Staff Reporter
State plans to create infrastructure at places of public interest in city
BANGALORE: The State Government is planning to create a traffic-free zone in the vicinity of the Vidhana Soudha, from K.R. Circle to Thimmaiah Circle, covering Vikasa Soudha, on all Saturdays and Sundays for facilitating cultural programmes, Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy has said.
Inaugurating the first-ever `Janapada Jaatre,' right on the footsteps of the Vidhana Soudha on Saturday, Mr. Kumaraswamy said the Government would make the Vidhana Soudha open for all, despite security threats.
The very purpose of throwing open the sprawling exterior of the magnificent marble structure and its vicinity for all was also an attempt to neutralise terrorist threats, besides providing a free and comfortable picnic ambience, he said.
