Prolonged delay in executing Road Under Bridge (RUB) work near the Yelahanka Railway Station has left hundreds of citizens in the lurch.
Forced to cross the tracks by foot, especially women, children and elders risk their lives everyday in Yelahanka. The road linking Yelahanka Old Town with Yelahanka New Town is a crucial connecting stretch frequented by many daily.
With Yelahanka emerging as a major railway junction, the station has witnessed fast-paced development over the years. Everyday about 53 trains pass through the station. At times, people wait for long hours to cross the tracks. In fact, the demand for a RUB is as old as 20 years and citizens have been petitioning railway ministers and higher officials since. However, till date, there is no decision on the project, the locals say.
