BMRCL planting trees... saving lakes...

1.6 lakh saplings to be planted by BMRCL?
Why? nobody else is capable of even planting saplings? What tunnelling or train technology it needs> same with lakes why is BMRCL saving lakes now? Is this just to help it gain some brownie points for an infrastructure which is bleeding the city?
I feel BMRCL should make facilities for free bicycle parking which costs nothing instead of this circus projects which have nothing to do with its core competency. WHy doesnt BMRCL take on multimdal integration instead? build sidewalks, travelators & trolleys to nearest bus & train interchanges?
Can they complete the projects in time and cost?

Allocations to our city is most welcome. Qn is will the projects be completed in time and within the cost? It should not be like the CNR Rao circle underpass construction that has exceeded the deadline big time and cost overrun. I think there is one more reg the Metro. 10.5 km from Sampige Rd, Malleswaram to Peenya. Saw it on the tv. Not sure what that means.
