C.V. Raman Nagar residents urge MLA to oppose elevated corridors project

Residents of C.V. Raman Nagar on Saturday submitted a memorandum to their MLA S. Raghu, seeking his intervention against the elevated corridors project taken up by Bengaluru Smart Infrastructure Ltd. (B-SMILE).

The residents are part of a citizen campaign urging the government to scrap the proposed elevated corridors and cancel the tenders already awarded for the project. About two weeks ago, the same group hosted a citizen discussion on the project under the title “Dear DK, Flyover Yaake ?”

The campaigners have sought that the estimated ₹13,000-crore project budget instead be redirected towards what they describe as scientifically-backed mobility solutions.

A delegation from C.V. Raman Nagar visited Mr. Raghu’s office and submitted the memorandum, which detailed their concerns over the potential impact of the proposed corridor on their neighbourhoods.
