CM gets taste of city gridlocks

BANGALORE: Chief minister DV Sadananda Gowda got a taste of city's peak hour traffic on Friday morning at KR Puram flyover. When he was on his way to Hoskote, he was invited by local MLA Nandeesh Reddy to look traffic problems near the KR Puram bridge. He wanted to take the CM to the proposed site for widening of the road under the bridge. Around noon, the CM's convoy was stuck in the traffic jam under the bridge.It took at least 15 minutes for security officials to clear the road and move the car on a 200-metre stretch. Sources said that following the incident, plans have been laid to acquire land belonging to the Railways on the same stretch and start widening the road.
