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.

One Rain Turns Bengaluru Into the ‘Venice of the... East’ But for All the Wrong Reasons Just a single spell of rain, and Bengaluru transforms into the so-called "Venice of the East"—not because of scenic canals, but because of flooded roads, overflowing drains, and knee-deep water in residential areas. Streets are strewn with garbage, culverts are choked, and rainwater has nowhere to go thanks to poorly maintained or completely absent drainage infrastructure. This isn’t an act of nature it’s a man-made disaster fueled by years of negligence and mismanagement by the Maheshwar Rao.M, IAS. Despite countless assurances, the civic body has failed to deliver even the most basic urban services. Stormwater drains remain clogged, sewage lines are outdated, and illegal encroachments continue unchecked under BBMP’s watch. Meanwhile, crores are being spent on PR campaigns and glossy initiatives under the “Brand Bengaluru” banner. But what’s the point of showcasing a tech-savvy, global city when its residents are left wading through filthy water every time it rains? The façade of a world-class city crumbles the moment the skies open up. The reality is clear: unless BBMP prioritizes fundamental infrastructure over optics, “Brand Bengaluru” will remain a hollow tagline. What the city truly needs is accountability, sustainable urban planning, and leadership that listens to its citizen not just more slogans #bangalore #bengaluru #bangalorerains #bengalururains ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು Joint CP, Traffic, Bengaluru DGP KARNATAKA S.

Once again, just 30 minutes of rain has brought... the city to a standstill. This is the condition of Bannerghatta Road on August 28. The drainage system is completely choked, water has no outlet, and the road is filled with potholes, making it dangerous for commuters. Why does the situation remain the same year after year? Despite repeated complaints and promises, no permanent solution has been implemented. Citizens pay their taxes, yet basic infrastructure like proper drainage and well-maintained roads are still missing. How long will people have to suffer because of poor planning and negligence? #bengaluru #bangalore #bbmp #bannerghattaroad @BBMPofficial @BBMPCOMM DK Shivakumar ChristinMathewPhilip S.

The current state of roads in Bangalore, the Silicon... Valley of India, is nothing short of alarming. Despite citizens paying hefty road taxes, the city’s infrastructure, particularly its roads, is riddled with massive potholes and craters, making daily commuting a nightmare. The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), the governing body responsible for maintaining the city's infrastructure, seems to be in a state of perpetual slumber, unable to address this critical issue due to sheer negligence and inefficiency. Is this truly the vision we had for "Brand Bengaluru"? A city that aspires to be a global tech hub, yet struggles with basic road maintenance? Instead of smooth, well-maintained streets that reflect the city's reputation as a leading IT capital, we have roads that resemble the surface of the moon. Such a situation not only tarnishes the city's image but also poses serious safety hazards to its residents, leading to accidents and injuries. The question that arises is: how long will the authorities remain indifferent to the plight of the people? Bengaluru deserves better, and it’s high time that proper accountability and immediate action are enforced to restore the city’s infrastructure to its deserved standard. #bangalore #bengaluru #road ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice @BBMPCOMM ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು Joint CP, Traffic, Bengaluru S.

📍 Vega City, Bannerghatta Road Take a look at... the condition of this road. At first glance, it may appear to be a normal black patch, but in reality, the surface is completely damaged, filled with loose stones, mud, uneven patches, and crater-like potholes. This has turned what should be a safe public road into a serious hazard for commuters. The question every taxpayer is asking is: where is the tax money going? Citizens pay road tax, property tax, fuel tax, and various other charges, yet basic road infrastructure continues to deteriorate. During the rainy season, these roads get flooded and resemble small lakes, making travel dangerous and difficult. When there is no rain, the situation is hardly any better, as loose gravel, broken surfaces, and potholes pose risks to motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians alike. Bengaluru is known as India's technology capital, but many of its roads continue to reflect poor planning, delayed maintenance, and a lack of accountability. Residents are forced to navigate damaged roads every day while infrastructure projects and promises of development continue to dominate headlines. Do the lives and safety of citizens not matter? How many accidents, vehicle damages, and daily inconveniences must people endure before permanent solutions are implemented? Roads are not a luxury they are a basic necessity, and taxpayers deserve infrastructure that is safe, reliable, and maintained throughout the year. #bangalore #bengaluru #bannerghattaroad Greater Bengaluru Authority Maheshwar Rao.M, IAS DK Shivakumar ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು Joint CP, Traffic, Bengaluru alok kumar DGP KARNATAKA ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ Karnataka State Police DGP KARNATAKA S.

"Bengaluru is not only famous for its road traffic... congestion, but today even the runway at Bengaluru Airport experienced a similar situation. A significant number of aircraft were seen queued up, waiting for their turn to take off, creating a rare 'traffic jam' in the airport runway. This unusual sight highlights the increasing air traffic and the bustling activity at Bengaluru Airport, reflecting the city’s rapid growth and its status as a major travel hub. #bangalore #bengaluru #bial BLR Airport ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice S.

Ikkada road undali kada saar...! This is Bengaluru’s Silk... Board after last night’s heavy rain. The entire stretch turned into what looked more like a swimming pool than one of the city’s busiest junctions. Even the newly constructed metro station area was completely waterlogged, raising serious concerns about Bengaluru’s infrastructure and drainage planning. Vehicles were struggling to move through the flooded roads while commuters were left stranded in traffic chaos. Despite massive development projects and ongoing metro construction, the city continues to face the same flooding issues every monsoon. Roads disappearing under water has now become a regular scene in Bengaluru whenever heavy rain hits the city. It is shocking to see such severe waterlogging around a newly built metro corridor that was supposed to improve urban mobility and infrastructure. Citizens are once again questioning how crores are being spent on development while basic drainage problems remain unsolved. Silk Board, already infamous for traffic congestion, now turns into a swimming pool every time it rains heavily. #bangalore #bengaluru #bengalururains #silkboard Maheshwar Rao.M, IAS Greater Bengaluru Authority ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice ನಮ್ಮ ಮೆಟ್ರೋ DK Shivakumar 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.
