The Story in Brief
Karnataka Road Development Corporation Ltd has set December 2026 as the new deadline for the Rs 488-crore Varthur elevated corridor, work on which began in May 2019. The Times of India reports that the original completion date was November 2021, but delays due to land acquisition, utility shifting, and contractor issues have repeatedly pushed it back. Eighty per cent of land acquisition is complete, but 14 properties remain pending. Residents remain skeptical after six years of missed deadlines and deteriorating infrastructure on the SH-35 stretch.
The Indian Opinion
The claims of 'ensuring completion without fail' ring hollow after six years of missed deadlines. Residents are right to judge by ground progress, not official assurances. The real test is whether KRDCL can resolve the 14 pending land acquisitions and hold the contractor accountable. Who will compensate commuters for years of lost time and damaged roads?
