Tannery Road

The Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike started the process of road widening work on Tannery Road. There was a growing demand for the widening of the road which was very narrow. The BBMP persuaded people to give up their properties to ease traffic congestion. Many residents have reportedly agreed to it and voluntarily purchased TDR but there was resistance against this road widening project and the BBMP is persuading them, said BBMP sources.
