Bengaluru: An 8-year-old boy from Bengaluru has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi about an incomplete flyover that was causing traffic pileups on his way to school. Abhinav Suresh of class III, from Doddabommasandra, Vidyaranyapura, said it takes him 45 minutes to commute to a distance of 3 km from his home to the National Public School in Yeshwanthpur. In his letter, he pointed out that the incomplete flyover over a railway crossing on the Outer Ring Road, near Goraguntepalya junction, was causing traffic jams.
Talking to a media source, the little boy said, “Because of the traffic jam, people's health will suffer and my studies are also affected. I decided to write to the Prime Minister because he is an honourable man and can solve any issue.” Within just two weeks of his letter, he received a response from the PM's Office assuring appropriate action.
Abhinav's parents are extremely proud of their son and were surprised at the response to the letter. “We are so proud of him and we're very glad he took the initiative to write the letter,” Abhinav's mother told reporters. Abhinav is currently busy with his exams, but he is sure that the construction of the bridge will soon be completed. “Definitely within a year,” he said confidently.
