BENGALURU: The campaign to form a massive human chain on Sunday, to protest construction of steel flyover is gaining support, both online and offline.
People from all walks of life including veteran freedom fighter H. S. Doreswamy, actor Prakash Belavadi and some legislators have expressed solidarity with the even.
One of the activists Srinivas Alavalli told Deccan Chronicle that with few days left for the event the feedback has been overwhelming.
Organisations such as Bus Prayanikara Vedike, Citizens’ Action Forum (CAF) and Residents Welfare Association (RWA) across the city, especially from North Bengaluru, are being invited to express solidarity.
It will be a silent protest and message will be reached to the administration with beda (do not want) campaign. Four meeting points have been identified for people to gather and to form human chain.
A structure has been created for people to assemble at Chalukya Circle, BDA junction, Cauvery theatre and Mekhri Circle as per their convenience. The idea is to say that the citizens are totally against steel and contractor lobby.
“We want green Bengaluru,” he added. The organisers have already sought police permission from four different police stations — High Grounds, Seshadripuram, Vyalikaval and Sadashivanagar. The police have granted permission and directed us to hold a peaceful protest, he added.
