The recent scrutiny of long-term
infrastructure projects lead to some shocking disclosures in the inspection and
one of them being that some projects started without even following the basic approvals.
The Bangalore Development Minister
R Ramalinga Reddy, in this recent inspection came to know that the BDA lacks
3.2 acres in the Nayandahally fly over project near Mysore Road, because of
which the project has been delayed.
This scrutiny also revealed that
the BDA has begun the construction without finishing land acquisition, which
was really a surprise. The Nayandahally
fly over project near Mysore Road, which is a 960-metre long flyover started in
2010 and was planned to be finished by 2013, but now it looks like even if BDA
gets the required land now, which they are lacking, the project needs five
months to get completed. The required
land for the project belongs to over 40 people as the property value is quite
high in this area, owners want the market value. And would be sorted very soon.
During the inspection, Mayor Sathyanarayana
found that the two ROBs at Byappanahalli and Jakkur was started by BBMP without
completing land acquisition.
Due to delay in the Nayandahally flyover
and along with the work on the Metro Rail Project, commuters on the Mysore Road
face a huge problem as it creates frequent traffic jams.
After the scrutiny, Ramalinga
Reddy the Bangalore Development Minister informed that the National College Metro corridor will be finished by
March 2014 and the train will start from Byappanahalli station to Mysore Road
Station by 2014. He also added that the
work from Kaggalipura to City Market will be completed by 2015 and by this
year-end metro services from Peenya to Malleswaram would be effective.
There is also
a proposal to concretize the road below the metro corridor from MG Road station
to Byappanahalli station and the road work cannot be started along with the
on-going metro work, said Pradeep Singh Kharola, MD, BMRC.
BS
Sathyanarayana stated that BBMP is planning to provide parking near all Metro
stations for Metro commuters and the fund for this will be utilized under the Jawaharlal Nehru National
Urban Renewal Mission scheme as guided by Ramalinga Reddy.
