Ageing ornamental trees behind mass uprooting during rains in Bengaluru
Recent heavy rains in Bengaluru resulted in the uprooting of approximately 515 trees and the snapping of over 1,500 branches, primarily affecting ornamental species. Experts attribute this issue to inadequate management practices, including insufficient pruning and the impact of urban development on tree root systems. Environmentalists emphasize the need for a shift towards planting more native species to enhance the resilience of the city's green cover.
