The day after the school bus bearing 20 children almost overthrew when his bike was stuck in an open runoff along the Balagere-Panathur Main Road, East City Corporation DS Ramesh, and said the section would be expanded to 18 meters priority.
Mr. Ramesh said that the work on road expansion was delayed due to obstacles to land acquisition, but made sure the process would be completed by means of a transferable development law (TDR). He added that compound walls that prevent work have been removed at some points, and the extension has already begun at the scene of the accident.
The Commissioner examined rainwater drains along the Balagere Road, where the interventions were found to block the free rain water flow to the lake Varthur. He ordered officials to immediately clean the interventions and accelerate the released work in areas such as Devasandra and Pai Layout.

The call of the Bengaluru Road with potholes on the public health crisis and the economic burden, a social worker, professor and civic activist Kiran Jeevan wrote a letter to Chief Minister Siddaraiaha, who demands resistant road management instead of repairing patchworks.
Mr. Jeevan, the founder of the “Namma Roads Matter” civic campaign, said that bad conditions on the road cause accidents and worsen respiratory diseases due to dust and pollution. He said that while the government recently allocated 1,100 GBP Crore for road upgrading, the funds must be used to build climate and sustainable infrastructure.
