M. G. Road in Bengaluru to be asphalted this week, brace for traffic snarls in CBD for 15 days

M.G. Road in Bengaluru to undergo asphalting this week, expect traffic snarls for 15 days in the CBD.
Commuters passing through the Central Business District (CBD) of Bengaluru will have to brace for 15 days of traffic snarls as Bengaluru Central City Corporation (BCCC) plans to take up the much-awaited asphalting of M. G. Road from Thursday March 5.
“Preparations are underway to begin the work on March 4 evening,” said Vijayakumar Haridas, Chief Engineer, BCCC.
However, a source in the corporation said that the work might be delayed by a day due to traffic police clearances and on-field preparatory work.
According to the project details accessed by The Hindu, asphalting will be carried out on a 2.2 km stretch between Trinity Circle and Cubbon Park Police Station Circle, with a 15-day deadline to complete the work.
Initial work, including milling, which involves removing the damaged top layer of the road and creating a uniform base for resurfacing, will be taken up in the evenings, after peak hours, to minimise traffic disruption.
An executive engineer from Shantinagar said that the work will be carried out in patches so that even during milling, debris is cleared immediately, ensuring no hindrance to traffic on the next day.

This is complicated: one wants to gently hold this grown tree, one of moderate age, at Karpagambal Nagar in Mylapore by its trunk and give a squeeze of commiseration; or a bear hug that would sap the grief out if it (that pun slipped in unnoticed). Both acts of kindness have been rendered difficult by the very tragedies that warrant this dramatic, physical show of kindness. The tree seems to be taking a disturbingly transverse route in the air. Before going to the second problem, a question. How comfortable would you be if you have outgrown the school uniform, the convocation hat earned by a college education, but not the baby diaper? Under your slick chino trousers that now-anachronistic piece of inner wear, which was meant only for an exigency, continues as if time has stood still. And time seems to have stood still for this tree: it still wears what it had to in its babyhood: the tree guard.
