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.
The group stated that they also contacted Shanthinagar MLA N.A. Haris from the Congress over the phone and shared a copy of the memorandum. The citizen coalition plans to approach other legislators whose constituencies fall along the proposed elevated corridor routes as part of its campaign against the project.
