Forty-five buildings on Mysore Road will make way for the second phase of the Namma Metro project. The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL), which is now gearing up for this phase, has called for a tender to undertake a building condition study, and feasibility of partial or complete demolition of buildings identified on the road.
As per the second phase plan, BMRCL has proposed to extend the existing east-west line from Nayandahalli to Kengeri. The line continues to be on the median of Mysore Road till it reaches Kengeri station. The five stations which will come up are Nayandahalli, Rajarajeshwari Nagar, Bangalore University Cross, RV College of Engineering and Kengeri.
BMRCL has prescribed guidelines in the tender documents which include study of building structure and its conditions, structural features of adjacent buildings which are going to be affected due to demolition, and supervising the demolition works.
The state government had entrusted the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development (KIADB) to acquire land for BMRCL to implement Phase II. As per estimates, BMRCL will spend Rs 1,977 crore for the land acquisition. The new phase has a total length of 72 km and will have four extensions of existing project — Mysore Road Terminal to Kengeri (6.46 km), Byappanahalli to Whitefield (15 km), Hesaraghatta cross to BIEC (3.77km), Puttenahalli Cross to Anjanapura Township (up to NICE road) and two new lines IIMB to Nagawara (21 km including 13.79 km underground stretch) and RV Road to Bommasandra (18.82 km).
Last year, the government had directed KIADB to lower the service and administrative charges to 4 % from 7.5% of the basic land cost. The decision was taken by the state government after BMRCL contended that a hefty service charge to acquire the land would be a financial burden. KIADB, the nodal agency which acquires land, charges 7.5% as service charge for public sector companies and 11 % for private companies.
