Continuing his opposition to the proposed Tunnel Road Project, BJP MP Tejasvi Surya on Wednesday argued that instead of spending ₹43,000 crore on the tunnel road that would only help car owners to move within a small corridor, the government could judiciously use these funds to set up over 300 km of metro network and implementation of another 314 km of suburban rail project so that 70% of Bengaluru’s population would use public transport.

“Judicial time is a valuable public resource. Every frivolous or misconceived invocation of constitutional jurisdiction results in diversion of time from genuinely deserving litigants,” said the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court while imposing a cost of ₹50,000 on a man from Theni district who filed a petition with an unusual prayer: permission to conduct daily protests till the ‘World War’ ends.
