Ramamurthy said that Bannerghatta Road would be widened by 11.5 km to facilitate smoother movement of vehicles from Hosur Road-Lashkar Road junction up to Gottigere. "Tannery Road, Mission Road, Devanga Hostel Road, Kacharakanahalli Road along with Halagevaderahalli Road in Rajarajeshwarinagar limits are the other five roads which will widened," he said
However, when questioned about the apprehensions of the residents and environmentalists,Ramamurthy clarified that there were very few trees on the stretches. "In fact, many residents have agreed for TDR
