Kanakapura road’s condition deteriorating
The Kanakapura road’s condition is deteriorating as well as the traffic gives the people in the area nightmares. Once a lush green area, Kanakapura has become a bustling commercial suburb after it became a part of the National Highway 209.
The life of locals in this area and the commuters travelling on this road is miserable due to road full of potholes, obscene amounts of dust and the slow moving traffic. Citizens who are staying in the high rise apartments are the most affected.
The road’s condition is deteriorated since last two and a half years when the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. (BMRCL) began work on the Metro. Raveendra Menon, President of the H.M Tambourine’s Home Owners’ Association, complained to the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) and BMRCL but till now now they have not received any response. None of the authorities are ready to clean up the mess.
Recently, the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) has dug up the road to lay pipes, leaving several drains open which is an add on to the residents woes. Travelling 1.5 kms which hardly takes 10 minutes but now it takes atleast 30 minutes to reach. BMRCL officer, Ravi Prakash, said that they cannot repair the road until the metro work is completed.
