As a tribute to late Kannada superstar Puneeth Rajkumar whose sudden demise due to a heart attack had left fans and family in shock last year, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has announced to name a 12-kilometre stretch of the Outer Ring Road (ORR) between Nayandahalli Junction and Vega City Mall Junction on Bannerghatta Road to be named after him.

The road will be called Sri Puneeth Rajkumar Road.

The BBMP had sought objections in the matter in December. "The public had 30 days to file objections. In these 30 days, eight residents welfare associations (RWAs) with as many as 700 members submitted a signed approval for the proposal," reports deccanherald.com.

The civic administrator has accepted the proposal. Now it needs approval from the state government.
