Bengaluru: Frazer Town residents oppose extended length of railway overbridge

Residents of Frazer Town staged a protest on Tuesday to oppose the increased length of the Railway overbridge between Mosque Road and Richards Park.

The overbridge, widely used by the area’s residents, was demolished with the promise of being rebuilt. However, the residents now claim that the authorities have altered the original design.

“The bridge was nearly 80 years old, and it was demolished to construct a stronger one. The Railways initially discussed the plan with us a year ago when the work began. However, they have now modified the plan and nearly doubled the length of the overbridge,” said Saud Dastagir from the Frazer Town Residents’ Welfare Association (FTRWA).
