Environmentalists Oppose Tree Wrapping for Dasara Illumination in Mysuru
In Mysuru, environmentalists and Tree Authority members protested against contractors wrapping and nailing trees with wires for Dasara illumination on Chamaraja Double Road, citing violations of the Karnataka Tree Preservation Act and National Green Tribunal orders. Despite CESC's efforts to use eco-friendly alternatives like poles and bamboo baskets citywide, some contractors continued the practice. Authorities, including the District Conservator of Forests and Mysuru City Corporation, have urged CESC to stop, while activists seek a government order and legal amendments to ban tree use for illumination statewide.
