In a major victory for citizens, the Division Bench of Chief Justice Vikramajit Sen and Justice Aravind Kumar on Wednesday stayed further progress on the Sirsi Circle-Agara signal free corridor until a committee formed under the Additional Chief Secretary, along with the citizens, agreed upon the alignment of the corridor.

Disposing the matter, the Division Bench set a precedence by directing civic agencies like the BBMP and the BDA to involve the citizens who are likely to be affected by the ‘development’ projects.
