Speaking at an event, Karnataka Forest minister Eshwar Khandre said, “There is a 153-acre land in North Bengaluru which was under Karnataka Forest Development Corporation (KFDC). The forest department will turn it into a park that is similar to Cubbon Park. Bengaluru will get a new lung space for its people.”

Khandre also said that another big park is needed for Bengaluru as the city is growing rapidly. He said, “North Bengaluru is growing at a bigger phase and people of this area need a lung space to breathe. It will be named after Salumarada Timmakka,” he added.

Timmakka is a popular environment from Karnataka who planned 385 Banyan trees between Hulikal and Kudur and single-handedly developed a 45-kilometer green cover on a highway. She was also conferred with Padma Shri in 2019 for her contribution to ecology.

Cubbon Park has been a favorite spot for people of Bengaluru as it reflects the true nature of the city. The government had plans to construct a 10-storey building inside Cubbon Park and it received a flak from the people. However, it later revoked the decision.
