The proposed Tunnel Road project in Bengaluru and the entry of the Adani Group have emerged as the first major challenge for Karnataka’s newly appointed Chief Minister DK Shivakumar. The project has sparked sharp debates among local residents, opposition parties, and environmentalists. Shivakumar, who recently took charge of the Congress-led government, must now address these controversies.
Under the Tunnel Road project, Bengaluru plans to construct underground routes in congested areas to ease traffic congestion. However, protests have erupted over land acquisition and environmental clearances. Several social organisations argue that the project could harm the city’s green spaces, while local residents are concerned about the displacement of homes and businesses.
