Bengaluru Residents Oppose ₹13,000-Crore Elevated Corridor Flyover Plans
People in Bengaluru are protesting plans to build 11 elevated roads, or flyovers.
They started an online campaign called “Dear DK, Flyovers Yaake?”
The campaign asks Karnataka Chief Minister D K Shivakumar why more flyovers are needed.
The projects would cost more than ₹13,000 crore.
The protesters believe the flyovers will not solve traffic jams.
They say the roads could instead create new problems for the city.
They are also concerned that recently completed roads may have to be dug up again.
The government is planning to continue with the project despite objections from some experts, according to the campaigners.
Bengaluru residents launched an online campaign opposing 11 proposed elevated corridors.
The projects are estimated to cost more than ₹13,000 crore.
Campaigners argue the flyovers will not ease traffic congestion.
Residents say the proposed alignments could create additional problems across the city.
Construction could require digging up Indiranagar 100 Feet Road, resurfaced about a year ago.
