Deccan Herald 1 week ago

Bengaluru: The PRR Raitha Haagu Niveshanadarara Sangha on Monday urged the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) to recall the tenders for the first package of the 74-km Bengaluru Business Corridor, stating that the project has not completed mandatory requirements.

The farmers' body noted that the authorities have neither acquired 80% of the required land nor obtained environmental clearances for the project.

In a representation to the Bengaluru Business Corridor Ltd, which is implementing the project, the group said the government had mandated that tenders be called only after 80% of the land is fully acquired.

"What we know is that the BDA issued a preliminary notification for a 3.5-km link road to NICE on Tumakuru Road in 2022. So far, it has not issued a final notification," said association president Mavallipura Srinivas.

He also pointed out that several cases are pending in the Karnataka High Court.

"The BDA has also not received environmental clearance for the project. The detailed project report has not been finalised either," he said, urging the authorities to recall the tenders.
