BDA Issues Final Notification to Acquire Land for Peripheral Ring Road-2 Project
The Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) has issued a final notification to acquire 1,427 acres of land across 31 villages for the Peripheral Ring Road-2 (PRR-2), a 52.6 km, 10-lane road planned to run parallel to NICE Road and connect key highways around Bengaluru. The project, initially sanctioned in 2004, aims to improve connectivity and decongest the city. Landowners have expressed concerns over compensation and delays, with legal challenges having previously stalled progress. The PRR-2 will also link to a proposed township in Bidadi.
