A year after the Karnataka government's order requiring a one-meter de-concretization around roadside trees in Mysuru, many trees remain suffocated by concrete, tar, or tiles. The directive, issued on June 17, 2025, aimed to enhance water percolation and root health. Environmentalists from the group Parisarakkaagi Naavu, led by Parashuramegowda, are set to launch a campaign on June 5, 2026, to clear these tree bases, starting near JC Engineering College. They have identified numerous affected trees across various locations in the city. The Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) had previously identified 108 trees needing attention and implemented a fine of ₹2,000 for non-compliance with the de-concretization order. The initiative is part of broader efforts to protect Mysuru's green cover and ensure the health of urban trees, as emphasized by former Forest Minister Eshwar Khandre and supported by the National Green Tribunal's ruling.
