Siddaramaiah seeks defence land for development works

BENGALURU: CM Siddaramaiah met Defence Minister Rajnath Singh in New Delhi on Tuesday and sought defence land for development works in Bengaluru.

In his memorandum to Singh, Siddaramaiah said Bengaluru is the IT city and people from all over the country come here seeking jobs. It is also one of the most-congested cities. The state government is striving hard to provide infrastructure to reduce traffic congestion, he said. He appealed to Singh to provide 0.11 acres of defence land for the Bengaluru Suburban Railway Project.
