The state government will stick to Transferable Development Rights (TDR) as the only way to acquire land for widening Bannerghatta, Begur and Sarjapur roads in Bengaluru, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said in the Legislative Assembly on Tuesday.
The widening of three arterial roads has been delayed due to troubles with land acquisition.
Private property owners are demanding cash compensation instead of the TDR.
The TDR refers to the grant of additional built-up area to a landowner in return for the portion of a plot taken for a public project.
“There’s a metro line that goes on these roads. The BMRCL, in order to fasten its work, offered higher compensation rates.”
