Heavy traffic
We, the dwellers of 6th Main, 1st stage, Kumaraswamy Layout has been suffering because of the heavy traffic. This road, with less than 20 feet,which has now become the approach road to Kumaraswamy Layout, ISRO Layout, Biskaspura, Vasanthavallabhanagar etc is the reason for the misery.
The kids to old people in the residences cannot step out due to fast plying vehicles. The honking sound starts from as early as 5 am and lasts till 11pm. All vehicles except BMTC buses play on this road causing noise and air pollution. Please make this road traffic free as this is a residential area and not a main road or atleast instal high  barriers on either side so the vehicle number will reduce.

South Worst Rly div.
Bangalore East Railway Station is a convenient alighting point for the residents of Kammanahalli, Sevanagar, Banaswadi, Frazer Town, Coxtown & adjacent areas. South Western Railway (SWR) however has not acceded to the various representations made from incoming stoppages of trains, Brindavan, Lalbagh, Intercity, Holiday Specials from Kerala etc. Operational reasons were cited. One ends up paying virtually the train fare to autorickshaws to reach home.

Could SWR confirm when has the train arrived to the dot. Most coaches are one word- horrible. The railway booking counters after Cantontment station are M.G. Road, Indiranagar, K. R. Puram stations. A booking office at Babusapalaya on Ring Road will be helpful for residents of Hennur, Channasandra, Banaswadi, Kalyana Nagar etc.

Formerly we used to read the motto ‘we care’ on boggies. But once SWR was formed it has become- ‘ we don’t care’. Surely the full form of SWR must be- South Worst Railway division.

Bad state of road
The road leading to Kempapura, Hebbal from Bangalore- Bellary highway is completely worn-out and is almost impossible to travel during rainy season.

There are three colleges, many elementary schools and a Coffee-Board Lay-out.

All the commuters have to use only this road for daily work. Each year around April, it is asphalted and tarred on the surface, which lasts only till June! The commuters find it hard to use in rest of the months.
Will the concerned authorities immediately look into this and do the needful?
