The Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) is planning a comprehensive makeover of the Central Silk Board Junction after Greater Bengaluru Development Minister Krishna Byre Gowda directed officials to prepare a permanent development plan for the busy traffic hub. He said that the plan should focus on improving traffic movement, pedestrian facilities, and public spaces.

Mr. Gowda issued the directions during an inspection of the junction on Saturday and symbolically launched the ‘Ward One’ campaign by initiating the painting of the flyover pillars. The campaign would be rolled out across 43 wards under the five city corporations. It would focus on improving major junctions and ward-level infrastructure.
