The Karnataka High Court has criticized the Bangalore-Mysore Infrastructure Corridor (NICE) project for its minimal progress over 25 years, suggesting the state government consider abandoning it. The court noted only 1 km of the 111-km corridor is complete and planned satellite townships remain unrealized. While the state government cited pending Supreme Court cases, the court highlighted Bengaluru's severe traffic congestion and crumbling infrastructure, urging a decision to improve living conditions.
