BDA Reclaims 19 Acres for Arterial Road Project

20 Jan 2025 CW Team

In a major step towards advancing Bengaluru's infrastructure, the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) reclaimed approximately 19 acres of encroached land on Thursday. This recovery is pivotal for completing the 10.3-km arterial road connecting Magadi Road and Mysuru Road via Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Layout.

Supported by local police, the BDA removed unauthorised structures from 16 acres in Machohalli Village, two acres in Kannalli, and one acre in Kenchanapura Village, all located in Yeshwanthpura Hobli of Bangalore North taluk.

The BDA has already constructed 8 km of the arterial road, and officials confirmed that the reclaimed land will enable the completion of the remaining 2-km stretch.

The operation followed a High Court order favouring the BDA's right to reclaim the encroached land. The demolition drive was carried out by the BDA Task Force in collaboration with BDA engineers.

This arterial road project is expected to significantly improve connectivity between Magadi Road and Mysuru Road, enhancing infrastructure in the city.
