Surya alleges Lalbagh tender permits five-storey commercial complex

Bengaluru, July 19 (UNI) BJP MP Tejasvi Surya on Sunday alleged that the Karnataka government's tender for the proposed tunnel road project permits construction of a five-storey commercial complex inside Lalbagh Botanical Garden, turning the controversy over land acquisition into a larger debate over the alleged commercialisation of one of Bengaluru's oldest heritage green spaces.
Leading a protest outside Lalbagh, the Bengaluru South MP claimed that while the state government has maintained that a portion of the botanical garden is required only for constructing an entry and exit ramp for the proposed tunnel road, the tender document authorises development far beyond transport infrastructure.
According to him, the document provides for a multi-storey commercial complex housing malls, restaurants and other commercial establishments.
