Summary:
“Ongoing Metro work (RV Road-Bommasandra and Gottigere-Dairy Circle lines) has already affected traffic in places like Silk Board and Jayadeva Hospital junction. BMRCL had called tenders in February 2018 and it was supposed to have been finalised by May. The contractor may not be able to commence work as traffic police are unlikely to give permission to take up construction work in multiple places. If we take up another 17km on ORR, the situation will only worsen. A senior official claimed cancellation of the tenders won’t have a major impact for now..
