Citizen meet takes stand against ‘reckless’ Tunnel Road Project

BENGALURU: Over 200 citizens, urban experts and scientists unanimously termed the proposed Bengaluru Tunnel Road Project (TRP) plan unscientific, fiscally reckless and environmentally disastrous. At a convention organised by the Save Bangalore Committee (SBC) on Sunday, the speakers highlighted that the detailed project report (DPR) contains 121 critical flaws, including plagiarised data, and warned that large-scale tunnelling could destabilise aquifers, worsen flooding and burden taxpayers for decades.
