About 250 shops encroaching on footpaths around Bengaluru Fort, Bowring Hospital & KR Market were cleared by Central Corporation on August 5 following a Karnataka High Court order, Karnataka Bengaluru Development Minister Krishna Byre Gowda said. According to the minister, metal-fabricated shops had been erected using forged documents allegedly issued by the erstwhile BBMP, blocking the historic fort from public view and leaving little space for pedestrians in one of Bengaluru's busiest commercial areas. "High Court had directed occupants to vacate within 15 days. Authorities carried out the demolition after waiting an additional 20 days, restoring public space around the hospital and market" said Byre Gowda. Greater Bengaluru Authority Maheshwar Rao.M, IAS

The Congress Government claims to have spent nearly ₹5,500 crore on Bengaluru’s roads in the last three years. Yet, potholes continue to dominate our streets and road conditions are only getting worse. Where has this taxpayer’s money gone? I have urged Minister Sri Krishna Byre Gowda to release a White Paper within 30 days, detailing every rupee spent on roads over the last three years, with complete road-by-road and ward-by-ward details of the works executed, contractors involved, officials in charge, and the outcomes achieved. Bengaluru deserves transparency. Taxpayers deserve accountability.

Officials have been directed to identify poor roads, prepare estimates, float short-term tenders and begin work immediately, with a target to complete projects within four to six months. The minister also reviewed Bengaluru’s garbage crisis, directing officials to strictly enforce door-to-door waste collection, mandatory wet-dry waste segregation, GPS tracking of garbage vehicles, and stronger action against littering. A special drive will clear roadside garbage, debris and weeds. He said visible improvements in waste management should be achieved within three to four months through better implementation of the existing system and greater citizen participation Greater Bengaluru Authority Maheshwar Rao.M, IAS

Karnataka Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda strongly came down on his own government machinery and the contractor during an inspection of the ongoing Metro Phase 2B project from Nagawara to Bagalur Cross on Sunday, openly expressing his frustration over prolonged delays, poor execution, and the hardships being imposed on the public.During the inspection, the minister pulled up Metro officials and contractors for incomplete pillars, blocked roads, and footpaths filled with construction debris, which have severely affected traffic flow and pedestrian movement. He ordered the immediate clearance of waste, removal of unnecessary roadblocks, and directed officials to speed up construction work to reduce inconvenience to commuters and residents.Byre Gowda expressed shock that Metro pillars at some locations have remained incomplete for nearly two years. Questioning the lack of accountability and planning, he asked officials why a stretch of road had been shut for over a year with little visible progress. “You shut this stretch a year ago. What have you been doing all this time? Does it take one year just to complete a pile cap? Now you are saying in two months you will do magic. Where is the pillar? I can’t even see it,” he remarked sharply, taking a direct dig at the contractor.He also criticised the irrational blocking of roads, pointing out that construction activity at one location was causing road closures and traffic chaos elsewhere. “If work is happening at Hebbal, then block Hebbal. Why are you closing roads here and troubling people unnecessarily?” he asked, highlighting the lack of coordination and sensitivity towards public suffering.The minister further flagged the pathetic condition of footpaths and service roads, which were clogged with debris and construction waste, making movement extremely difficult and unsafe for pedestrians and motorists. He directed officials to clear the debris immediately and restore access for the public. Acting on his instructions, officials cleared the waste on the spot in his presence. Raising serious concerns over worsening traffic congestion in North Bengaluru, Byre Gowda pointed out that several roads had been blocked without justification, leading to daily traffic snarls and long delays for commuters. He instructed officials to remove avoidable barricades without delay and ensure smoother vehicular movement.Criticising the authorities for testing public patience, the minister stressed that prolonged and poorly managed construction work was unfairly burdening citizens who have been enduring inconvenience for years. He warned officials that delays, lack of planning, and casual execution would not be tolerated any longer, and called for strict accountability and better coordination to ensure Metro works are completed at the earliest. He подчеркed that development cannot come at the cost of endless suffering for the public, and authorities must respect the patience and time of Bengalureans #bangalore #bengaluru #bagalur #yelahanka Krishna Byre Gowda ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice alok kumar DGP KARNATAKA ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ Karnataka State Police S.

