Bangalore, Overhead Metro Line under construction

In the last ten years, Bangalore has grown from a city of 2.5-3 million people to around 8 million people. It has not been a planned growth and the city has sprawled outwards. The BPO and KPO centers have sprung up all over. There is no modern city as such. The old city is jammed with ad hoc developments and congested transport. The first overhead metro line is under construction and I photographed some of the construction along the MG Road in the heart of the commercial center.
