With the Bengaluru civic polls looming, the Karnataka Cabinet on Thursday approved a Rs 6,000 crore boost to the city’s infrastructure along with a grand plan to address mobility issues at the notorious Hebbal junction.
Briefing reporters, Law Minister J C Madhuswamy said that Bengaluru will get Rs 6,000 crore over three years under the Chief Minister’s Amrit Nagarotthana scheme. “The city will get Rs 2,000 crore every year,” he said.
The funds will be used for development of basic infrastructure in the city. This will be in addition to the works already taken up by the BBMP, Madhuswamy said.
Separately, Madhuswamy unveiled the government’s “vision” to ease traffic flow at the Hebbal junction, which connects the city to the airport. The plan also involves interventions aimed at KR Puram and Tumakuru Road where vehicular density is nightmarish.
