Bengaluru's Bannerghatta Main Road, notorious for its poor condition, is set to undergo repairs following increasing complaints from residents and commuters. Civic authorities plan to address the damaged stretches and potholes between Dairy Circle and Royal Meenakshi Mall with an estimated budget of ₹3 crore (roughly $360,000 USD). The decision comes after weeks of social media outcry, where users shared images highlighting the road's hazardous state, particularly for two-wheeler riders. Described by many as a 'danger zone,' this stretch is crucial as it connects significant residential and commercial areas, experiencing heavy traffic daily. A senior engineer from the Bengaluru South City Corporation (BSCC) stated that the repairs will be temporary and will not involve full-scale asphalting, as a more comprehensive plan is in the works. The BSCC will issue short-term tenders for the repair work, which is expected to be completed within a month. Meanwhile, Bengaluru Smart Infrastructure Ltd (B-SMILE) is preparing a proposal to white-top the entire road in the future.
