Christmas takes ‘nightmarish’ turn as Bengaluru residents flock to malls: ‘Abandoned vehicles to walk for 3 kms’

Live Mint  

Bengaluru appeared to usher in the Christmas spirit with a visit to the mall on Wednesday — leading to chaos in several parts of the city. Social media users dubbed it a “traffic nightmare”, with many forced to abandon their vehicles and walk for several kilometres to reach Mall of Asia and other hotspots. Repeated warnings and updates shared by the Bengaluru Traffic Police indicate similarly congested scenes prevailed at other venues in the city — including Phoenix VR and Forum malls. The massive outlet also made headlines last year after being asked to close for 15 days around this time because it caused severe traffic congestion.
