HC questions BBMP on Shivananda Circle flyover

The High Court of Karnataka on Tuesday questioned the BBMP with regard to compliance with the Indian Road Congress guidelines in the construction of the Shivananda flyover.

Senior Counsel D N Nanjunda Reddy on Tuesday stated that the IRC guidelines with regard to vertical clearance and gradient are only applicable to underpasses and not flyovers.

A division bench of Acting Chief Justice H G Ramesh and Justice P S Dinesh Kumar were hearing a PIL filed by the residents around Shivananda circle.

The project report for the Shivananda flyover has been prepared after a detailed survey and consultation with IISC experts and scientific studies have also been undertaken with regard to its feasibility.
