The underpass planned at the T-junction of Haralur Road-Sarjapur Road will become useless within years and will have to be eventually demolished for a proposed metro line, residents’ groups say.
The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has awarded a Rs 23-crore contract for the underpass that would give vehicles coming from Haralur Road a right turn towards Sarjapur. Currently, vehicle users do not have such an option.
But a federation of citizens’ groups — Bellandur Development Forum, Iblur Environs Trust, Kasavanahalli Development Forum, and Bellandur Forum — says the idea is “deeply flawed” and will only bring misery to vehicle users.
