  "account": "The Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) has recently issued a final notification to acquire 1,427 acres and 24.25 guntas of land on the city's outskirts for the Peripheral Ring Road-2 (PRR-2) project. This acquisition is part of the larger PRR, which has been rebranded as the Bengaluru Business Corridor (BBC). The project aims to decongest Bengaluru city by creating a circular corridor spanning 52.63 km. The land acquisition covers six hoblis in three taluks of Bengaluru Urban district, including Attibele, Jigani, Begur, Uttarahalli, Kengeri, and Dasanapura. The acquisition of this land will enable the construction of two main stretches of PRR-2, connecting Hosur Road to Tumakuru Road and Magadi Road to the Major Arterial Road (MAR). A senior BDA officer explained that the newly acquired land will connect the MAR, passing through the Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Layout, with the Magadi Road. The project, initially planned two decades ago, is nearing completion after 21 years since the preliminary notification. However, a litigation issue involving about 40 acres of land remains unresolved, with a farmer opposing the acquisition and threatening to continue legal battles. Despite this, the BDA remains confident that all beneficiaries will accept the offered compensation package, which includes four different options.",
  "summary": "The fresh final notification covers land parcels required for PRR-2, while work on PRR-1, divided into four packages, is at different stages of implementation",
