The BBMP has taken up the crucial culvert work at the Panathur RUB to prevent future flooding, a problem that became apparent during heavy downpours a few months ago. The drainage construction has been a joint effort, with the railways handling one portion and the BBMP RI team taking charge of the part under their jurisdiction. This collaborative approach aims to mitigate the flooding risk and improve overall connectivity in the area.

Chroma Road, an alternative route parallel to the Panathur main road, is crucial for reaching the outer ring road and easing traffic at Panathur RUB. However, this route often floods during rains, rendering it impassable. The Mahadevpura Task Force (MTF) suggests avoiding it during the rainy season and opting for it in drier months. Commuters diverted to Panathur RUB because the flooded Chroma vent encountered heavy congestion.

Pushpal says that he often sees drivers overtaking in opposite directions and also two-wheelers blocking the road completely, which doesn’t allow the other side traffic to pass, which creates a deadlock situation.

They have noted that apartments such as Sobha Dream Acres in the area have close to 4,000 flats, housing more than 7,000 people – many of whom use their private vehicles or other modes of transport such as autos or cabs as a reliable public transport system is not available in the locality. ​
