Civic authorities halt roadwork near Pattandur Agrahara Lake

Following allegations that a road was constructed in the buffer zone of the Pattandur Agrahara Lake and a notice by the Karnataka Tank Conservation and Development Authority (KTCDA), the BBMP has put the project on hold.

In an order issued to the contractor by the executive engineer, road infrastructure (Mahadevapura), the BBMP directed the contractor to pause the project until further instructions, citing technical hurdles.

“The KTCDA has issued a notice asking us to apply for permission to take up the project. Hence, we have put it on hold until we get approval,” a senior BBMP official said.
