Following questions raised over the fate of the 15 lakh saplings Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) planted on June 27, on the occasion of Kempegowda Jayanti, the Authority has now called a short-term tender to create a website to provide live updates on the maintenance of the saplings to the public.
“To ensure transparency in the maintenance of the 1.5 million native saplings planted under BDA’s plantation drive on 27 June 2026, and to provide the public with accurate, real-time information on the status of the maintenance initiative, the BDA has invited short-term tenders for the development of a Post-Event Website,” the BDA said on social media platform X on Friday.
