Shivamogga (Karnataka), Jan 17 (ANI): Environmentalists are in panic as many trees are being chopped down to 'develop' the Karnataka's Shivamogga district into 'smart city'. One of the environmentalists said that the city is already observing high temperature, if we cut the trees the conditions will became worse. However, Deputy Conservator of Forest of Shivamogga said that they will remove only those trees which are needed to be removed. "Shivamogga has been included in smart city list and works regarding it are going on. We have given permission to remove some trees for developmental works. We will see that, we remove only those trees which are needed to be removed," said forest official.
