FOLLOWING the hue and cry raised by the public against the proposed flyover at Ramakrishna Ashram in Basavanagudi, former chief secretary A Ravindra said that no new flyovers should be taken up for construction without preparing a traffic transportation plan integrating both the road and rail transport requirements of Bangalore.

Accordng to a statement, he said the traffic transportation plan should be made a part of the Bangalore Development Authority’s Master Plan-2015.

The plan should be thrown open for public debate and should be finalised after taking into consideration public and expert comments.

He also appealed to Chief Minister N Dharam Singh and the civic authorities concerned to take an integrated view of the City’s development and proceed only after proper planning and holding consultations in the interest of the orderly growth of the City .
