Recommended
As per the report of by Deputy Conservator of Forests, Bengaluru Rural Division, Devanahalli, all these trees belong to eucalyptus species. This Diversion of Forest land to the extent of 18.60 Ha. in Akkupete Reserve Forest area is barest minium and unavoidable and also required for the development of Greater Bengaluru Infrastructure. Hence I recommend this diversion proposal positively and it can be Diverted.
