We had taken an initiative to plant trees along BRTS a few months back and also planted hundreds of trees. DHARWAD: The city has lost hundreds of trees owing to the BRTS project between Hubballi and Dharwad . “Hundreds of trees were felled while implementing BRTS and no efforts have been made to grow trees between the twin cities. Learning a lesson from it, some residents have come together to increase the green cover from Jayanagar last stop to Basavanagar Circle on Haliyal Road in Dharwad.The PWD has started constructing a 2-km cement road from Jayanagar to Basavanagar cross and axed about 7-8 trees to widen the road. As a first step towards our commitment to develop greenery, we have started planting trees along the cement road,” said Kumbi.“We have placed tree guards around the saplings.
