Today ie., 14-08-2011, I have read an article in the TIMES OF INDIA on the quantum of compensation the Govt. of Karnataka is willing to pay to the farmers who have lost their pieces of land for the formation of Kempegowda Lay Out between Mysore Road and Magadi Road.

The Srinivagilu village road, which is an ideal link to Intermediate Ring Road (IRR) for S T Bed layout residents heading towards Indiranagar side, is becoming more and more unmotorable. The road, which was concreted a few years back, has got dug up at so many places along the length and breadth, resulting in its reverting to a regular village road, once again.
