As agencies pass the buck, residents deal with ‘Kambala race’ road

BENGALURU: Frequent falls on the road and constant back pain are daily issues faced by Kanakagiri residents who step out of their homes. The 1.3-km stretch of Banjara Main Road in Kanakagiri, their only connection to Horamavu Main Road, looks like a dirt road, lined throughout with potholes. The recent rain and the consequent slush have compounded their commuting miseries.

This is among the roads dug up by the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board in connection with its ‘110 villages Cauvery water’ project which aims to provide drinking water and sanitary connections to peripheral areas of the city. BWSSB needs to complete the initial works on the roads it has dug up and then hand it over to the BBMP for restoration.