How many times should taxpayers pay for the same road ? Just 2–3 months after patchwork was carried out, the asphalt has already deteriorated to the point where it’s difficult to even tell that repairs were done. When we spoke to the engineer, we were informed that the earlier work was carried out by BWSSB, and because of poor quality, a fresh estimate is now being considered to repair the same stretch again. This raises some important questions, not just for one road, one constituency, or one department, but the entire city. If public money has already been spent once, who is accountable when the work fails within a matter of months? Was the restoration inspected before being accepted? Have we our such contractor? Does the contractor have a defect liability period or maintenance obligation, and if so, why should taxpayers pay again instead of enforcing those contractual obligations? How much of Bengaluru’s infrastructure budget is being spent on redoing work that should have lasted much longer? This isn’t about targeting any individual or political party. It’s about demanding transparency, quality, and accountability in the use of PUBLIC funds. Every rupee spent comes from the people. Every failed project deserves EXPLANATION. Every contractor and every department responsible for public works should be held to the same standard. Maheshwar Rao.M, IAS Krishna Byre Gowda Bengaluru deserves roads that last not roads that become recurring EXPENSES every few months. We urge the concerned authorities to clarify: • Who executed the original restoration? • What quality checks were conducted? • Will the contractor be held accountable if the work failed prematurely? • What safeguards are in place to prevent taxpayers from paying twice for the same POOR WORK?

If every taxpayer can be tracked for every rupee he owes the government, why can’t the government show taxpayers where every rupee spent on roads has gone? The Government has admitted at various points that nearly ₹5,500 crore has been spent on Bengaluru’s roads. Citizens have a right to know where this money has gone and what outcomes it has delivered. My demand is simple. Within the next 30 days, the Government must launch a publicly accessible live dashboard for all road infrastructure works in Bengaluru. Every citizen should be able to see: • Which road is being worked on • The cost of the project • The contractor executing it • The officer responsible • The timeline for completion • The maintenance period • The defect liability period • The real-time status of the work This is not a difficult reform. Bengaluru is India’s technology capital. Hundreds of technology professionals would gladly volunteer their expertise to help build such a platform. Transparency creates accountability. Accountability improves quality. Quality builds public trust. ₹5,500 crore later, Bengaluru deserves answers. Build the dashboard. Put every road work online. Let citizens see where their money is going. Krishna Byre Gowda

Two years back, I slipped and fractured my hand because of a broken drain cover around Ulsoor Lake. For many of us a broken and unlivable city is a reality. Traffic. Flooding. Pollution. Broken infrastructure. When I had just about given up on what can change, I found hope. My conversation with Krishna Byre Gowda is not about politics. It is about governance. It is about execution. It is about what happens when someone chooses to solve problems instead of merely talking about them. Whether you live in Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata or any Indian city, this conversation matters. Because if one city can become more liveable, every city can. If you’re a young Indian wondering whether public service can still create real change, watch this. If you’re building India in any way, as a founder, citizen, student, policymaker, or professional, watch this. We spend enough time amplifying what’s broken. It’s time we also amplify people who are trying to build. This is one of the most important conversations I’ve had this year. Watch it. Share it. Let’s make stories of builders go as viral as stories of outrage. Bringing to you “The Nation Builders” Krishna Byre Gowda

VIDEO | Bengaluru: Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on his meeting with Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw and Mohandas Pai says, “I had a meeting yesterday with Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Mr Mohandas Pai, and some other friends, along with my team of officials. They have guided us well. I told them, this is your Bengaluru; you have grown from this city, and you live here. So, please suggest what needs to be done, because no one from Mumbai, Chennai or anywhere else will tweet about or defend Bengaluru. If anything negative comes out from here, it becomes world news. So, I requested them that we must work together, and they have agreed. I will soon have a meeting regarding the Outer Ring Road (ORR), which is very important, more than ten lakh software engineers are working along that corridor. We are preparing a detailed plan for it. I have asked Mr Priyank Kharge and his team to first hold discussions with all the CEOs before the Tech Summit. I will also attend one of those meetings and announce a major programme for the ORR. Time management and transportation are crucial, and metro work is already in progress there. We will address all the related issues. We also want to expand IT spaces around Bengaluru to reduce travel time. We don’t want everything concentrated in one place. While California has around 13 lakh people working in one location, Bengaluru has about 25 lakh software engineers spread across the city. So, we are working on strategies to minimise travel time and improve connectivity.”

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.

“We are VIPs, We Cannot Stand in Queues: KSCA Should Give 5 Tickets to Each MLA and Minister of Karnataka,” says Congress MLA Vijayananda Kashappanavar Bengaluru Congress MLA Vijayananda Kashappanavar has strongly criticized the Karnataka State Cricket Association (#KSCA) for denying tickets to legislators and ministers for the upcoming Indian Premier League (#IPL) matches starting March 28. Speaking to reporters, Kashappanavar said that despite availing government facilities such as security, KSCA has failed to show respect to elected representatives. “They are not issuing tickets to MLAs, ministers, or their families. Instead, they are asking people to book online. We all know how online booking works,it leads to black marketing. Tickets worth ₹5,000 are being sold for ₹35,000,” he alleged. The MLA demanded that at least five tickets be allotted to each legislator along with separate seating arrangements. “We are VIPs; we cannot stand in queues. Last time, we were made to sit in the general gallery with the public. This should not happen again,” he said, adding that the issue has been raised in the Assembly and taken up with the Speaker. Kashappanavar further revealed that the Deputy Chief Minister has assured legislators of resolving the matter by arranging tickets and ensuring proper seating. On the Home Minister’s meeting with KSCA, Kashappanavar dismissed claims of effective guidelines being issued. “There are no proper guidelines. KSCA has become too powerful because IPL matches are happening. They are collecting money and enjoying it. If this continues, we will fight against it,” he warned.

