Infantry Road
Street in Bangalore, India From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bhagwan Mahaveer Jain Road, commonly known as Infantry Road, is a 1.6-kilometer long one-way street in Bangalore's Central Business District. It connects Raj Bhavan with Commercial Street, and houses commercial, educational and administrative properties.[1]
The street was home to military activities of the foot soldiers of the British Raj in the 19th century, deriving its name from the nearby military barracks.[1] The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) officially renamed the street "Bhagwan Mahaveer Jain Road" in 2004.[2]
