The BBMP has written to the state government recommending termination of the contract awarded to Simplex Infrastructure to build the 2.5-kilometre flyover on the Inner Ring Road in Ejipura.
The civic body’s move follows a rap from the Karnataka High Court.
Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, who holds the Bengaluru Development portfolio, will likely decide over bringing a new contractor to complete the work.
Though the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) mulled over scrapping the contract earlier, it chose to continue with the contractor since the process to pick the new firm would need at least three months, besides three more months to mobilise the resources.
