What does it take for the authorities to just asphalt a road?? @BWCCofficial @krishnabgowda
#Bengaluru’s potholes have gone underground! After a Public TV reporter sat inside a massive cavity on Kanteerava Studio Main Road (ORR) to highlight the danger, civic officials & traffic police swung into action. The fix? Dump some debris into the “natural tunnel”. Problem solved or buried? (📹 by TOI Syed Asif)

#Bengaluru Development minister Krishna Byre Gowda, while inspecting #Varthur Road, asked the same question that motorists ask: Why is the road not being expanded & made motorable? When thick-skinned KRIDL officials had no answer, the minister pleaded respectfully👇 @timesofindia

Dear @b_shivanna177 avare, Hope you have read today's Times of India? ANOTHER REPORT. SAME SHAME. SAME SILENCE. Your #Anekal constituency is once again in the news, this time for the shocking state of Doddamara Road in Rayasandra. Nearly a decade of suffering. 30+ representations. Countless complaints. Zero assurances. And still craters, waterlogging and a road unfit for citizens. Even more telling: when Times of India @TOIBengaluru sought your response, there was no response. Doddamara. Rayasandra. Ghattahalli. These are not forgotten villages. Thousands of residents, schoolchildren, employees and daily commuters depend on these roads every single day. How many more reports do citizens have to generate before you generate some action? And where is the accountability from the higher leadership, @DKShivakumar? Seriously, very honest question is why your high command never insist or command you to do your work to your people living in your own #anekal constituency. Shivanna avare, come to Doddamara. Walk the road. Face the citizens. See the reality yourself. We don't need another promise. Thank you @Hamsaa04 for this wonderful ground report. WE NEED A NEW ROAD NOW. @kiranshaw @TVMohandasPai @ChristinMP_ @CitizenPulseX @bengalurupost1 @anil_lulla @publictvnews @tv9kannada @AsianetNewsSN @gopinathkarangu @vikasbanglore @srikanthn1975 @reethu_journo @chandanadn2003 @CivicOp_india @Dr_Yathindra_S @ShantipuraP @RLR_BTM @Vidyashilp_ #Anekal #Doddamara #Rayasandra #Ghattahalli #FixOurRoads #BetterRoads #BengaluruRoads

Hundreds of school-children commuting along the Varthur-Gunjur stretch of SH-35 endured a harrowing Thursday as severe traffic congestion delayed school buses by up to 40 minutes in the morning and left students stranded on roads for hours while returning home. A 4km drive took 2.5 hours, stuck mostly in traffic.

Starting today, I'm writing a weekly opinion column titled #Parallax for @timesofindia. The first one, "The Trouble With Getting Used To Miracles", deals with why we must remain curious, ask questions and verify. Scientific temper isn't a luxury! Link: shorturl.at/KR28J

No more neglected vacant sites in #Bengaluru. CM @DKShivakumar has warned that BDA or corporation-allotted plots can’t remain vacant. Owners fail to maintain sites & build a small house within 5 years will face double tax, with the govt prepared to take back the site if violations continue.

"Let's start the project. We can count the trees later." That seems to be the approach at Hebbal short tunnel site. Work has begun even as the survey of how many trees will be cut or transplanted is still incomplete. The current estimate is that around 540 trees could be affected

#Bengaluru Development Minister Krishna. Byre Gowda has sought an increase in penalty for those caught riding or driving on the footpath to Rs 5000 from the current Rs 500. Will hefty penalties help Bengaluru overcome the menace of footpath-riding? @timesofindia
