metro north south extension maps

The maps for Bengaluru metro North south extension are put in their website. http://www.bmrc.co.in/news.html Lots of people living adjacent to kanakapura road will be losing land. Though its a right way forward to decongest these areas, the project may get mired with litigations and get delayed. We need services of DMRC chief E. Sreedharan to progress through obstacles.
