Staff Reporter

BANGALORE: Two autorickshaws and a car were damaged after a 200-year-old banyan tree fell on them on Venkatapura Main Road in Madivala police station limits around 11.30 a.m. on Monday.

The police said children of a nearby school used to play under the huge tree everyday during their lunch break. There would have been loss of lives had the tree collapsed during that hour, they said.
