has objected to the construction of the road under the railway bridge on the Hasdev River. This has stopped work on the section of the road connecting the Servamangala Temple to the Servamangala Chowk.

The current situation has resulted in significant traffic congestion, particularly at the Servamangala railway crossing where vehicles are forced to wait for extended periods, causing inconvenience to commuters and even affecting emergency services like ambulances. It's also worth noting that the railway department's objection is directed towards the construction of the road under a pre-existing road built by the Municipal Corporation. This pre-existing road was built for pilgrims visiting the Servamangala temple. The railway department had initially objected to the construction of a new road under the railway bridge due to the upcoming railway line construction in the area.
