He admitted that maintaining the remaining tree line avenues is a challenge because of the increasing demand of road spaces for infrastructure works. He said BBMP has decided to plant only dwarf species like Honge, Pride of India, Indian Almond Tree and Jamoon on road sides. “Also since there is no space left on the road sides and around the city to plant the big tree species, we are planting saplings where space is available. The tree committee appointed by BBMP officials and High Court said that most of the tree line avenues have been lost due to laying of Metro lines, footpath improvement, flyovers and building construction. Saplings and space around lakes will be provided by BBMP..
