I read commonfloor.com/articles Increasing Mall Culture in Bangalore outskirts. What you said is true in the write up, Bangalore city outskirts are sprouting with malls. I personally feel Malleshwaram has more than enough malls and what we need to think is that with coming of new malls, the traffic during peak hours and weekend are sure to irk residents of Malleshwaram.
Traditional market culture are going to fade away in Bangalore very soon. BBMP is now planning to construct a multi purpose commercial complex worth Rs 76.3 crores.
