On record
A freshly white-topped 200-metre stretch in HBR Layout's 5th Block deteriorated rapidly soon after completion, with residents citing garage and garbage encroachments, mosquito breeding from poor drainage, missing footpaths, and unfinished stormwater drains that raise fears of monsoon flooding.
The official record states: "A senior BBMP official acknowledged the complaints, saying "all complaints will be addressed and resolved at the earliest," attributing delays to the need for coordination across multiple government agencies."

“Two hundred metres of brand new white-topped road behind the Biodiversity Park, already coming apart at the edges.”
“No footpath, an open stormwater drain, standing water and mosquitoes. The concrete is the only part that was upgraded.”
“Residents were told every complaint would be addressed at the earliest, pending coordination between several agencies. It is early yet.”
