ORR. What kind of drainage cleaning was done? The kind where you scoop it out, and keep it at the side of the road. And which then goes into the drains again. How many crores were “spent”? Silicon Valley road of Bengaluru. Perhaps good to build waterways along with Metro.

Manipur Tragedy As a platform, we rarely comment on issues that are beyond Mahadevapura. Hence we had not yet commented on the Manipur issue. However, if we do not speak out against this heinous crime, we will be failing in our humanity.

Why does Bangalore flood every year? And with every bit of rain? Because BBMP prefers to ignore the solution, or the work. Despite Court Orders.

The Kundalahalli Gate underpass was supposed to solve all the traffic gridlock at this key entrance to Whitefield. But poor overall design - location of bus stops, the two U-turns without added space - continue to bedevil the commuters on a daily basis. @blrcitytraffic

This picture is the joke of the day. It’s estb research that big & more roads will NOT lead to clog free movement. It will lead to more private vehicles on the road. The ORR you see, was the “solution for traffic.” It isn’t. Never was. WE WANT PUBLIC TRANSPORT. NOW.

Yemlur flooding is terrible and sad. Can we have similar focus on the slum colonies of Munnekolal & Kundalahalli that have been destroyed. 1500+ families have lost everything. They all need massive support.

The wait to tar the road was precisely because they were waiting it out. If another agency is going to work on it, or to understand when BWSSB will start digging up. Quickly tar it, so the payment ‘for the work’ will come through. And then the cycle repeats.

Bangalore is among the largest metropolis’ in India. And grew rapidly over the last 20 years. Commensurate with that, the infra & mobility needs of the city has sadly fallen by the side. A good suburban rail network, will do wonders. #ChukuBukuCabinetClearanceBeku
