Citizens convention draws good response

BBMP retired chief engineer Srirangaraju said: “The underpass at Cauvery Junction is the most unscientific engineering structure in the world. If there is any award for the worst engineering structure, then it should go to the Cauvery underpass.”

“The BBMP constructed a small underpass at Sanjaynagar. They realised it was extremely difficult for cars to pass on. They constructed another underpass adjacent to the first one. This shows how unscientific the Palike’s planning is,” he alleged. Theatre personality H G Somashekhar Rao said: We should thank the project. They are just demolishing some buildings. We should be relieved as they not demolish the City itself to build new roads. If trees are chopped off like this, Bangalorean will have to buy oxygen like mineral water in another 10 years.”

Justice MF Saldanha said: “The biggest problem is the City traffic police follow highly unscientific methods while deciding on one ways. They are mainly responsible for congestion on roads.”
