Bengaluru West Municipal Corporation Commissioner Dr. Rajendra K.V. has instructed officials to develop and beautify the traffic island at Yeshwantpur Junction to improve traffic flow and public safety.
He conducted a surprise inspection by riding a two-wheeler from Makeri Circle to Manjunath Metro Station. During the visit, he closely observed road conditions, traffic movement, and public infrastructure. He directed officials to repaint the Yeshwantpur flyover, install proper streetlights, and beautify the surrounding areas for better visibility and safety.
Rajendra expressed concern over the poor condition of medians. He noted that many medians in the middle of the road were dirty and neglected. He ordered immediate cleaning and improvement of all medians to ensure a better look and safer roads for commuters.
He also instructed officers to renovate and maintain bus stops properly. He said bus stops must provide comfort and safety to passengers and should not be ignored. Broken shelters and damaged benches should be repaired quickly.
The Commissioner also focused on removing black spots in the area. He ordered officials to identify all garbage dumping points along roads, footpaths and empty sites, and clear them immediately. He directed them to monitor these areas strictly to ensure no new dumping happens.
During the inspection, he noticed blocked drains near the KIA showroom. He instructed officers to carry out complete drainage cleaning and ensure smooth water flow to avoid flooding during rains.
He further ordered officials to remove all illegal footpath encroachments for safe pedestrian movement. He also reviewed road widening work near Yeshwantpur Metro and asked engineers to speed up the project to reduce traffic issues.
Additional Commissioner Digvijay Bodke, Chief Engineer Swayamprabha, Executive Engineer and other officers accompanied him.
The Commissioner said these steps will help improve traffic safety, cleanliness, and city beauty for the benefit of all citizens.
