The space under Carmelaram Railway Bridge on Sarjapur Road has been renovated into a recreational arena under the ‘Adopt-a-Flyover’ programme by BBMP. It was opened on June 30.
Called Chaturanga Mandapa, the space under the flyover had been neglected and turned into a garbage dumping ground. After being cleaned up, the space now houses chess boards, a seating area and air purifying plants. The footpaths and walkways have been made by re-using old paver blocks removed from Ring Road, Koramangala. Discarded plastic and metal items were recycled for the decorative chess pieces.
The space has been remodelled as a part of corporate social responsibilty by L&T Technology Services and has been designed by Aniruddha Abhyankar. It is located opposite RGA Tech Park.
