure Development Company-Karnataka (KRide), requires four corridors to be constructed. While the project is significant to reduce dependence on private vehicles and enhance sustainable mobility and efficient commute alternatives, the ecological cost is mammoth! 


At a time where the consequences of global warming are so evident, trees are helping us mitigate the heat-island effect. 


It is imperative to undertake rigorous measures to ensure ecological preservation, keeping the Karnataka Tree Preservation Act of 1976 in mind. 


To make your voice heard, we have provided an email template that you can use to send your objections and request for re-alignment of the project line. Currently, the forest department has received only 20-30 objections. For them to take any action, they need many more objections from concerned citizens. We’re setting a target of at least 5,000 emails that must reach them so they can consider re-aligning the routes of the project and re-consider its ecological impact. 


Let's work together to ensure a more sustainable and environmentally conscious approach to the Bengaluru Suburban Rail Project.
