Bangalore University (BU) has proposed to lay two roads to keep public transport out of its campus, where a postgraduate student died after being run over by a BMTC bus.
The alternative roads are also meant to reduce accidents. People travelling from Mysuru Road to the Outer Ring Road and Nagarabhavi go via the roads inside the Jnanabharathi campus.
Following the October 10 accident involving the 22-year-old student, Shilpashree, her peers held a massive three-day protest asking varsity authorities to curb public entry into the campus.
The varsity decided to submit a proposal to the state government suggesting two alternative roads, the construction of which would require crores of rupees.
