and require lifting the current night traffic ban, which wildlife experts fear will disrupt animal movements and harm the ecosystem. While Kerala views the project as beneficial, Karnataka's Forest Minister remains against lifting the night traffic ban and emphasizes the need for wildlife conservation. The project, estimated to cost ₹4,266 crore, has received approval but faces opposition from locals and environmental groups, who have staged protests in Mysuru. The debate highlights the tension between development and conservation, with the future of the sensitive Bandipur ecosystem hanging in the balance.
