00:46It is the length of 288 km, ring road Bangalore, 243 km in Karnataka and 45 km in Tamil Nadu.

00:58The cost of this project is 17,000 crores, out of which 288 km, 136 km has been awarded

01:07at the cost of 6,000 crores and 53 km has been already completed.

01:15This corridor is designed for a speed of 100 km per hour, boosting the speed of freight

01:20movement and increasing the traffic handling capacity.

01:23So we will make double-decker flyovers and that is going to be useful for the future.

01:28It will provide safe movement of commercial vehicle and at the same time it is going to

01:34reduce the logistic cost, it is going to reduce the fuel, at the same time it is going to

01:40reduce the pollution and traffic jam in Bangalore.

02:55they can develop Mysore and a satellite township by which the Bangalore may be decongest.
