What the Mall of Asia traffic fiasco says about Bengaluru's civic agencies | The Hindu

For years now, as Bengaluru continues to grow, it has become very evident that often times, there seems to be little to no coordination among civic agencies. Traffic commotion outside a new commercial establishment, BWSSB digging up a newly laid BBMP road, these conflicts keep showing up on the city streets.

One of the recent such examples was the Mall of Asia which opened up on the busy Ballari Road. During Christmas season, the heavy footfall at the mall caused an equally heavy traffic congestion on the service road in front of the mall much to the outrage of several people.
