Dear Krishna Byre Gowda Sir, Please change the messaging of your communication. The free footpath campaign is not against street vendors but 'encroachers'. This is not rich Vs poor. This is for every common man & family using footpaths on a daily basis. Please act against every institution that is encroaching the footpaths. Private builders are the biggest nuisance. They don't just occupy footpaths but their construction materials overflow from the footpaths onto the road. This is 17th Main Road in HSR. I hope we will see some action here too Bengaluru South City Corporation ಬೆಂ.ದ.ನಗರ ಪಾಲಿಕೆ

We must start valuing our public spaces, else we must stop complaining about Bangalore's quality of life. One of the very few serene roads left in Bangalore with big trees dotting the entire stretch and visible footpaths - Sampige Road. But look at the chaos with vendors and shopkeepers encroaching the footpaths and littering the entire area with garbage. How long will we romanticize poverty and let the city to ruins?! Everyone including builders should be penalized and bulldozed for footpath encroachment. Period. Krishna Byre Gowda

Dear Krishna Byre Gowda Sir, You would have seen the kind of positive response your 'free footpath' campaign has received. It has brought a new hope among Bangaloreans. Let this not be just a one day drive but a sustainable effort to keep our footpaths strictly for pedestrians. I would also urge you to explore pedestrian friendly streets wherever you are building new roads in the city. We have already done this with St Marks Road. We need many more. Also, every constituency must have a dedicated walkable street on the lines of Church Street. This will mean real quality change on the ground beyond headlines. Developed nations have created public spaces for their citizens, Bangalore a world-class city with educated leaders like you at helm too can achieve this

This is a moment of reckoning for Bangaloreans. If we don't support Krishna Byre Gowda now, we will lose any last hope of revival for the city. Bangalore's old charm was about its walkable streets and giant trees dotting the roads on both sides. Today it's a dream to find such footpaths and roads. The only way to make Bengaluru Great Again is to reclaim it's public spaces that has turned into garbage den. For the first time we have a politician not just talking about it but working towards making the city livable with dignity. We all must support unconditionally...

This is how local media is bullying the BBMP officials carrying out their duty as per the law. Now tell me which country has a media that fights in favour of encroachers. Human lives are not only those doing business, but also young and old navigating the deadly roads with chaotic traffic. From school children to elderly, everyone is forced to walk on the road. Media instead of batting for them is busy bullying BBMP officials who are finally doing what they were supposed to do, decades back. The same media that runs prime time shows if a man dies on the road due to accident - denouncing Govt for neglecting Bangalore's infrastructure. Ultimately, we all know, every institution including Media love statusquos. Yet it is those who challenge the status quo in the public interest who earn people's respect. Krishna Byre Gowda Sir, media as usual is busy with their own narrative that can never resonate with the actual problems of people on the ground. People are with you in this endeavor. Please do not succumb to any of these pressures.

This two-minute video captures the reality of #Bengaluru beyond headlines or political narratives of being India’s IT capital. No footpaths. Footpaths taken over by garbage. Abandoned vehicles. Sewage on the streets. Broken roads. Oversized political posters choking already congested roads. The entire area stinks of urine and shit This isn’t a one-off stretch. This is near Banashankari bus stand, a route I take every single evening with my 10-year-old daughter. We proudly call Bengaluru cosmopolitan and people-friendly. But will those words hold meaning for the next generation if this is the reality they grow up seeing? She recently asked me, “Isn’t there a better place in India to move to?” I didn’t have an answer. DK Shivakumar this is not about perception anymore. It’s about lived reality. It makes me cry to see what our city is going through. When will it shake you up?!

Dear Bangalore politicians, Do you ever walk on our streets? Don’t you feel embarrassed by the chaos — the broken footpaths, the garbage-strewn sidewalks, the sheer hostility of our stinking public spaces to anyone on foot? I have no answer for my 9-year-old who keeps asking why other countries are so clean and have open/pedestrian spaces for children to walk without fearing they’ll end up under a vehicle. Don’t you get asked the same by your own children — or by the foreign delegates you host? This is not what a global city looks like. And yet, this is the everyday reality for millions of us in Bangalore This city — once full of charm, tree-lined streets, and a sense of community — is becoming unlivable for the very people who call it home. We don’t need more roads, more concrete, or more flyovers that rip apart our skyline and our spirit. We need a city that lets us WALK with dignity. Please, look beyond political compulsions. Look at the lives being lived on the ground — the elderly who stumble on broken pavements, the children who can’t walk to school safely, and millions of others who can't enjoy the once vibrant and green streets of Bangalore. Your families enjoy world-class pedestrian infrastructure when they travel abroad. Why can’t we have that here? Why must dignity and safety be a privilege? Bangalore deserves better. Its people deserve better. Let us WALK. Let us breathe. Please see how roads outside India focus on pedestrians.
