Karnataka High Court Directs Government to Scrap Bengaluru-Mysuru Infrastructure Corridor Project

The Karnataka High Court has directed the state government to scrap the Bengaluru-Mysuru Infrastructure Corridor (BMIC) project, noting only 1 km of the proposed 111-km expressway was built in over 25 years. The court highlighted delays due to corruption, political interference, and legal challenges, and urged fresh planning to address Bengaluru's traffic and environmental issues. The government cited ongoing Supreme Court proceedings as a barrier to progress, while the court emphasized the need for new infrastructure solutions.
