Nearly a year after the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) started work on revamping the Gandhi Bazaar Main Road, the project is finally nearing completion. According to BBMP officials, the road will be open to the public by October-end.
“We have completed 90 per cent of the work on the stretch. We have ordered special light poles to enhance the aesthetics of the street. The street will be open to the public by the end of October,” said Vinayak Sugur, BBMP Chief Engineer (Projects).
However, the traders on the stretch who suffered a beating owing to a loss of business are unhappy with the BBMP’s works. The BBMP has drastically reduced the width of the road and increased the width of the pedestrian path, they complain.
