Silk Board has a flyover, double-decker infrastructure, Metro, wide roads and robust bus connectivity. So, what’s happening here now? 🤔 With all this infrastructure, why does the chaos continue? VC : IG/shiva_kumar_3299

Revisited the same spot to understand why vehicles are held up from KR Pura Railway Station all the way to Tin Factory. This is almost an everyday problem, especially during peak hours. Travelled by cab 🚕 this time, unlike last time 🛵. It took nearly 20 minutes to cross a 500-metre stretch. This needs more than a traffic intervention. A major surgery is required, otherwise we may only end up increasing the pain. What do you think is going wrong here? BTW something is happening at Stn. Are they widening road at Rly signal?

As many of us keep asking: why does the City Development Minister have to personally come around to check every issue? What are ward engineers and Commissioners there for? Bengaluru East City Corporation If KRDCL isn’t delivering, fix the accountability or replace the agency and make it public the inefficiency of the agency. Basic issues like desilting, asphalting roads, ensuring clean drains and managing traffic diversions at project site should be handled at the zone/field level, not wait for a ministerial inspection. And if engineers aren’t empowered or qualified to address these issues on the ground, how are they executing works in the first place? The Minister’s frustration is understandable but the real question is why the system needs ministerial intervention for routine work.

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

A genuine question for urban mobility experts. KR Pura–Mahadevapura–Hoodi & further up to Kadugodi has reasonably wide roads, Metro, Suburban Rail and BMTC connectivity. Yet congestion on this stretch remains intense. We spoke to a few regular commuters and, along the way, some auto/cab drivers who use this stretch every day. Their observation was striking: “Traffic has doubled, not reduced. We know what is happening on the ground.” Is that perception or is there something more to it? If this corridor has multiple public transport options and decent road capacity, what is driving the congestion and more importantly, how can traffic actually be managed on this stretch? Would like to hear from urban mobility experts, traffic engineers and people who regularly use this corridor.

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

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.

Why is the launch girder still not being dismantled when almost all spans between Hennur–Kalyan Nagar are complete? Can’t it now be shifted to the critically needed Kempapura–Nagawara stretch and put to work there? ನಮ್ಮ ಮೆಟ್ರೋ, every day matters. 🚇

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?

Despite repeated clearances, the encroachments kept returning at Jayanagar Complex. Several citizens on X continuously highlighted the issue. Today’s surprise enforcement caught many off guard, as authorities carried out another re-encroachment clearance drive. Hope this time it stays clear.

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
