The tragic death of a 22yo in Bangalore as her car submerged in the rains at KR circle brings us back to the labyrinth that is #bangaloretraffic. Clearly we have it terribly wrong. But where did it start? Why do our underpasses flood? Somebody should ask him - Dr S Subramya 
#Subramanya became the BBMP commissioner in 2007, handpicked by #hdkumaraswamy. Bangalore was growing exponentially. We had shut down HAL and the swanky new Bangalore airport had come up (close to Goa). The Cauvery Junction was pivotal to the smooth flowing traffic to the airport
#subramanya came up with the idea of an underpass which was (rechristened as magic box) at the junction. This was the first of its kind infrastructure experiment in the country. The idea was to make Mekhri Circle a signal free corridor and year was 2008. This was his brainchild.
