Bengaluru tree branch fall tragedy prompts Karnataka HC to script tech driven public safety framework across State
After a tree branch fell in Bengaluru, the Karnataka High Court ordered a technology‑based public safety framework for the state. The plan will address hazards such as trees, damaged roads, open manholes, blocked drains, exposed electrical lines, unsafe construction and encroachments. The goal is to prevent deaths and serious injuries by identifying and mitigating these risks statewide.
