S Lalitha ByExpress News ServiceBENGALURU: Owners of BDA sites in HBR Layout are upset about having to part with portions of their property for a metro station dotting the KR Puram-Kempegowda International Airport Line. They have submitted a petition to Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy as well as the managing director of Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL), calling for shelving of the proposed HBR Layout station. They are afraid that a metro station here will make the place congested. According to the petition, airport line will have Metro stations on either side of HBR Layout - at Nagawara, which is 0.9 km away from it, and Kalyan Nagar, which is 1.2km away.
