Commute

A road where construction never ends, nor do traffic snarls

November 25, 2016 Amith Subramanian Pallavoor

For years, residents of Banashankari, JP Nagar, and other areas along the Outer Ring Road, as well as commuters on the route, have been suffering due to ill-conceived and continuous construction. Isn’t there a better way to address mobility issues, wonders an anguished citizen.

Environment

Pollution in Bangalore less during monsoons, says KSPCB data

July 10, 2013 Bosky Khanna

Is Bangalore a better place to live in during monsoons? Yes, suggests the data collected by KSPCB. However, in winter and summer, pollution levels are high.

Governance

Illegal construction on CA site?

May 14, 2012 Col C K Seshadri

Encroachment of land or using CA site for unauthorised purposes is not new in bangalore. Yet another such instance, in JP Nagar.

Infrastructure

Beware of BBMP’s broken pavements

June 5, 2011 Karthikeyan Ravikumar

I would have hardly stood on one of the slabs for a few seconds and it broke in the middle in half, taking me into the gutter beneath, with it.

Commute

Underpass chokes footfalls, shops close

September 9, 2009 Supriya Khandekar

Business for many shops south of the 24th Main/15th Cross intersection in JP Nagar has slumped due to construction roadblocks, to add to recent slowdown woes. Some have even closed and moved.

Civic

Drain work submerges quality of life

July 22, 2008 Supriya Khandekar

If a development project on a single road could completely destroy quality of life for residents, it must be this one: BBMP’s project at JP Nagar’s Puttenahalli Main Road.
