Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) will move ahead with its plans to expand the Sankey Tank Bund Road and build a flyover in Malleshwaram amid locals' opposition. The project is needed to alleviate increasing traffic, a BBMP official stated. Locals had hugged trees that were slated to be cut down and staged protests, claiming they weren't consulted about the project.
