Bengaluru: Barely weeks after being tarred, 1st Main Road in Bovipalya, Mahalakshmi Layout, has been dug up again to upgrade the drainage system.
This has cut off connectivity between the main road and adjoining cross roads. The untimely, unplanned work has inconvenienced residents, forcing many to take time-consuming alternative routes.
Vaibhav S, a daily commuter, said, "We now have to take alternative routes just to get around. This is incredibly time-consuming and disrupts our daily schedules."
The excavation has also caused dust pollution, leaving residents worried about health risks. With the monsoon approaching, safety concerns have grown.
Jyothi C, a resident, said, "The dust is causing immense problems for us. It's affecting our health."
A shopkeeper voiced a long-standing grievance. "This is a common problem here in Bengaluru. New roads get dug up soon after they have been tarred," he complained.
