Following backlash from citizens, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has promised to keep the controversial plan to build a flyover along Sankey Tank on hold till it gets the approval of the Bengaluru Metropolitan Land Transport Authority (BMLTA).
The message was conveyed to the residents who met BBMP Chief Commissioner Tushar Girinath on Wednesday.
The file seeking approval for removal of trees on the stretch is pending at the office of the BBMP’s Deputy Conservator of Forests (DCF), and the commissioner has asked the officials not to proceed with it.
