They have also sought directions to the authorities to consider the petitioner's representations.</p>.<p>The petitioners said building the skywalk is useless since a skywalk already exists 100 metres away from the Doopanahalli junction.

They noted that the representation went without consideration.</p>.<p>The petitioners also allege that work order for the skywalk has been given to let the structure be used for advertisements to benefit private parties. They also said the skywalk will be a waste of public money if it is allowed to come up in the designated spot.</p>.<p>Moving it closer to the school would help the traffic flow and serve the public also, they noted.</p>
