Forum flags shortcomings in Kempegowda Layout

Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Layout, where over 26,000 sites are being formed, does not have a single playground.

Although the layout is coming up on 2,694 acres of land, the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) diverted land notified as open space for residential purposes. This is the complaint submitted by the Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Layout Open Forum to Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar on Tuesday.

They brought to his notice the slow progress of work as the BDA has achieved only 60 per cent of the civil works in the last 13 years.
