On May 19, Whitefield Traffic Police issued an advisory about slow-moving traffic due to water logging on Panathur RUB. Traffic officials were also seen removing the silt preventing the free flow of water in the drains. The completion and operationalisation of the new Panathur RUB would provide commuters respite from the severe congestion.
He also highlighted that around 95 per cent of Mahadevapura is facing different kinds of problems with footpaths and drains. “It’s widespread across Mahadevapura, and we have asked BBMP to take action. They have assured us of a 10-day drive against the violators with AEE and AE officials. BBMP will penalise the violators and also order them to rectify the damages done,” he added.
BBMP has proposed the project for nine high-density corridors: Bellary Road, Outer Ring Road from Goraguntepalya to KR Puram, Old Madras Road, Old Airport Road, Kanakapura Road, Hosur Road, Mysore Road, Magadi Road, and Tumkur road. In total, the whole stretch comprises 117.2 km.
He also stated that alternative roads are a few km away, so it might be inconvenient for people going in the other direction.
Pipeline work for the Cauvery Stage V Project, spanning 1.14 km, has commenced at Vibgyor School Road, Thubrahalli. Despite the project team taking necessary precautions, the work is expected to cause significant inconvenience to residents in the vicinity, and traffic congestion is anticipated.
