The Karnataka Rashtra Samiti (KRS) has demanded a probe into the “substandard” construction of the Peenya flyover leading to wastage of over Rs 700 crore “caused by corruption.”
In a letter to the chief minister, KRS state president Ravi Krishna Reddy noted that the flyover between Goraguntepalya and 8th Mile was built just 12 years ago and is now declared unsafe by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). Reddy urged the government to escalate the matter to the Centre for a thorough investigation.
“The company that built the flyover, as well as the company that gave the third-party quality control report, should be blacklisted immediately.
