Karnataka High Court Seeks State Response on Hebbal Tunnel Project Impact
The Karnataka High Court has issued notice to the state government regarding a plea challenging the proposed 2.2 km Hebbal Tunnel project near Hebbal Lake in Bengaluru. Petitioners raised concerns about potential impacts on the lake's water flow and ecological sensitivity, citing legal restrictions on construction near the lake. The court set deadlines for the government to submit affidavits detailing any impact studies and warned it may stay the project if responses are delayed. The case will be further heard in August.
