BENGALURU: As accidents have been taking place frequently on Balagere Road due to its pathetic state, more than 500 residents of Balagere took to the streets to protest on Sunday.
Young, middle-aged, and senior citizens joined the protest. Their placards read: “How many more have to die and suffer?”, “Repair roads or give us a speed boat”, “Proper roads-Good Health”, and “Widen the roads and underpass.. End our suffering”, in order to draw the attention of civic authorities demanding for better civic infrastructure in their locality.
One of the protesters, Shwetha S from Panathur, said, “Its been more than two years and we have been suffering because these roads are in a pathetic state. The entire stretch is muddy as it’s not tarred. The entire stretch gets flooded when it rains and becomes slippery. It is more like a death trap.”
