Corporate Circus on Wheels: Bengaluru Man Joins Teams Call... While Riding Bike Another peak moment from Namma Bengaluru A man was spotted attending a Teams meeting on his phone while riding a two-wheeler — and yes, without wearing a helmet. Only in Bengaluru does the work-from-anywhere culture get taken this literally Balancing a smartphone in one hand and navigating chaotic city roads with the other, this incident highlights the bizarre extremes people go to whether out of pressure, compulsion, or sheer recklessness. With traffic piling up and infrastructure crumbling, it seems even a proper work desk is now a luxury for many. This is not multitasking this is madness. While the BBMP sleeps, roads flood, and traffic crawls, citizens are left juggling corporate life on the streets — literally. And yet, we call it Brand Bengaluru?

Silk Board 2.0? New Flyover Risks Becoming Next Traffic... Hotspot Traffic management in Bengaluru is becoming increasingly difficult despite big infrastructure projects. The recently opened double-decker flyover was expected to ease congestion, but within days, traffic has already started building up again. This raises a serious concern are we actually solving the problem or just shifting it? For years Silk board Junction, has been a symbol of endless traffic. Now, even with new developments, the situation risks repeating itself. If such congestion continues, future plans like tunnel roads could become even more problematic, with the danger of vehicles getting stuck inside enclosed spaces during peak hours. Bengaluru doesn’t just need bigger projects it needs smarter solutions. Improving public transport, enforcing traffic rules, introducing intelligent signal systems, and promoting staggered office hours can make a real difference. Without proper planning and accountability, even the biggest projects will fail, and new roads will only add to the city’s growing traffic crisis. #bangalore #bengaluru #traffic #doubledecker #silkboard ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು Joint CP, Traffic, Bengaluru alok kumar DGP KARNATAKA ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ Karnataka State Police S.

Flight Queue on Kempegowda international airport Runway Gives Passengers... a ‘Traffic Jam’ Déjà Vu Peak Bengaluru moment! After facing endless traffic jams on the city’s roads, now the runway at has started to mirror the same chaos. A long queue of flights was seen lined up one after another, waiting for their turn to take off almost like vehicles stuck at a traffic signal.Passengers onboard even joked and thought it was a “runway traffic jam,” as multiple aircraft were standing still in a line. But in reality, this is not an actual traffic jam it’s a routine holding pattern where flights are cleared for takeoff one after another.Still, the sight of planes piling up on the runway perfectly captures the “Peak Bengaluru” vibe where traffic seems to follow you, whether you’re on the road or in the sky #bengaluru #bangalore #kempegowdairport #bangaloreairport BLR Airport ATC Blog ✈ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು Joint CP, Traffic, Bengaluru alok kumar DGP KARNATAKA ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ Karnataka State Police S.

Bengaluru Metro’s infrastructure is so vast and widespread that... it presents a golden opportunity for large-scale rainwater harvesting. The pillars, stations, tracks, and roofing systems span across the entire city ideal for capturing rainwater and putting it to meaningful use. But sadly, like most things under Maheshwar Rao.M, IAS and the current administration, this opportunity is being completely wasted. Instead of utilizing this extensive setup to address the city’s water crisis or contribute to sustainable urban development, the rainwater is simply allowed to drain away flooding roads, overflowing drains, and creating chaos for citizens. It’s both ironic and frustrating that in a city plagued by water shortages in the summer and waterlogging in the monsoon, our leaders still haven’t figured out how to harvest rain effectively. One would think that under the much-hyped “Brand Bengaluru” campaign and with DK Shivakumar repeatedly promising better urban infrastructure, such basic ideas would already be in place. But once again, promises are high, delivery is zero. Tushar Giri Nath, IAS continues to be reactive instead of proactive, and the government is too busy with PR to care about real, on-ground solutions. Why hasn't a city like Bengaluru with the talent, resources, and technology implemented rainwater harvesting in metro infrastructure? Where is the vision? Or is the idea of sustainable planning just another fancy headline for election speeches? Until our leaders stop sleeping on these obvious solutions, Bengaluru will continue to swing between drought and flood with no end in sight.

Jeevan Bima Nagar is completely submerged, with roads resembling... rivers in what is supposed to be a modern, developed city. And this disastrous flooding is the result of just 30 minutes of rain! If a short spell can bring Bengaluru to its knees, what will happen during the full-fledged monsoon season when it rains daily? This is the harsh reality of Bengaluru’s failing infrastructure, a result of years of negligence, mismanagement, and corruption by the Maheshwar Rao.M, IAS and the Karnataka government. Despite collecting massive amounts in taxes, basic drainage systems remain broken, roads crumble at the slightest downpour, and citizens are left to wade through flooded streets. Instead of focusing on real infrastructure issues, DK Shivakumar and the Congress-led government are busy with PR gimmicks under the so-called ‘Brand Bengaluru’ initiative. But where is the development? Where are the world-class roads and drainage systems they promised? Bengaluru, the Silicon Valley of India, is turning into a sinking city due to their inefficiency. It’s time the government stops making empty promises and starts delivering real solutions before the city becomes completely unlivable. #bangalore #bengalururains #bangalorerains #bengaluru ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು Joint CP, Traffic, Bengaluru DGP KARNATAKA Maheshwar Rao.M, IAS DK Shivakumar DGP KARNATAKA S.

