Cabinet to decide fate of long-delayed Ejipura flyover project
The state cabinet will likely decide on terminating the Ejipura flyover contract given to Simplex Infrastructures Ltd.
Citing a lack of physical progress and a delay of more than two years, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) had recommended terminating the contract and encashing the bank guarantee given by the company.
The Urban Development Department (UDD) is learnt to have sent the BBMP’s request to the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO). The matter will likely come up at the next cabinet meeting to be held after the budget session of the state legislature. In May 2017, Kolkata-headquartered Simplex Infrastructures Ltd was awarded the contract to build a 2.5-long flyover from Kendriya Sadan Junction to Koramangala in southeastern Bengaluru.
