East City Corporation plans to develop 50 km of footpaths in Mahadevapura to enhance pedestrian safety and accessibility.
The East City Corporation on Sunday announced plans to develop 50 km of pedestrian pathways in the Mahadevapura zone within the next two months, following instructions from Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) Chief Commissioner M. Maheshwar Rao.
Mr. Rao, speaking after flagging off a 10-km pedestrian walk from Phoenix Mall to Hope Farm in Whitefield, said footpath development along metro corridors would benefit citizens. He directed officials to remove obstacles, work on road-widening issues, clear encroachments, and ensure pedestrian safety and assured that necessary funds would be provided. The GBA chief encouraged partnerships with corporate organisations to expedite work.
North City Corporation on Sunday launched a week-long “Mega Cleanliness Drive for a Beautiful City” across all seven divisions. The initiative saw 1,823 participants, including members of Residents’ Welfare Associations (RWAs), taking part in 42 ‘plogging’ drives, leading to the clearance of more than 35.60 tonne of waste.
