Bengaluru’s infrastructure of misery
Built at the end of the 90s, Bengalur’s Outer Ring Road was built to connect the city with the main highways and divert heavy vehicles. It was not designed for residential and office traffic. However, most technology companies continued to establish their large offices in the surrounding areas of the ORR, including Whitefield, Sarjapur, Marathahali and Belllandur – which led to increased offices.
