A boom barrier that blocks vehicular access through a controlled point is one of the several measures being considered at the KR Circle underpass, where a 23-year-old software professional lost her life due to alleged negligence of both the BBMP and the car driver. The boom gate, mostly installed at toll plazas, will be operated by the traffic police whenever the underpass floods.
Bhanurekha, an Infosys staffer, drowned on Sunday after the car she was travelling in with her family got stuck in neck-deep water.
