MAR: Approval for road through Sulikere forest
The New Indian Express Bengaluru
|March 13, 2025
A big relief is in store for the public when the Bangalore Development Authority's toll-free Major Arterial Road (MAR) which slices through the Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Layout gets completed as it will reduce the travel time between South and West Bengaluru from 60 minutes to just 10 minutes.
A major step towards this has just been taken as the Forest department has agreed to allow the road to pass through the Sulikere Forest.
The ten-lane road running into 100 metres width will connect Mysuru Road to Magadi Road. It will have six lanes, three in each direction and four service lanes. It is presently signal free, but they would get installed in the future.

'Groundwork key for gender parity'
WHILE the recently introduced labour laws have, for the first time, prohibited gender disparity in the workplace and given statutory backing to the principle of ‘equal pay for equal work’, labour and HR experts say that substantial groundwork is required from employers to make these rules truly implementable. They fear that without adequate logistical and infrastructural support, some of these provisions may end up as mere box-ticking exercises.
