A LOCALITY NAMED AFTER A POET

R.T Nagar or Rabindranath Tagore Nagar is a residential area in Bangalore North, developed during the 1970s by the Bangalore Development Authority. Once a small colony, R.T. Nagar today is a bustling neighbourhood close to high-profile places like Sadashivnagar and Dollar’s Colony.
