Street talk 🗣️ in Bengaluru is that enforcement shouldn’t stop with small encroachments. If larger brands, malls, darshinis, cafés and office complexes have extended onto footpaths or are using them for parking or business, the same rules must apply. No exceptions. Repeat violations should invite stringent penalties, and where permitted under the law, authorities should consider action against licences or utility connections. A great step towards making Bengaluru safer for all but enforcement must be fair, consistent and without exceptions. Krishna Byre Gowda Maheshwar Rao.M, IAS

Probably the first of its kind in India. An unofficial BMTC bus stop on a flyover at Manyata, complete with a dedicated lane for those to walk on the flyover. So if you are driving, be careful. A BMTC bus may suddenly stop in front of you. If you are a passenger, be careful. Vehicles may be cruising past while you board or deboard. Innovation or disaster? We think it’s a shortcut for Disaster. ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice Joint CP, Traffic, Bengaluru Is this officially recognised as a bus stop on a flyover? If yes, thanks for redefining road safety.

The roads in Manyata tech park on the ORR #Bengaluru is under water. With rains continuing without a break from 3 am, expect more flooding in and around this area. #BengaluruRains

With expectations building around the Blue Line Metro, the big question remains: can the project meet its revised timelines? The Nagawara–Hebbal stretch continues to raise concerns again. During our ground visit, engineers at site who did not wish to be quoted pointed to multiple challenges including utility shifting, traffic management issues, design revisions, delays and labour shortages. Progress appears particularly slow at Kempapura while activity remains limited at some locations between Veeranapalya-Nagawara. Given the strategic importance of this corridor, perhaps it is time for ನಮ್ಮ ಮೆಟ್ರೋ to undertake a closer review of what is holding back Package 1 and provide commuters with a realistic timeline. To us, Package 1 appears to be the most delayed section of the Blue Line. In hindsight, should this package have been split into smaller contracts to avoid bottlenecks? #BlueLineMetro #NammaMetro #BengaluruMetro #BMRCL #Bengaluru

Good morning #Bengaluru 🌤️ Passing through the newly opened Kamaraj Road—closed for years—felt like a breeze. 🛣️ Traffic has eased a bit. Slowly, the city feels like it’s unlocking again, at least in the CBD after many years. Have you driven through it yet?

BMTC drivers need serious training 🚍 Stopping buses in the middle of the road — not at the bus stop — forces passengers to run & board dangerously. 📍 Vasanth Nagar BMTC what’s the point of bus stops if not used? Can ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice enforce strict fines? ⚠️

Ok #Bengaluru, good morning 🥶 Here’s your ground report from #Hebbal — work is progressing FAST. The 2nd and 3rd girders have now been installed, a major milestone that pushes the project into its final stages. Up next on-site: • Shuttering work – the mould that shapes the structure • RCC slab laying – this becomes the actual road surface • Final finishing & safety checks At the pace we’re seeing, the loop looks just weeks away from opening. Our guesstimate? Christmas 🎁 -what do you think? #BengaluruPost #HebbalUpdate

Pathetic civic sense or poor civic management? People dump garbage at road corners while driving, and the city corporation doesn’t act as it should. Something has to change. @EASTCITYCORP 📍 ORR, Kalyannagar PC : IG/Prithvi Parthban

Silk Board battered. BMTC passengers offloaded mid-traffic. With rains already hitting parts of the city, it may take 2–3 days for water to recede. Lakes are full. So are drains. If it rains tonight, God help #Bengaluru. #BengaluruRains #SilkBoard

CBD or not, it’s just another day for Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board & Kingroyal Giriş while commuters struggle. Vittal Mallya Road—B’luru’s so-called hi-fly zone—has been dealing with overflowing chambers for over a month! A nearby watchman said it’s been like this, but BWSSB still hasn’t noticed? 🤷‍♂️

Consumers who fill petrol or diesel should be cautious and check the meter reading carefully.⛽️ At the Indian Oil Corp Ltd petrol pump — Lakshmamma & Sons, Devegowda Road, RT Nagar, Bengaluru — our cameraman and several customers noticed irregularities while refueling. During the filling process, the meter showed variations of 4, 5, 6, 10, or even 15 ml or more, differing with the amount filled by each consumer. Several consumers questioned the staff, leading to arguments. The manager claimed it was due to gun “calibration” issues. A complaint has been raised with IOCL Bengaluru, and a firm reply is awaited. But how can calibration keep changing for every fill? Is this normal or something amiss? Many consumers have noticed this — have you too? #Bengaluru #IOCL #PetrolPump #RTNagar #ConsumerAlert
