• Krishnarajapuram or KR Puram, as it is popularly
  known, is a neighbourhood in Bangalore that is
  well connected by road and rail.
• As National Highway-4 runs through the area, this
  busy arterial road that connects Andhra Pradesh
  and Chennai is always choc-o-bloc with traffic
  any time of the day.
• Another reason for the never-ending traffic here
  is because the Old Madras Road connect with the
  Outer Ring Road near KR Puram railway station.
