Chief Commissioner of the Greater Bangalore Authority (GBA) M. Maheshwar Rao on Wednesday directed officials to expedite the white-topping work on Dr. Rajkumar Road to ensure completion within the stipulated time. 

Mr. Rao inspected the ongoing work on a 700-m stretch between Navrang Theatre and 10th Cross Junction under the West Corporation limits and issued necessary instructions to engineers and civic staff.

Traffic movement on the section where work is underway has been restricted, with vehicles diverted to the opposite lane. Mr. Rao directed officials to prevent congestion in the area and to implement all necessary safety measures during the course of the work.
