BANGALORE: The State Government recently issued a gazette notification for acquisition of properties required for the North-South extension of Namma Metro Phase I. A copy of the notification could be viewed on Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd., website — www.bmrc.co.in along with general alignment drawing of the extension.

In all, 305 properties with a total area of 1.54 lakh square metres of land would be acquired for the extension project — from Yeshwanthpur to Hessarghatta Cross in the North and from R.V. Road Terminal to Jaragenahalli in the South.
