Traders and residents of Malleswaram have called for Malleswaram bundh on Friday to protest the proposed underpass and grade separator near K C General Hospital.

Over 500 people under the banner of Malleswaram Citizens Forum and Traders Association held a protest near Sampige Road on Thursday demanding the government to reconsider the project. The protesters alleged that the proposed underpass near KC General Hospital and Mahakavi Kuvempu Road was unscientific and would add to the already existing chaos.

According to Jagannath, member of the Citizens Forum, the government had not considered the reduction in the volume of the traffic after the construction of grade separators at Rajajinagar West of Cord Road and Rajkumar Road.

The proposed grade separator and underpass were just a waste of money, he alleged.
