“The trees have started drying out and two are almost dead already. There are around 12 trees on Gandhi Bazaar Main Road that had started wilting due to the whitetopping work as the engineer had poured chemicals on the roots, severely damaging them. They were also cut at multiple points during the construction,” said Guru Prasad, a resident of the area.
A resident stated, “A ‘no entry’ board should be installed at the entrance from Nandi Durga Road. Additionally, a commercial building at the corner with a bank and gym has customers parking two-wheelers on the road, making it challenging for cars from Benson Cross Road to enter Nandi Durga Road.”
A Bengaluru driver played 'Chaiyya Chaiyya' to settle a traffic argument. The driver stayed calm and collected throughout, and even started dancing to the song.
In a Reddit post, a user narrated the experience which the person was a witness to and shared the lesson he learnt from the Bengaluru driver s reaction to the argument, while stuck in traffic.

Nandi Durga Road, residents demand Palike widen the two-metre-wide path
The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has taken up a project to develop and improve the footpaths along Nandi Durga Road. The project covering the one-and-a-half-kilometre stretch is estimated to cost Rs 2 crore.
If the width of the footpath along the compound of
Archbishop’s House is any indication, the civic body is interested in spending the tax-payer’s money but does not care about the welfare of pedestrians as they construct footpaths in the City. The BBMP engineer incharge of this footpath claimed that its width is more than a metre and it is pedestrian-friendly but residents disagree.
