Basavanagudi - Is No Action Acceptance ?

Ssnkumar,
The proposed work at Tagore circle has not commenced yet, I think. So, they may be considering options. However, traffic signals necessary there have also not been put up. So, I'm not sure what is cooking.
There had been no response other than acknowledging receipt of the suggestion !

The link below opens a pdf file (BBMP Quarterly Progress Report, the last posted on-line) that quotes that the Tagore Circle Underpass (Project Code BLR-018) was planned to be taken up under JNNURM.
bmponline.org/Bruhat%20Bangalore/quaterly%20progress/QPR-1st%20qtr%20new.pdf
Pages 45, 46 & 47 of the report refer to this. Under Remarks (Page-47), the following comments have been made :
Any issues / constraints in project implementation :
• The bids invited earlier were cancelled due to change in scope due to Metro alignment.
• The tenders have been invited as per the revised scope & work awarded.
This being an old & outdated (?) report for the period Apr-June, 2008, the latest is still not known about this - BBMP webpage has no other reference /information about this project.
Tagore circle underpass - really required ?

Tagore Circle debate continues, but one wonders if there really is a need ?
BBMP wants Netkalappa circle underpass

See this link.
Now, BBMP wants to build an underpass at Netkalappa circle. They cannot get traffic to use National college flyover & have made life miserable for all with their Tagore circle adventure, & now they talk of another underpass on the same street.
It's good that residents stand opposed to this.

I am very happy to see the initiative you have taken and the details provided.
So, I want to know, the results - did the authorities respond/take any actions?
Thanks,
Narendra
