KR Puram railway bridge traffic bottleneck on the way towards ITPL in Bangalore has seen some surprising improvements in the last month. What used to take 15 minutes for a 1km stretch can now be crossed in less than 5 minutes in peak traffic. This is the best I have seen at this stretch in the last 12 years (from the time before the bridge was constructed).
I heard the local MLA of KR Puram met the Railway General Manager with about 1000 of his supporters to convince the GM of the need to release some Railway land to ease traffic. Naturally, I don't support such a show of unnecessary strength to convince a bureaucrat in the service of the country but I don't have many other instances when a local politician uses his muscle power for public good.
Now MLA Anna if you contest against the other Anna you will have my one vote for achieving this goal.
I read an article in Deccan Herald that the local police are aware of the problem at the mouth of the bridge near the temple and the issue related to the traffic on the way into the city from ITPL via K.R. Puram. I would like to add that traffic can be smoothened if the pedestrians are provided a better crossing path, more secure and less hinder some to the traffic.
If you do that and get the papers to write about it. With Gowda and Yeddy fighting, you may get the Gaddi too. Who knows?
