Day after Gautam Adani meets D.K. Shivakumar, government amends two laws to clear legal hurdles for tunnel road project
The move has drawn strong condemnation from the petitioners arguing that this amounted to “regularising violations in retrospect”.
Just a day following Gautam Adani's meeting with Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar at his residence, the government passed two bills in both Houses of the State legislature to address legal issues surrounding the North-South Twin Tunnel project. This development comes amidst three petitions in the Karnataka High Court, which claimed the tunnel road project breached two specific laws.
The government's amendment has, however, come under intense scrutiny, particularly from the petitioners who argue that the move constitutes a "retroactive legitimization of violations."
