What is the truth of Narayanpura Metro Station ?
Written By kbsyed61 - 12 June, 2012
Bangalore Station Transparency Bengaluru Namma Metro Citizen Reports Metro Rail Land Acquisition Narayanpura Station
On Metro's R1 Extension from Biappanhalli to Whitefield, about 14 metro stations are being proposed and Naryanpura station is one among them.
Recently one of the Praja member brought to the notice of 100 Houses and One school being acquired/going to be acquired for building this station. This was immediately responded by another member saying 100 seems to be too large a number given the BMRCL's own admission that only 855 properties were being affected in all phases.
Obviously without confirmed information, it is hard to accept or reject the claim of 100 properties for single station. If it is so, need to know the compulsion for such high number properties being acquired. What started ringing the bell is the number 100 and the school.
Tried to Look for information on BMRC website (www.bmrc.co.in). Could find 2 Tender documents that were floated for this extension.
Geotechnical Investigation for Viaduct and Stations for Bangalore Metro Rail Project,
These documents doesn't carry those details that I was looking for. So the quest for right information has begun and I have started to look for this information:
-
Exact Location for Naryanpura Station
-
Criteria/Qualification for this location
-
Any government land being used for this purpose?
-
If yes how much?
-
Is there any land acquisition done from individual private parties?
-
If yes, how much land is being acquired? How many individual or entities being affected?
-
If yes, any official notification to this effect?
-
Compensation and Rehabilitation Package?
-
If yes, any public buildings like school/hospital/offices being acquired?
-
If yes, what is the rehabilitation package?
Even for all other stations that are already in operation in Phase-1, no information could be found. Hopefully BMRCL can provide this information upon request.
Will I be successful in my quest?

Latest on Narayanapura station

We have now reliable information that there are two proposals for Narayanapura Station one for 100 meters and another one for 35 meters(excluding the parking facility).
The 35 meters proposal will save the houses but will partially damage the St Peter school in B.Narayanapura.
Those who have personal contact witha metro official will help us to get more information on this.
