The High Court has almost said YES by lifting the stay on an earlier order permitting the GKVK Link road (which will connect Bellary Road to Yeshwantpur-Yelehanka Road) work to continue (while not passing any final order) but also saying that a committee will be formed "to suggest ways for going head with the project in the interest of general public and also to review its bio-diversity aspects"
So my earlier post where I was saying that the GKVK will be saved - is no longer true..
You can see the sheer audacity of BBMP when their counsel says that "The BBMP had spent Rs100 crore for the project. Only the asphalting work was pending, The formation of the road will benefit general public"
Did the BBMP consult anyone before starting this work?
What does he mean when says that only asphalting is pending - does he even talk of who gave him the authority to cut the tree & what about the massive loss caused by cutting those 3000 trees?
When the whole world is talking of climate change & crying hoarse over the rising mercury, all BBMP can come up with is cutting trees & not having any idea what environmental damage they are creating.
The big surprise was the usually watchful forest department washed its hands by saying that "the campus is not fully under its jurisdiction"
The early morning walks in GKVK will be a thing of the past for all of us who stay nearby..
Bye Bye GKVK

This is our Mai Bapp Sarkaar. One hand doesn't know what the other is doing and citizens do not figure in the scheme of things in any case. They only talk of PPP when they need private money with government style accountability.
