HC asks govt to submit details on Ballari Road widening

The Karnataka High Court on Wednesday asked the state government to submit details of steps taken, either in coordination with the BBMP or independently, to deal with the issue of traffic congestion on Ballari Road.

A division bench headed by Chief Justice Prasanna B Varale passed this order after going through the status report filed by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) regarding the ongoing widening of Ballari Road and Jayamahal Road.

The court was hearing a PIL petition filed by Samarpana, a Bengaluru-based socio-cultural trust, over the delay in road widening.
