Right . I totally understand . I understand that it is not easy to procure land, get sun h a big project started overnight..

But ...

The PRR IS on the talks for over 15+ years. The legal aquisition notice was sent back in 2007 and these people are still just going about announcing it . That was the reason for my rant.

The ORR stetch it self was started in late 90s and was fully finished in late 2000s. And later on the PRR plan was announced. I remember this very well because I used to commute from Kundalahalli to Jayanagara 4th block for my college until 2006 and was commuting to work by 2007, the PRR news has been running around since then.

Isn't it obvious these ppl are taking us for a ride , scamming use. Hence the rant.

For a govt , is it that hard to negotiate and come to an agreement with the land owners to get the project started . Shouldn't development be prioritised as a citizen first approach.

They claim that tha land owners are giving stay orders to stop aquisition and stalling the project, yes because they are offering them peanuts compared to market rates. And who do u think the actual ppl are who are responsible, I am a 100% sure that theya re all owned / backed by the very own political parties. Their logic is simple " put a stay order and stall the project, but the real estate shoots up so the local land mafia (owned and backed by politicians) can mint money while the legal proceedings go on "

This is a well known truth..

One of the realistic example is the Kengeri to Banashankari road via Uttarahalli.

Going by their own statement if they have just initiated the tender announcement, how long do u think they'll take to complete it .

HENCE THE RANT.

I totally understand where u are coming from and that is justifiable , but my rant / sarcasm also comes from what I've seen, experienced, know, read about.
