A road cuts through sanctuary
The realigned road requires about eight acres of forest land under Kalkere state forest, part of BNP’s wildlife range.
It has realigned its ambitious Peripheral Ring Road through the Bannerghatta National Park. The original alignment was to go through Weavers’ Colony, a hamlet with over 400 houses near Gottigere village.
The realigned road requires about 8 acres of forest land under Kalkere state forest, part of BNP’s wildlife range. Even if the BDA acquires all necessary permission, it still needs around 6 acres of the forest which are part of the BNP. According to BNP officials, parts of survey No. 110 of Gottigere village and survey No. 6 of Basavanapura village fall under PRR alignment. These have been part of BNP ever since it was declared a national park in 1974.
Efforts are on to convince BDA to either realign PRR or pay aid as per directions from the Centre. The PRR project, announced two years ago, will be delayed as forest land under the new realignment is part of the first phase involving 65 km of the 116-km road. After a joint inspection by BDA and forest department on the realignment on Monday, forest officials have written to BDA commissioner to either realign the route or pay aid.
Pointing out that the area was only a rocky patch, BDA commissioner Shankarlinge Gowda said: "Is there any forest in the realigned project? Should we go over 400 homes, or a rocky area?"
Gowda said BDA was ready to approach the Centre to get necessary clearance since the land was under the national park area. "We’ll follow the procedure," he said.
