BDA Approves Road Widening In NPKL Fourth Block

13 Jan 2026 CW Team

The BDA board has cleared the widening of feeder roads measuring as little as 9 metres to up to 18 metres. The decision follows representations made by residents to P. Manivannan, Commissioner of the BDA, on 17 December last year. Manivannan had assured the allottees that the issue would be addressed after obtaining board approval.

During an NPKL review meeting held on 7 January, H. R. Shantharajanna, Engineer Member at the BDA, confirmed that the board had approved the proposal to widen the narrow roads in the Fourth Block.

Manjunath BS, a site owner in NPKL Fourth Block, said that while other blocks in the layout have wider roads, the Fourth Block alone had feeder roads as narrow as 9 metres. He added that residents had been seeking wider feeder roads since 2022.

Residents specifically demanded that the 9-metre-wide feeder road near the Anjaneya Temple in H Sector, which connects to the Major Arterial Road, be widened to 15 metres to enable smoother movement of vehicles, including those used by the public and visitors to the temple and nearby park.

They also highlighted that the main 4B feeder road running along Archakara Badavane in Kommaghatta is only 15 metres wide, making two-way traffic difficult in the Fourth and Fifth Blocks. This has also caused inconvenience to commuters travelling from Kengeri Satellite Town towards the Major Arterial Road.

Site owners welcomed the decision and praised Commissioner Manivannan for addressing their long-pending demands, noting visible improvements in the functioning of the BDA since he took charge.

Separately, the BDA conducted a South Zone Open House Meeting on Thursday, which lasted over three hours. Participants raised issues related to illegal construction, demolition of unauthorised structures, allotment letters for alternate sites and alleged land-grabbing attempts. Based on the complaints, Commissioner Manivannan issued appropriate directions to BDA officials.
