'I am not able to describe well the deterioration in traffic
congestion which has befallen the city. I started my career in
Bangalore in 1982, and in those days it was a pristine, green city
with hardly any vehicular traffice. I used to whiz around in my Bajaj
Chetak Scooter, and most of the vehicles on the road were two-
wheelers. The air was pure, and though the parthenium plants were
growing in certain outskirts of the city, it did not have much impact
on the people. People with Asthma used to have some trouble,'
