Bangalore Mirror published a story – A bumpy ride to final destination – on July 24 narrating how not only drivers of private ambulance vehicles and BBMP hearse vehicles but also thousands of motorists who commute on this road reach Old Madras Road and other areas.
Earlier, it was very difficult for hearses to reach the Kalpalli Hindu Burial Ground or Christian Burial Ground from Old Madras Road and other areas such as CV Raman Nagar, Kaggadasapura, Krishnaiah Palya, Kasturi Nagar and other areas. With the completion of asphalting of the road between Old Madras Road and the railway track, motorists, especially hearse van drivers, can reach the burial grounds more easily.
