Adopt a mile of Bangalore roads: Join this new citizen movement
In this project, citizens and corporates can adopt any mile of the city road and maintain it clean, green and beautiful. According to 93.5 FM, a leading FM station in the city, many Bangaloreans have already expressed willingness to join the initiative. Speaking to the FM station, a youngster gave an amusing reason for his interest in the project, "I am very much ready to adopt a mile of road near my girlfriend's house" !
This initiative is a part of the ‘Namma Bengaluru, Nanna Koduge' (Our Bengaluru, My Contribution) campaign. 'Adopt a mile' projects are already popular in various places in the United States.
