Will use available land for Ballari road-widening: Govt to HC
The state government on Wednesday informed the Karnataka High Court that a decision has been taken on September 16 to widen Ballari Road, between Cauvery Junction and Mehkri Circle, with other viable options.
The deadlock over the widening is due to a pending plea before the apex court over the acquisition of Bangalore Palace and other surrounding open places.
A division bench headed by Acting Chief Justice Alok Aradhe is hearing a PIL filed by Samarpana, a Bengaluru-based socio-cultural trust, claiming that despite directions by the high court and the apex court, no action has been initiated for widening of the road.
