BTM Layout MLA Ramalinga Reddy and BBMP Commissioner B H Anil Kumar on Monday inspected the stalled roadwork that would link Roopena Agrahara and Hosur Road via BTM Layout in southern Bengaluru.
The work has been halted for two years now because of various reasons that include the National Green Tribunal’s (NGT) ruling on lake buffer zones, pending payments to the contractor and land acquisition issues.
The civic body wants to build a 60-foot-wide one-kilometre-long road between Roopana Agrahara and Hosur Road that would help commuters avoid a four-kilometre detour. The work, estimated to cost Rs 25 crore, is 40% complete.
