HAL airport at Bangalore to shutdown

With the new airport all set to open in the end of this month, the Government decided to close down the existing HAL airport at Bangalore. This am sure is going to cause discomfort for all the travellers as the new airport is located at Devanahalli and it is very far from the Bangalore city. The travel considering the traffic in Bangalore will take 3 hours by itself. So if someone has to make an international travel he or she has to start 6 hours before the flight time. Phew!
