Metro: hearing on plea adjourned

BANGALORE: The Karnataka High Court on Friday adjourned a petition by traders and residents of Chinmaya Mission Hospital (CMH) Road seeking to stay all further proceedings by the Government in taking up the metro project.
The CMH Shops and Establishments and Residents' Association, Indiranagar, and others had moved the court, seeking a change in the alignment of the metro from CMH Road to Old Madras Road.
During an earlier hearing, the court ordered issue of notices to the State Government and the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd.
Senior counsel Pramila Nesargi, who is appearing for the association and two other petitioners — K. V. Ramakrishna and N. Suresh Kumar — said the petitioners had given a representation in August 2006 to the Chief Minister pointing out the defects in the project as enumerated by the Justice K. Shivashankar Bhat Commission which had gone into the issue.
They said on November 15, the State Government had issued a notification, asking the metro rail corporation to proceed with the work and also saying that there would not be any change in the alignment. They claimed that the ridership on the metro would be much higher if the alignment was shifted from CMH Road to Old Madras Road.
Justice S. Abdul Nazir adjourned further hearing on the case.

What use is it if you just copy paste articles from the Hindu ? If we wanted to read the Hindu's articles, we'd just go to The Hindu's website, not this blog!
Don't get me wrong, but you've lost the entire point in blogging.. you've got a great domain at Blogspot, why don't you actually make use of it ?
To see what I'm yaping about, take a look at this: http://www.thebangaloreblog.com/

I am a regular (daily) visitor of this blogsite for more than a year. I don't visit Hindu or TOI due to advertisements and pops and this is one stop shop for Bangalore news so it fulfills my purpose even though it's cut and paste.
