Experts, former bureaucrats, politicians oppose parks, BMLTA amendments, write to governor

The opposition to amendments in the Parks and Bengaluru Metropolitan Land Transport Authority (BMLTA) is growing, with experts, former bureaucrats, environmentalists, and activists submitting objections to the amendments. These individuals urged Governor Thaawar Chand Gehlot to refer the bills back to the state legislature for reconsideration, citing constitutional, environmental, and institutional concerns.

Both bills were passed by the state legislature without substantial debate on August 24, despite objections from citizens, civil society organizations, experts, and former senior government officials.
