Vidyaranyapura, an area north of Bangalore is a place close to Yelahanka. Its connected to the University Of Agricultural Sciences (UAS). When we moved here, there was nothing except trees and a small police station close by. I wouldn't wanna continue the age old ranting of middle class views of the environment and sustainability, but nevertheless I'm quite shocked to receive the news that the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) plans to cut down trees in front of our house. The site is 8-10 ft wide and no one can possibly build houses on it. The BDA wants to fence the site and declare it as a 'civic amenity' when its already one without fencing or trees cut.
Its part of a scheme in which the contractors and fabricators working for the BBMP (Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagar Palike) make money from the taxes of the public and the BBMP shows it off as an illusive 'development'.
