Boy mails PMO on incomplete bridge delaying drive to school

An eight-year-old boy did what thousands of harried motorists didn't. Abhinav, a Class III student, wrote a letter to the prime minister's office about the gridlock at a key junction in northwest Bengaluru that's testing the patience of commuters in that area.

The boy takes 45 minutes to commute a distance of 3km from his home to the National Public School in Yeshwanthpur. The boy's family stays in Doddabommasandra, Vidyaranyapura.

Abhinav's letter said an under-construction flyover over a railway crossing on the Outer Ring Road, near Goraguntepalya junction, was causing traffic pileups. The PMO has asked the railways to look into the matter.

The pileup, the letter says, is affecting "not just people's health, but also my studies", adding the project is behind schedule due to a delay in getting sanctions from the defence authorities Source: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com
