Sadashivanagar residents halt BDA complex work

IN a glaring violation of rules, Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) has gone ahead with the construction of a multi-storeyed commercial complex in Sadashivanagar, without a sanctioned building plan.

Determined to preserve the peaceful nature of the largely residential area, a section of residents abruptly halted work on Tuesday. This is the second time within three weeks that they have stopped work.

The BDA site, measuring roughly 10,000sqft, is located on First Cross, 9th Main, of RMV Extension. The new building is coming up after demolition of an old BDA mini market functioning here since 1982. It is being re-developed simultaneously with six other complexes across the city. Mfar Developers is contracted with the job.
