Bengaluru: Bengaluru faces one of its biggest challenges in the form of traffic snarls that severely affect the lives of its residents. Apart from heavy traffic, the poor condition of roads further adds to the woes of people living in India’s Silicon Valley. On Wednesday, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar reviewed the ongoing construction of the Ejipura flyover and inspected multiple road repair projects across the city.
The Deputy Chief Minister said that the state government is committed to ensuring smoother and safer roads in Bengaluru, with focused efforts underway to address potholes and complete key infrastructure works.
“These rounds are not just inspections, they’re a commitment to accountability and on-ground action,” he said, urging citizens to actively report potholes for quicker redressal.
The Deputy Chief Minister also visited Bagaluru in Yelahanka to personally assess road repair and pothole-filling works. Highlighting the use of technology in civic management, he said the Fix My Street app and support from the Bengaluru City Police have enabled authorities to identify trouble spots faster and fix them more efficiently.
