BANGALORE: The High Court on Friday asked BBMP to assess damage caused to residents of Nagareshwara Nagenahalli due to construction of Mantri Webcity.
The residents had approached the court alleging that blasting works carried out by the builder were damaging residential structures in the locality. Their petition states that the 24 acres of the project area is rockbed and in the process of removing the rocks, the developers were causing noise pollution as well as altering the landscape.
They urged the court to direct the BBMP and the developer to assess the project’s impact on the environment and sought restrictions on further construction activities including blasting of rocks. A division bench comprising Chief Justice D H Waghela and Justice Ashok B Hinchigeri directed the BBMP to submit a report within a week.
