Q. Bannerghatta National Park (BNP), recently seen in the news, is located in which state?
Answer:
Karnataka
Notes: Protests have erupted over a proposal by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to construct a six-lane elevated highway through Bengaluru's Bannerghatta National Park (BNP). The project, part of the satellite township ring road, aims to ease traffic but has sparked concerns among environmentalists for its potential impact on the ecologically sensitive park, home to endangered species. The plan includes cutting 1,288 trees within the park. Conservationists advocate for alternative routes, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach to infrastructure development and environmental conservation.
