JOIN US Residents and shop owners around Shivananda Circle who are opposing the proposed steel bridge met the Additional Chief Secretary, Urban Development Department (UDD) Mahendra Jain on Saturday.
The residents had moved the court seeking directions to quash the government order which approved construction of steel overbridge at Shivananda Circle on Hare Krishna Road.
The state government had announced the 1.5-km steel bridge in its budget for easing traffic at the circle. The residents contended that the project would lead to more traffic bottlenecks and worsen the situation. The court, while disposing of the PIL directed them to approach the UDD with their representation.
Jain told the residents that he would get the details of the project from BBMP and then call for a meeting.
