Summary:
The affected shop owners are being relocated to 23 brand new shops built by BMRCL on nearby BBMP land and the shifting process began on Tuesday. The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL) intimated the shops, which run on BBMP property, in January this year that they had to relocate to make way for Metro. Aslam Pasha, a furniture shop owner, is pretty upset. BMRCL Chief Public Relations Officer, BL Yashwanth Chavan told The New Indian Express, “They are all BBMP shops. Only shifting allowance of Rs 35,000 per shop has been paid.” Despite many attempts BBMP’s Ravindra could not be reached..
