Adani wins amendments, petitioners vow court fight over Bengaluru tunnel project
On August 24, the Karnataka government passed amendments to two laws in both Houses of the State legislature to clear legal hurdles for Gautam Adani-led Adani Group's Bengaluru North-South Twin Tunnel project. The amendments drew strong condemnation from petitioners who argued they amounted to retroactively regularizing violations. Laws amended include the Bengaluru Metropolitan Land Transport Authority Act and Karnataka Government Parks Preservation Act, allowing deemed approval for projects initiated before rules were notified and permitting alienation of park lands. BJP members protested, accusing the government of favoring Adani Group. Petitioners vowed to fight these amendments in court.
