NGT issues notices to Karnataka govt, agencies over flaws in ₹19,000 crore Bengaluru Twin Tunnel Road project

BENGALURU: The National Green Tribunal started hearings on Bengaluru’s most talked about Twin Tunnel Road project.

At the first hearing on Wednesday, the NGT ruled that notices be served to the Karnataka government, BBMP (now Greater Bengaluru Authority), Environmental Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA), B-SMILE, Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change, and the project consultants.

The petition was filed by Bengaluru Praja Vedike and others two weeks ago, to draw attention to flaws in the tunnel road project. The NGT posted the next hearing to November 3.
