BDA slows down as road project nears VIP trust
Work on a 10.77 km arterial road in Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Layout is moving at a snail’s place as it has run into a land acquisition hurdle. Of the 321 acres notified for acquisition, the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) has taken possession of only 252 acres so far.
One of the properties holding up the project belongs to a trust backed by Higher Education Minister Dr C N Ashwath Narayan.
Property owners who gave up their land for the project wonder what is stopping BDA from acquiring land belonging to the trust (Survey No 145, 144, 64/6 in Kommaghatta). The 10-lane road connects Mysore Road (RR Medical College) and Magadi Road (Kadabagere Circle).
