Lawyers petition HC for reopening Devaraj Urs Road

The All India Lawyers federation has petitioned the Karnataka High Court to order the Government to reopen the Devaraj Urs Road which links Gopala Gowda Circle and Basaweshwara Circle. This arterial road was closed to lay a garden between Vikasa Soudha and Vidhana Soudha. Though the lawyers' move appears motivated by selfish reasons, given that they have to take several detours to reach the High Court, this move will benefit the larger public if the court rules favourably.
