[Resolved]  BBMP — Removal / pruning of roadside trees

Address:

Bangalore, Karnataka

1.In continuation to our earlier complaint on the subject. I am humbly approaching you on behalf of the residents arround house no 351 of 41st cross jayanagar 8th block, bangalore-560070
2. Two trees had been planted by bbmp in front of houses 351 & 321of 41st cross. One tree has been eaten away by white ants and has become hollow and has grown very tall more than about 40 feet in height this tree is dangerously perched and liable to fall down anytime, causing collateral damage to electric lines, communication lines, property and life. The second tree is slantly standing - may cause damage to the adjescent buildings.
3. Despite complaints to the concerned departments, no action is forthcoming. As a retired officer and a senior citizen, i fail to comprehend the inertia and total callousness to the problem.
4. Pertinent to mention that, a few months back, a branch dislodged itself from the dried tree and fell on the electric wires, disrupted electricity for some time.
5. Connected officials have already examined the situation & have concurred for removal of these trees.
6. Before happening of any catastrophic damage in future, is not the onus and responsibility of the same entirely lies with your department?. Please convey to the concerned authorities, to initiate quick necessary practical action for felling / pruning the dangerously standing trees, and this matter may please be treated as emergency.
Kindly understand and respond to the citizens problems quickly.

Yours sincerely,
Ramesh m r
