Bengaluru: For 18 months from Nov 6, 2026, goods vehicles of all categories, including light, medium and heavy vehicles & KSRTC and private buses will be barred from Ballari Road due to BDA's construction of a four-lane elevated corridor between UAS Staff Quarters and Mehkri Circle.
Airport-bound vehicles can take Nagawara-Tannery Road or BEL Circle-Ring Road, while city-bound vehicles can use Nagawara-Bamboo Bazaar-Queens Road or Hebbal Ring Road-Goraguntepalya-Dr Rajkumar Road. @blrcitytraffic

If anyone chooses public transport in Bengaluru, punish them with fare hikes of up to 71% in Metro & 67% in BMTC buses.
Relocate bus shelters away from convenient locations, delay Metro projects & insist on end-to-end double-decker flyovers. Is this how Bengaluru plans to encourage public transport? @CMofKarnataka

BENGALURU IS FUNDING THE PERIPHERY. WHO WILL FIX THE FEEDERS?
Hosa Road and Haralur Road are not insignificant village streets. They are critical urban feeder corridors connecting Sarjapur, HSR Layout, Electronic City and the rapidly expanding southeast Bengaluru neighbourhoods.
For nearly a decade, road widening, connectivity and junction improvements have featured in planning discussions and proposals. Yet implementation remains painfully slow. Peak-hour congestion is choking daily mobility, and the infrastructure deficit is beginning to constrain development itself.
The deeper problem? TDR stuck in paperwork, land acquisition delays, fragmented execution and plans that struggle to reach the ground.
On November 2, the Development Minister acknowledged the lack of transparency and tracking in the paper-based TDR system and ordered digitisation. That admission makes the question even more urgent.
The ₹1,118-crore additional funding announcement for the Peripheral Road may strengthen Bengaluru's regional connectivity. But what about the feeder roads connecting people to that network?
@krishnabgowda sir, you inspected the Sarjapur–Dommasandra–Gunjur–Varthur corridor. When will Hosa Road and Haralur Road get the same focused field inspection and time-bound action?
We need more than another master plan:
- Publish the notified ROW and land-acquisition status.
- Resolve pending TDR cases transparently.
- Upgrade critical junctions and drainage.
- Deliver continuous feeder-road connectivity.
- Publish funded works, responsible agencies and completion timelines.
A peripheral highway cannot rescue a city whose feeder roads are strangled.
Don't let Hosa Road and Haralur Road become another decade-long planning-file success story and a ground-level mobility failure.
PLAN THE NETWORK. UNLOCK THE LAND. BUILD THE FEEDERS.

Monday on the road! Not quite so blue! This morning, 19 of 61 routes reached school after the 7:30 a.m. bell. The typical delay was 4 minutes; the longest, 9. Average ride: 60 minutes.
This evening, only 3 of 61 routes ran behind target—the fewest since 15 October. Average ride: 59 minutes.
Last Friday evening: 24 routes behind target, with an average ride of 79 minutes.
Today: 3 routes behind, with an average ride of 59 minutes.
Same road. A very different evening.
Thank you to everyone working to keep us moving. Better days are possible. Let’s make them the everyday.
And a happy note: our After School Sports schedule resumed today
And I got home in 40 min! Was super happy to see the road at Varthur getting wider
Tomorrow, a new series begins: Behind the Classroom Door—the journeys our teachers make to educate and nurture our future.

Karnataka govt has initiated land acquisition for the integration of Bengaluru Business Corridor (PRR-I) ‘Clover Leaf’ project.
Lands are spread across 12 localities in Bengaluru North, East & South taluks.
The project, originally sanctioned in 2007 as PRR-I, was renamed Bengaluru Business Corridor in July 2024. @CMofKarnataka @lkatheeq
Bengaluru Business Corridor to be completed in 3 years; Packages 2 & 3 to be tendered in Aug

Sir first provide solution to the highest tax playing residents of #doodamara Road Choodasandra. People are confused as to why we are paying the tax. I think may be you need to come down on the roads to understand the problem of common people rather than simply passing the details provided by some bureaucrats. They can never tell you the ground reality as much as people suffering in the respective areas.
We have raised multiple concerns and complaints to our beloved MLA @b_shivanna177 who seems to have ignored us and yes you as well. I am tired of tagging you and @CMofKarnataka as well to no avail. Request you to pls have a look at what Choodasandra doodamara road people are suffering from past 10 odd years. Hope Atlest you see this chat now and action.

Bengaluru cannot afford delays in infra projects such as Carmelaram ROB, Ejipura flyover, and SH-35 road widening & elevated corridor projects. There should be weekly reviews of all delayed projects till they are completed.
@GBA_office @GBAChiefComm @SWRRLY @drmsbc
Over 4 years, the Carmelaram ROB is still pending! .Countless school buses and professionals rely on this crucial stretch every single day. Look at the current situation..@GBA_office @krishnabgowda @PCMohanMP @MALimbavali @VSOMANNA_BJP

Damaged & Destroyed Doodamara — Continued…
Look at the state of Doodamara Road today. It has reached a point where people simply don’t want to travel on it anymore.
@b_shivanna177 @krishnabgowda Enri swmaiii idhu. Kindly take necessary action
And the biggest question is — why should our children suffer because of this? Why should innocent schoolchildren be forced to travel through these horrific roads, dust and potholes every single day?
What have we done to deserve this complete disregard?
We pay taxes. We do our part. Yet what are we getting in return?
A road that is getting worse every single day, while the system continues to look the other way.
Is this what we pay our taxes for? @nsitharaman
A system where ordinary citizens keep paying, while accountability seems to disappear when it comes to delivering basic infrastructure.
Our children deserve safe roads. Doodamara residents deserve better. And we deserve accountability.@narendramodi

@b_shivanna177 @krishnabgowda even after Dasara there is no progress in road work. One day they came with JCB and removed the existing road as well and no where to be found. In next 2 days school will start and is this the infrastructure you want to provide to your citizens. Tax payers money is a joke.

Tax Money & Road Maintenance
If you had ₹20 crores in hand as an MLA, would you build a personal office or fix your neighborhood roads? While thousands of crores are allocated on paper, citizens are left navigating broken roads and zero accountability from elected representatives.
Real problems need real community action to demand what is rightfully ours.

GBA produced bills worth ₹3.5 crore for streetlights in ORR and Bellandur. Then why are the roads still in the dark? @GBAChiefComm @GBA_office

Thank you, @BWCCofficial. 🙏
One small win for the many who wanted the Peenya ORR fixed.
The happiness among daily commuters using this road is hardly surprising. We only played a small, partial role in raising the issue, the real credit goes to everyone who kept pushing for a solution.
One issue at a time. One small win at a time.
