Gandhi Bazaar Project on Main Road by the BBMP Ruffles Feathers
In response to the ongoing road improvement project on Gandhi Bazaar Main Road being carried out by Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) and Directorate of Urban Land Transport (DULT), residents and business owners in Gandhi Bazaar have decided to file a new petition with the Karnataka High Court.
BBMP was instructed not to erect permanent structures under the pretense of offering temporary shelter to street sellers, as this could interfere with the operations of the traders along the stretch, following a High Court order dated August 8, 2023, a copy of which is with BM.

We attempted to contact the relevant BBMP personnel but to no avail. M Venkatesh, head of the Gandhi Bazar Traders’ Association, stated, “We have now decided to draw attention to this disdain through a PIL.
