The tender process for the Peripheral Ring Road (PRR) has been scrapped by the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA), which has decided to issue a fresh one.
The move comes in the backdrop of investors, who took part in the tender process, asking the authority to come out with more clarity on the land acquisition cost.
BDA officials, citing a Supreme Court order, have been maintaining that the BDA Act applies for the land acquisition and not the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, as demanded by the farmers.
