Members of Lanchamukta Karnataka Nirmana Vedike on Saturday protested against the delay in opening of shops in the newly built Jayanagar Shopping Complex.
Built at a cost of Rs 50 crore, the complex was inaugurated in October 2015, but the shops are yet to be put to use. Speaking to journalists, Ravikrishna Reddy, the president of the Vedike, wondered why the authorities were not looking into the issue.
He claimed BBMP is losing Rs 2 lakh per day owing to the delay in opening the shops. “We will continue to protest till the authorities come and open the shops,” he said and warned that traders would set up their own shops if the government does not take any action.
