Updates:
* It has come to light that the KRDCL has issued contracts for transplantation and they are not waiting for the court decision on the submissions regarding this project.
* Nor do we have any news about reviewing of the project by the Govt, notwithstanding all the illegalities that we have highlighted to the govt.
* The list of trees that were supposed to be transplanted are nearly completed, and the survival rate is expected to be low. More importantly, the transplanted trees are very young trees, and the result is insignificant, the really important old trees have all been ignored, and may get felled.
* So, we need to now be wary about a full scale massacre of the majority of the trees.
* The impact of COVID 19 pandemic are now becoming clearer, some of the prominent ones are:
a) The usage of roads are declining sharply, as most car owners are working from home. This is expected to become a permanent feature.
b) Thus the very rationale for road widening is lost.

The following courses of action have been identified:

* We need to get more media coverage and spread awareness
* We need to get more media influencers, celebrities, politicians and decision makers to comment on this issue.
* We need to make this issue trend on media and social media.

a ) Facebook storm on This Sun, 30th Aug 2020 - 4.00 PM onwards.

2. Identify and connect with youth groups, college groups, volunteer groups, media personalities, radio / tv anchors / opposition and ruling party members, and put pressure on all fo them, to talk about this issue.
