Who (from common Praja) would say "no need" or "I don't care". I'll really like to hear from them.

First off - I hope the BMIC peripheral road is completed as quickly as possible and then extended from Peenya to NH-7. This can reduce a lot of the connectivity noise to BIAL emnating from South Bangalore.
On the main project itself - I think some transparency is most welcome. There is just too much public land involved in this for an "ignorance is bliss" approach. The acreage being talked about is in the 20000 range - 8000 hectares - 80 sqkm. Or about 1/3 km on either side of the expressway. That is a lot of land. Were there wetlands involved?
Any PPP should be subject to RTI.

yaawn! is a valid position.

apathy is a valid position. it can be congenital or a developed reaction. both quite natural, quite valid. feel free to reword the poll. but i think, the poll itself is important. with change in government we are at a cusp wrt this project. it is very important to understand this project. it may be too late. but nevertheless, what really works with the project and is wrong about it we need to understand. all sort of thinking and ideas have helped us understand BIAL. i think this is as big a project as BIAL.

peenya to NH7 is not on cards sri. it never was. and with prr north loop on anvil, will prolly never be. perhaps rightly so. they ought to dump the southern half of prr. and invest that energy in something more tangible within all the ring roads we have.
