Giridhama Layout: BBMP makes bad road worse by dumping soil

In the last few months, residents of Giridhama Layout in RR Nagar have been struggling without amenities like better roads, streetlights and drainage.

Residents of ward number 160 said the BBMP failed to respond to several of their complaints on bad roads for over a year. “Navigating the road has become a nightmare even for the pedestrians,” said Joseph Hoover, a local resident.

“The road condition worsens during rainfall. We’ve been begging the RR Nagar, joint commissioner, to level the road, if not asphalt it.” Three joint commissioners have changed since the first complaint was lodged regarding poor road conditions. “Senior citizens and pregnant women have a difficult time due to the poor road. They’ve even suffered injuries,” said another resident.
