The Karnataka High Court on Wednesday directed the BBMP to submit a comprehensive statement by April 18 regarding the Ballari Road widening work.
A division bench headed by Chief Justice Prasanna B Varale passed this direction after going through the affidavit on the works being undertaken from both Cauvery theatre junction to Mehkri Circle as well as on Jayamahal Road.
The court was hearing a PIL filed by Samarpana, a Bengaluru-based socio-cultural trust, over delay in the road-widening work. The petitioner claimed that no action was initiated on the proposed widening of Jayamahal Road (from Mehkri Circle to Cantonment Railway Station) and Ballari Road (from Mehkri Circle to BDA junction), despite directions from the apex court.
