29 January 2012 - 7:43am — Sanjeev

Rithesh Swamy lives near the Yelahanka Railway Station. Yet, his travel to ITPL is cumbersome as there are no connecting trains till ITPL from Yelahanka during peak office hours.

Another wide footpath sacrificed

These pictures are of the 5th cross, Vth block, Koramangala, the one-way road leading up to the Canara Bank junction.
