We are moving...
The famous M G Road promenade trees which make way for the Namma metro which is proposed to run along the famous MG Road are in a process of shifting out of the path. A detailed project report prepared by the DMRC and RITES envisages a 33km elevated and underground rail network with 32 stations for Phase I of the project. The proposed gauge is standard gauge . On 25 April 2006 the Indian cabinet approved the project, which is now budgeted at more than 54.5 billion rupees (about US$1.2 billion). The foundation stone was laid by PM Manmohan Singh on June 24, 2006, and the work is scheduled to be completed by 2011.

Thanks, Rajesh, for the linkup!
Always sad to have to clear trees...
I like the helmet-ed official in the bottom right corner.
Are they going to be re-planting those trees? :-O

Sad to see the promenade dismantled. Always loved to walk on it. Surprised, there was not much of an outrage against this.
