Bengaluru Residents Honor Advocate with Road Naming
In Bengaluru, people from a neighborhood called Kasturi Layout named a road after a lawyer named Ramesh Chandra.
He helped them for 20 years to get access to this road.
Two developers, who are also local politicians, blocked the road in 2006, making it hard for over 450 people to get home.
The road connects two areas, Laggere and Rajgopal Nagar.
The residents decided to name the road after Ramesh Chandra to thank him for his hard work.
Residents of Kasturi Layout named a road after advocate Ramesh Chandra for his 20-year legal battle.
The road, connecting Laggere and Rajgopal Nagar, was blocked by two developers in 2006.

The road is now officially known as Ramesh Chandra Hebri Road.
