In a major victory for the citizen’s movement in Bengaluru, Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Monday ordered the cancellation of tenders for the first stage (21.54 km) of the 90-km elevated corridor project conceived by the previous Congress government.
The order, however, does not talk about scrapping the project but directed the officials to prepare a fresh action plan by evaluating the actual cost.
DH had carried a series of articles by speaking to several experts, highlighting the perils of the elevated corridor, under the title ‘Corridor of Chaos’.
In a note addressed to Chief Secretary T M Vijayabhaskar, the chief minister directed to cancel the tenders floated for three packages under the first phase of the project.
