Citizens get private land for road widening, Nallurhalli traffic to ease in Bengaluru
A traffic bottleneck on Nallurhalli Temple Road in Bengaluru is set to improve after a private landowner permitted the use of a portion of his property for road widening. The initiative, led by the citizen collective Whitefield Rising, involved a crowdfunding campaign that raised Rs 4 lakh to asphalt the newly widened section. The road will remain closed for about two weeks for curing before reopening to traffic, addressing a significant congestion issue for local residents and commuters.
