Electronic City to Be Included in Bengaluru’s RMP 2041 Plan;

The PRR is expected to ease traffic congestion and boost infrastructure growth in Bengaluru’s outskirts.
Mango Melas Spread Across Bengaluru ;
The first Mango Mela is now live at Cubbon Park with 50+ stalls offering fresh, farm-sourced produce.

A mini Mango Mela is likely to be held soon in Electronic City, expected between mid-May and early June.

Trucks heading to Hosur / Tamil Nadu currently pass via NICE Road & Nelamangala, adding to congestion.