Hate in the Heart of Bengaluru: Hotel GS Suites... Publicly Abuses Kannadigas How can a hotel in Bengaluru openly display abusive language against Kannadigas on an LED screen? This happened at Hotel GS Suites in Koramangala, right in the heart of Karnataka’s capital. It’s absolutely shameful and outrageous that a community is being insulted in its own state like this. The hotel owner’s actions are not just irresponsible they are deeply offensive and divisive. Allowing such language to be displayed publicly shows a complete lack of respect for the people of Karnataka and their culture. This isn’t just a mistake; it’s a deliberate provocation. Strict action must be taken immediately. Authorities should seal the hotel and ensure the owner faces legal consequences. If we stay silent now, it sets a dangerous precedent for more such disrespect in the future. Kannadigas deserve respect in their own land.

Brand Bengaluru or Drowned Bengaluru? BBMP Sleeps While Citizens... Swim Through Neglect The infrastructure of Bengaluru has been deteriorating at an alarming rate, and the primary culprit behind this urban decay is the utter negligence and mismanagement by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike Despite being one of India’s top tax-paying cities and a global technology hub, Bengaluru comes to a standstill every time it rains. Roads are flooded, traffic is paralyzed, and citizens are left stranded resembling more of a sinking Venice than a thriving metropolis. Take Electronic City, for instance one of the country’s premier IT corridors. Even there, basic infrastructure like proper drainage, road maintenance, and flood management is missing. Waterlogging has become a norm rather than an exception. The situation raises a very serious question: Why is the BBMP still asleep at the wheel? Are the crores collected from honest taxpayers being used only to fund lavish 'biryani meetings' and political photo-ops? And what about Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, who has time and again promised to make Bengaluru a "Brand City"? Is this the "Brand Bengaluru" the government is so proud of a city where tech parks are surrounded by potholes, and one hour of rain turns roads into rivers? It is shocking that despite having access to funds, technology, and manpower, the civic authorities have failed so miserably. Corruption, complacency, and lack of accountability have become the hallmarks of BBMP's functioning. Bengaluru deserves better. Its citizens deserve better. The government must remember that slogans and PR campaigns cannot replace action on the ground. Until the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike Maheshwar Rao.M, IAS and state leadership, including DK Shivakumar, stop treating the city like their personal fiefdom and start delivering real, measurable outcomes, Brand Bengaluru will remain nothing more than a broken promise drowned in the city’s flooded street #bangalore #bengaluru #electroniccity Maheshwar Rao.M, IAS Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike BWSSB DK Shivakumar ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು Joint CP, Traffic, Bengaluru alok kumar DGP KARNATAKA ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ Karnataka State Police S.

Brand Bengaluru’ or Off-Road Adventure? Residents Slam Authorities Over... Broken Roads At Hosa Road, near Rayasandra Circle, right in front of Mahaveer Ranches, the condition of the road has been appalling for over a month now. The entire stretch is completely broken, riddled with deep potholes, muddy patches, and craters big enough to swallow a scooter. For residents, office-goers, school buses and even ambulances, this has turned into a daily obstacle course rather than a public road. We keep hearing tall claims about “Brand Bengaluru” and the city’s transformation under the current leadership, yet basic infrastructure like roads continues to remain neglected for weeks at a time. Despite repeated complaints from citizens, no visible action has been taken to repair this stretch or even to provide a temporary fix to prevent further deterioration. It’s understandable that infrastructure projects take time, but leaving a key connecting road in this state for more than a months shows a serious gap between promises and ground reality. Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and the civic authorities often talk about turning Bengaluru into a world-class city perhaps they could start by ensuring at least a drivable road for its taxpayers. “Brand Bengaluru,” really? If this is what branding looks like, maybe we should start advertising it as an off-road adventure park or a free test track for SUVs. #bangalore #bengaluru #roads #hosaroad Maheshwar Rao.M, IAS @GBAoffic @bbmpoffic DK Shivakumar Siddaramaiah P C Mohan Tejasvi Surya Prathap Simha Shobha Karandlaje ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice Joint CP, Traffic, Bengaluru CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು DGP KARNATAKA S.

The traffic situation in Bengaluru has reached a point... that is nothing short of insane. It seems almost as if traffic jams are being created humanly, simply due to ignorance and lack of traffic sense. One recurring problem is the behavior of the 500CA buses near Jeevika Hospital, where frequent U-turns disrupt the flow of traffic, causing unnecessary congestion on an already busy stretch. A practical solution would be to stop these buses from making U-turns at Jeevika Hospital and instead divert them via the service road onto the Marathahalli bridge, continuing towards Kunhalli. Such a small change in traffic management could significantly reduce jams, improve commuter experience, and make daily travel less stressful for thousands of motorists. It’s high time that small yet effective measures like this are implemented to restore some sanity to Bengaluru’s roads. #bangalore #bengaluru #orr #marathahalli Greater Bengaluru Authority Maheshwar Rao.M, IAS ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು Joint CP, Traffic, Bengaluru alok kumar DGP KARNATAKA ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ Karnataka State Police S.
