The Major Arterial Road (MAR) project proposed by the BDA, which was intended to boost connectivity to Kempegowda Layout, has hit a roadblock, the latest in a string of BDA projects which have missed deadlines.
According to the tender notification, the BDA had set September 2019 as the deadline for completion of the MAR. But the ground reality tells a different story: except leveling of 5-6 km of land, there has been no headway.
BDA sources said the main obstacle for the project is land acquisition. According to Prashanth, a resident of Kenchanpura, whose land has been marked for the project, said the BDA is not abiding by the agreement.
“BDA engineers are promising to allot the land at some other places. But according to the agreement, sites should be given on the same lands,” he said.
