BBMP asks citizens to report vulnerable trees, branches

Bengaluru: The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has urged citizens to report dangerous trees and branches in the city via zone-specific WhatsApp numbers.

Last week, heavy rains caused over 200 trees to fall, resulting in damage to life and property.

While the BBMP is actively identifying and removing hazardous trees, it said public support is crucial.

To improve green cover, the BBMP is also distributing saplings for free. Those interested, can collect them from the BBMP nurseries at Kempapura, Koodlu, Atturu, or Jnanabharathi.
