Similarly, the Karnataka Cabinet has cleared two mega projects to be advanced by Deputy Chief Minister D. K. Shivakumar which would solve traffic and other related urban issues in Bengaluru. The first project is ‘Underground Vehicular Tunnel in Twin Tube Mode’, starting from Esteem Mall in Hebbal and terminating at Silk Board Junction to dismantle traffic congestion in the city. The second project ‘Sky Deck’ 250-feet tall tower has also been approved but the location is pending.
