Hi,
The Bangalore Bruhat Metropolitan Palike (BBMP) is on road widening spree across the city. While the initial idea of extending roads to provide traffic congestion free experience to comuters is appreciable, the modus operandi involves enroachment of properties on either sides of the road to achieve the goal.
TDR (Transferable Development Rights) is the solution provided to the property owners at this point of time which i believe has little or no value for a common man (property owner).
I have read a couple of articles in the news papers that BBMP can't implement the plan unless the property owner/s agree to the plan.
1. Is there a provision in the law for the property owner to stop BBMP to implement it's plan unless agreed compensation is provided? OR Can the road widening plan be stopped by the property owners in case BBMP wants to pursue it's goal by just issuing TDRs?
2. What would the state governments role be in case of such issues?
