GSI Panel Calls for Review of Bengaluru Tunnel Shaft Near Lalbagh Geological Monument
The Bengaluru Silk Board-Hebbal tunnel road project faces renewed scrutiny due to concerns over the proposed Shaft-4 location near Lalbagh's National Geological Monument.

The panel also suggests additional surveys and involvement of specialized agencies to ensure the protection of geological and heritage sites, including nearby structures like the Kempegowda Tower.
