1/n | FRESH ENCROACHMENT & TREE FELLING IN PATTANDUR AGRAHARA LAKE Sy 54 in WHITEFIELD?
a) According to public bystanders, people claiming to be from Puravankara Group, and employees of CMG Security, belonging to serving minister KJ George, were caught them red-handed felling fully grown trees on a Govt Land, without permission. They were ordered to stop felling and investigation is in progress, according to DCF GBA.
b) Lake land background: While the encroachment of 11 acres of the property is a matter sub-judice in an ongoing High Court case, this portion of around 2 acres (south east), is un-encroached land as per the Govt encroachment report - ie., it is undisputed Govt property. (Pls see pic of govt report sketch attached)
c) Are these people trespassing and cutting trees in the Govt land?
Real estate mafia #encroachment101?
d) Further, in the disputed portions of Sy 54, a lot of tree felling has occurred along the periphery of the land parcel, without permission from Forest Dept, in the past few weeks.
e) We demand that the BECC Commissioner and GBA Chief Commissioner, immediately take action to secure and protect this Govt lake land, which needs to be restored into a lake. @BECCUPDATES@GBAChiefComm@GBA_office@CMofKarnataka
f) We demand that the GBA Forest Cell take action against the perpetrators / custodian of the land, who have cut many trees along the periphery of the entire Sy 54, without tree-felling permission. @aranya_kfd

@MattWalshBlog Bro.
You can argue whether colonization was good or bad...but India, West Africa, Indonesia, etc were not "living in the Stone Age" before losing wars w white people.
