Following multiple accidents on the newly opened Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway following its partial opening before the Dasara season, traffic police have appealed to motorists to be cautious.
Initially, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) had set Dasara season as the deadline for the opening of the entire 117-km expressway. However, it failed to meet the deadline owing to various issues. Several stretches though have been partially opened in a phased manner.
Recently, near Channapatna, an accident involving a private bus and six other vehicles claimed the life of a child.
