Earlier on Saturday morning, Manjunatha Prasad had visited the area. Later, Prasad along with Ashoka and Gaurav Gupta briefed the CM at the latter’s residence. The CM’s compensation will be disbursed by BBMP in the next few days.
The CM said he had directed the civic agency to remove all encroachments from the area’s SWD, adding that he had set a deadline of 2-3 days for the work.
