Junction improvement project likely to resume only after monsoon
The Hindu
Civic body has completed work only on four of the 35 locations proposed so far
Early last year, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) announced its decision to give a makeover to as many as 35 busy junctions across the city. More than a year later, just four junctions have been improved. The junction improvement works are now likely to be taken up, in a phased manner, only after the monsoon. Civic officials said it was very difficult to take up any development work during the monsoon, as heavy rain would have a direct bearing on the deadlines.More Related News

Bangladesh is witnessing renewed political tension after the killing of Sharif Osman Hadi, a young leader who emerged during the July–August 2024 uprising that led to the removal of Sheikh Hasina. Hadi later headed the radical group Inquilab Mancha and was campaigning ahead of the 2026 parliamentary election when he was shot in Dhaka. His death has triggered protests, diplomatic friction with India, and concerns over rising political violence as Bangladesh heads towards elections under an interim government.
