BANGALORE: Bangalore City Corporation (BCC) has begun demolition works for its road widening project and a park near Johnson market is the first target.

The strip of land lies adjacent to the road and belongs to the BCC.

‘‘The area will be used to widen the road to decongest traffic in the area,’’ BCC horticulture superintendent Narayanaswamy told this website’s newspaper. No trees were felled on this road, he added.

Most residents have welcomed the move. ‘‘It will not cause any inconvenience as the park was hardly used by anyone. It will ease congestion,’’ Nasir, a vendor, said.

Asif, another trader, said ‘‘As long as it does not harm our business, it is a good decision,’’ he said.
