Work on skywalk begins near Esteem Mall

 Almost six months after the grisly mishap at the Esteem Mall killing two people on the spot and leaving many others injured, the BBMP has started the construction of a skywalk for the pedestrians’ safety.

The BBMP had earlier announced that the skywalk may be built on a Build, Own, Operate and Transfer (BOOT) basis by the Columbia Asia Hospital at an estimated cost of Rs 2.6 crore. The work brings a sigh of relief to those who have been demanding a skywalk for pedestrians in the wake of heavy vehicular movement on the stretch.
