Jalahalli Cross underpass stalled since planning six years ago due to land acquisition and compensation issues. Kanteerava Studio Junction underpass stalled nine years, work recently resumed. Jalahalli Cross connects Bengaluru-Mangaluru and Tumakuru highways, major traffic bottleneck with daily congestion from thousands of buses and heavy vehicles; eight traffic police officers insufficient to manage flow. Junction split between two assembly constituencies (Dasarahalli and Rajarajeshwari Nagar) complicating administration. Infrastructure poor: broken footpaths, open drains, waste dumping. Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar announced ₹139 crore compensation allocated for landowners; ₹85 crore paid to 48 owners, ₹53 crore remaining. Delay due to property owners refusing Transferable Development Rights compensation. Kanteerava underpass needs 20,000 sq. m across 43 private properties; settled with all but 12 owners, 11 of 12 have agreed, one property in court litigation. BDA targeting mid-2026 completion for Kanteerava project. Jalahalli Road recently asphalted.

Bengaluru Development Minister Krishna Byre Gowda laid the foundation stone for a Rs 75-crore, 125-bed government hospital at Bellahalli in Yelahanka taluk. The three-floor building will offer specialised medical services; two additional floors are planned to raise capacity to 250 beds. Two acres behind the hospital are earmarked for a future super-speciality block.

A second 125-bed hospital, also estimated at Rs 75 crore, is planned at Animal Husbandry and Agriculture Department premises in the Hebbal Assembly constituency. The facilities aim to address a healthcare gap in Byatarayanapura constituency, which spans from MS Ramaiah College and Ring Road to the Narayanapura border and Kempegowda International Airport, across Yelahanka and KR Puram taluks.

A 60-bed Greater Bengaluru Authority hospital at Singapura is complete and ready for inauguration. Health Minister UT Khader, MLA Dinesh Gundu Rao, public representatives and officials attended.
