The Bengaluru Development Authority (BDA) will hold a public consultation for the Peripheral Ring Road (PRR) project on August 18.
Citizens groups and environmental activists are up in arms against the project, which, according to the Environment Impact Assessment (EIA), will impact more than 33,000 trees.
In the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, several organisations have demanded that the BDA postpone the consultation. Others have suggested that the development authority convene multiple meetings to reduce crowds, and receive suggestions and objections online as well.
