Here's how social media reacted
''The big question for the area now is - can this incomplete grid be completed, or is too much of the land already built up and it will be difficult to even acquire the space needed for widening and new roads?'' a user wrote.
'' The road connecting HSR to Haralur is illegally taken over by a Sobha Daffodils Apartments leading to daily traffic woes. Then there is Hustlehub which chokes tarffic. No idea how such a huge complex was allowed even though road is narrow?'' a second user wrote.

'' Apart from bad roads, the entire area is heading towards annual floods, solely because of unchecked land fillings by builders, changing the topography and altering the flow of rain water,'' a user frustrate with Bengaluru's infrastructure wrote.
