BAMUL intends to open Nandini parlours near Bengaluru metro stations
'With the aim of expanding the sales network of Nandini milk and dairy products, a request was submitted to grant space for constructing Nandini parlours in the open vacant areas belonging to the department in front of metro stations to sell the products,' Mr. Suresh said on social media platform X.
Sources in BMRCL said that while the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) will set up Nandini parlours in six metro stations, BAMUL has also been asked to identify the other stations where they would want to set up the parlours.
Previously, in June, KMF was instructed by Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar to submit applications to a tender called by BMRCL to open Nandini outlets in metro stations after the government was blamed by the opposition for favouring Amul over Nandini. Amul was the lone applicant for BMRCL's tender and was allowed to open its outlets in 10 metro stations.

Rs 22 crore parking lot comes up at Gandhi Bazaar in Bengaluru
BENGALURU: Finding parking space in the city is an irritating exercise for Bengalureans. Now, the BBMP is offering a bit of breathing space for motorists with its Rs 22-crore multi-level car parking complex in Gandhi Bazaar. The complex, which will be opened for public use soon by Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, will also have 50 shops on the ground floor. Car parking is arranged from the first floor to the fourth floor (31 vehicles per floor), and a total of 124 vehicles can be parked. One lift and 6 toilets have been constructed. On Friday, BBMP Chief Commissioner Maheshwar Rao inspected the facility. He also inspected the work of granite cobble stone, bollards and white topping on the footpath at the entrance of Gandhi Bazaar Main Road and lauded for the comprehensive development of the road and footpath and directed to that no hawkers or encroachers should take away public space. He also visited the Garbage-Sludge separator unit at Koramangala and said it should be made a model site. Proper arrangements should be made for those who come to study/train at this place. Garbage separator unit has a collection unit for recyclable materials, dry waste collection unit, biogas unit and mini transfer station, which should be properly maintained and sprayed from time to time to prevent odour, he said. As trash like commodes, beds, and furniture end up on the streets and become a black spot eventually, Rao suggested finding a dedicated space in the zone to store equipment like commodes, beds, and furniture. Recyclable material can be brought there, he said. He inspected the parking lot of Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) in front of the bus stand at Banashankari Circle and the space in the same location, and suggested that steps be taken to utilize the space to accommodate nearby street-side traders. Zonal commissioner Digvijay Bodke, Joint Commissioner Dr. Madhu, Deputy Commissioner Lakshmi Devi, Chief Engineer Basavaraj Kabade, Lokesh, Superintendent Engineer Hemalatha and other officials were present during the inspection rounds.

Karnataka High Court asks BMRCL to consider residents' plea for metro station at Bettahalasur cross on airport line
The High Court of Karnataka on Wednesday directed the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. (BMRCL) to consider representations given by the public for construction of a metro station at Bettahalasuru cross on the airport link line of Phase-2B metro project as was originally planned. A division bench comprising Chief Justice Vibhu Bakhru and Justice C.M. Joshi issued the direction while disposing of a PIL petition, filed by B.G. Nanjundappa and four others from Bettahalasur area. Not domain of court However, the bench made it clear that it cannot issue any specific direction on the issue of construction of the station as the issue does not come under the domain of the court. The petitioners had complained that the BMRCL in 2019 had planned a metro station at Bettahalasur cross, had acquired land for this purpose, and paid compensation to the land owners. However, the BMRCL dropped the plan of constructing station at Bettahalasur cross. On enquiry made through RTI, the petitioner came to know that the plan of station at Bettahalasur cross was dropped as a private company, Embassy Group, had backed out from sponsoring the station as was agreed earlier. In public interest However, the petitioners have said that withdrawal of the private company from sponsoring the station should not result in construction of a station as it would be responsibility of the BMRCL to construction the station in public interest. The petitioners have also pointed out that a station at Bettahalasur cross is essential as it is situated between Bagalur and Doddajala stations, which are situated around 4 km away from Bettahalasur cross on either side, as the BMRCL's proposal is to have a station for every 4 km.
