Bengaluru: BMRCL seeks transfer of ownership of land for construction of Kempapura cross station

The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL) has sought the transfer of ownership of land falling under the Nagawara lake to build the airport line’s Kempapura cross station, a part of Metro Phase 2B project.

Confirming the development, BMRCL managing director Anjum Pervez said, “Karnataka Tank Conservation and Development Authority (KTCDA) has issued an NOC to the BMRCL to use the land for the construction of the station. The state government has sought a report from the deputy commissioner’s office. A call to transfer the ownership of the land will be taken based on the report. I do not think that is a major hurdle. We hope to receive the ownership soon.”
