Bengaluru: The Karnataka High Court has refused to stay the Rs 1,800-crore six-lane steel elevated road project proposed by the state government. The proposed elevated steel road is expected to connect Basaveshwara Circle (Chaluka Circle) and Hebbal to decongest traffic on Bellary Road.
The High Court said the project would be subject to the final order to be passed on a petition that has questioned the legality of procedure followed by the state government in approving the project.
It may be recalled that Namma Bengaluru Foundation, in its public interest litigation (PIL) petition, said the state government had not followed mandatory procedures while approving the project and authorities had not provided important documents, such as project report and feasibility study report despite applications filed under the RTI.
