On record
Karnataka government's ambitious 6.7km elevated steel flyover to the airport was cancelled after sustained public protests over tree-felling, cost, and design.
The official record states: "Government "formally scrapped" the project citing public opposition, per state officials."
“The trees won. The DPR invoice did not get the memo.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

Visitor reviews Satire
“Drove the Hebbal stretch at exactly the speed I always did, past exactly the same trees. Best 1,791 crore this city never spent.”
“Asked a traffic constable for directions to the steel flyover and he pointed me, quite correctly, towards a detailed project report.”
“Came to see six kilometres of steel and found a canopy of old trees instead. The consultants were paid either way, so everyone has a souvenir.”
