Karnataka Dy CM directs BBMP to take measures for land acquisition

A division bench of the High Court had also passed an order with regard to this work and set a timeline about 10 years back.

Deputy Chief Minister and Malleshwaram constituency MLA Dr CN Ashwatha Narayana has directed the Chief Commissioner, BBMP to take action to acquire the land required to widen the two roads that pass through the constituency. Addressing the media on Wednesday, after convening a meeting with Gourav Gupta, the Chief Commissioner, BBMP, with regard to the development works in the Malleshwaram constituency and Covid management in the BBMP limits, said, the stretches between Mekhri Circle-Tata institute and Mekhri Circle-Sankey road, are long pending to be widened. The stretch between Mekhri Circe-Tata institute leading towards Yashawantapur should have been widened long back. But, due to the non-cooperation of the IISC to part with the land, this could not happen, he explained.
