Namma Metro Phase 2 Soil Testing

10 June 2009 - 4:55pm — Vasanth

Today morning I saw soil testing of Namma Metro Phase 2 in Bank Colony near Udupi Upahar hotel. Boards had written "namma metro phase 2 soil testing".

We didn't hear anywhere officially about the alignment of Phase 2 Namma Metro. Surprised to see this!!

Had a chance to use the bus today to office..the bus went through MG road for a distance..havent been on this road for about 3 years now! The superstructure is slowly getting into place..here are two photos..

9th May 'interaction' with Metro - who were "they"?

On 16 March 2009, the Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka issued a direction to all agencies involved in management and implementation of urban projects that they would "strictly follow" the provisions of the Karnataka Town and Country Planning Act and Karnataka Preservation of Trees Act (in WP No. 7107/2008, Environment Support and ors., vs State of Karnataka).

The irony of the whole Metro-Nanda Road issue is this paragraph that is proudly displayed on the Bangalore Metro website. (http://www.bmrc.co.in/)
