Here is some good news for all those commuters from HSR Layout who take Begur Road to avoid the congestion at Silk Board junction. Several encroachments by pushcart vendors and shops were removed on Thursday and Friday for ease of access. This was a long-pending drive that was now possible, thanks to the recent visit by Additional Commissioner of Police (Traffic) P Harisekharan.
Expect a wider road with few impediments on Begur Road. While the regular vendors might be absent, they could come back or newer vendors might take their place. Therefore, a continuous vigil by the BBMP officials and traffic police is required to ensure the situation stays this way. Joining them on the Friday drive was Mayor Gangambika herself. We really need such proactive participation from the elected representatives to ease the traffic mess in the city.
