Controversies

On 2 June 2011, Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), the civic authority managing the mall, demolished the compound wall and the ramp of Mantri Square on Sampige Road citing traffic congestion and widening of Sampige Road.[6][7]

On 16 Jan 2017, the mall was temporarily closed. Concurrently BBMP withdrew the mall's occupancy certificate following a scaffolding collapse which had injured 2 housekeeping staff.

Regional Commissioner has ruled that the land belongs to the BBMP and directed the civic body to take possession of the land.[8]

gollark: Palaiologos may be biased, but really, aren't we all?
gollark: You're trying to apply regular legal concepts to the very limited "law" systems of the esolangs discord.
gollark: It took a lot of work and I have to use a custom static site generator but you can directly access https://osmarks.tk/otherstuff/ for example, no weird query strings or anything.
gollark: But surely a truly 1337 h4xx0r would have URLs which are better than that. Even osmarks.tk has neat URLs.
