Bikers take muddy shortcuts on B'luru road to escape traffic jam
A viral video from Bengaluru's Panathur-Balagere stretch shows bikers taking muddy, makeshift shortcuts through railway land to escape traffic jams. Ongoing concretisation and civic dig-ups have left the road nearly impassable. Frustrated commuters blame poor planning and delays, while officials urge patience, saying white-topping work must cure properly to ensure long-lasting roads.
