Residents of CV Raman Nagar on Saturday submitted a memorandum to their MLA S. Raghu demanding his intervention against the elevated corridor project taken up by Bengaluru Smart Infrastructure Ltd. (B-SMILE).

Residents are part of a citizens’ campaign urging the government to scrap the proposed elevated corridors and cancel tenders already awarded for the project. About two weeks ago, the same group held a public discussion about the project under the title “Dear DK, Flyover Yaake?”

Activists have sought to have the project’s estimated ₹13,000 crore budget instead diverted to what they describe as science-based mobility solutions.

A delegation of CV Raman Nagar visited Mr. Raghu’s office and submitted a memorandum detailing their concerns about the potential impact of the proposed corridor on their neighborhood.

The group said it also contacted Shanthinagar MLA NA Haris of the Congress over phone and shared a copy of the memorandum. As part of the campaign against the project, the civic coalition plans to reach out to other legislators whose constituencies fall within the proposed routes of the above-ground corridors.
