Loss of face?
What with all the happenings in Karnataka politics – the schools imbroglio, the tipu sultan episode et al – that much hyped and hoped for public hearing of the woes of the CMH road shopkeepers association in connection with the metro track alignment has been put on the back-burner.
What is simmering however is the ire of the entire community. You can one expression of it in this defacing:
With our CM not know for his decisive-ness & firmness in dealing with problems (with the exception being the decision to constitute a special session of the legislature in Belgaum), it remains to be seen how he will tackle this problem…….
The CM’ll propose an extension of the metro to Belgaum.
I want to know how exactly was the Metro route planned? There must have been some basis for making it go over/under CMH road, what was it?
I don’t know the route planning or the reasoning behind having Metro on CMH road, but it is only normal for every one to say let it not be on my property, shift it to neighbour’s property. We can never have a Metro in Bangalore without having to acquire some property. Can’t really blame either parties, but whether it is old madras road or CMH, somebody should be ready to give in if we have to get the Metro going.
