RITES: Double-decker flyover undercuts Bengaluru Metro gains

RITES has raised concerns about Bengaluru's proposed double-decker flyover, warning it could hinder the Metro's effectiveness and boost private car usage. The engineering consultancy claims that constructing this flyover might face substantial technical and operational hurdles, going against national goals for sustainable urban transport. The Karnataka government now has to weigh these critiques as it decides the flyover's future, highlighting a potential conflict between regional infrastructure plans and national sustainability objectives.
