IndiaResidents of Shivamogga protested against the cutting of approximately 30 trees at Science Field, alleging that the removal was done without proper procedures or permissions from the Forest Department. The protest was organized by the Shivamogga Nagarika Hitarakshana Vedikegala Okkoota, a local citizens' welfare group, who claimed there was no prior public consultation for the tree-cutting in a designated Green Zone. The trees were reportedly removed to make way for a new Karnataka Public School, for which Minister for School Education Madhu Bangarappa and other officials had recently laid the foundation stone. Protesters demanded protection of the Green Zone, compensation for the environmental impact, and legal action against those responsible. A memorandum was submitted to the Deputy Commissioner outlining these demands.
