Karnataka HC tells BMRCL to stop all work near Jakkur Aerodrome
The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday passed an interim order restraining the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) from carrying out the construction of the elevated metro line or any other construction activity on the western side of the Jakkur Aerodrome.
The petition contended that allowing construction of the elevated line in the ‘No Construction Zone/Runway Strip’ would sound the death knell for the aerodrome.
A division bench headed by Chief Justice Abhay Shreeniwas Oka passed the interim order in response to a PIL filed by Ajoy Kumar Patil, a city-based advocate.
