NGT Halts Tree Felling for Hebbal Flyover Project in Bengaluru

The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has issued a major setback to the Hebbal Flyover project in Bengaluru. The NGT has halted the felling of 1,128 trees required for the project, a decision that has been welcomed by environmental activists.     The NGT's order came in response to petitions filed by environmental groups concerned about the project's impact on Bengaluru's green cover.     The Hebbal Flyover project is aimed at easing traffic congestion in the city. However, the project has faced opposition from environmentalists who argue that it will result in significant deforestation and harm to the city's ecosystem.
