Namma Bengaluru Foundation along with Project Vruksha Foundation, met the Deputy Commissioner & District Magistrate of Bengaluru Urban District, DC Shri Manjunath and submitted a letter opposing the conversion of the land owned by the Forest department to revenue land and demanded an enquiry be initiated against erring revenue officials and ensure that ownership rights is restored to the forest department for protecting the Bannerghatta National Park.
The letter also requested to speed up the process of surveying the 1000 acres of land around the park for the development of the elephant corridor. Although the survey is still underway, land encroachers have already started farming in this area destroying the catchment area of a lake next to it.