SM Krishna: A personal tribute I woke up today to the news of the passing of Sri SM Krishna, one of the most progressive and visionary former Chief Minister of Karnataka. Though my personal interactions with him have been limited to a few interactions at public events, the loss seemed deeply personal. As I booked tickets to Bengaluru to pay my last respects to the great man, I realised how deeply I was inspired by him in a multitude of ways. Mr. Krishna was the CM of Karnataka when I was in school, when I was first forming my worldview of politics and public life. It was the days when I was contesting my school elections for Head Boy and was tasting action in democracy for the first time. Naturally, as CM, Krishna dominated the newspapers and TV channels and I would follow his interactions with great interest. Also, it was the time when Dr. Rajkumar was abducted by Veerappan and we would have school holidays declared regularly. Many school children of my age, we would watch news with curiosity to know if the CM would declare another holiday. In all those interviews, the CM’s poise, his weighted choice of words and his resoluteness impressed my young mind. This inspired me deeply and drew me to him. The more I followed him, as a young boy interested in politics, the more I wanted to model myself after him. Mr. Krishna was in many respects a leader ahead of his times. At a time when political leaders were deeply influenced by socialism to the point of opposing industrialisation and urbanisation, Krishna was a clear believer in free markets, industrialisation and the need for urbanisation to create mass level prosperity. It was under his leadership that Bengaluru emerged as the country’s IT capital, leveraging its unique educational and human resource capabilities. Most of the now big IT services firms of the country received immense policy support during Krishna’s time. Bengaluru also saw its infrastructure develop rapidly. From the metro to the flyovers to the ring roads to the work on the new airport - all received tremendous attention under SM Krishna. He clearly understood that cities are the engines of growth and prosperity and that they needed to be given the political and financial capital needed. Even to this day, unfortunately, many political leaders and parties do not understand this and continue to ignore our urban development needs. Perhaps, this distance from socialism also had a role in his sartorial choices. While it was expected that political leaders should dress in the modest Khadi and shun flamboyance in an attempt to resonate with the poor masses, Krishna was flamboyant, stylish and savvy. He dressed well, like how the leader of an aspiring global city should. I have never seen him dressed shabbily ever, even in photos from the hospital bed. There was something regal about his appearance. I have googled so many of his pictures to try and buy similar clothes, ties and pocket squares. He is undoubtedly the most stylish politician of Karnataka. Mr. Krishna’s term as CM was not a bed of roses. The abduction of Dr. Rajkumar was one of the most difficult challenges that faced him and the way he handled the issue tactically, coordinating with CM Jayalalitha and also initiating track two dialogues with the forest brigand, and finally ensuring the release of Rajkumar is a lesson for many in crisis management and diplomacy. Unfortunately, the state suffered continuous drought during his CM-ship and despite his best efforts, the farmers crisis across the state remained quite acute and even led to the eventual loss of the Congress Party in the elections. Despite these challenges, his leadership transformed Bengaluru and created tremendous wealth for people of Karnataka. If Karnataka is among the wealthiest states in the country and Bengaluru is the richest city in the country in terms of per capita income, Krishna’s role is significant. While SM Krishna will be remembered for his developmental role, his crisis handling skills and his contribution to modern Bengaluru, he will mostly be loved by Kannadigas for the decency and dignity with which he carried his public life - a value so rare in Indian politics. All his interviews, in both English and Kannada are a treat to watch for his command over the languages and the depth in which he addressed the subjects and importantly for the decency with which he addressed all, including his sharpest rivals. His dignified personal conduct won him many admirers across political divides - even traditional BJP voting families like mine were ardent supporters of Krishna. It was like homecoming when Krishna joined the BJP in 2019, inspired by PM Modi. An ardent connoisseur of arts, Mr. Krishna and his wife Prema were often spotted at the cultural and theatre circuit of Bengaluru. I have seen him and his wife at the Rama Seva Mandali Ramotsava music festival many times. He was in the mould of our Mysuru Maharajas who were not only great patrons of our classical arts, but were passionate connoisseurs themselves. A state’s cultural life gets enriched with such political leaders. Even a year ago, I met Mr. Krishna at a play where we both were guests and I got an opportunity to take his blessings. In many ways, SM Krishna deeply influenced me in my formative days as a young school boy aspiring to get into politics. From his dignified public conduct to his focus on industrialisation and urbanisation to his impeccable sartorial choices - his influence was immense. I was delighted when he joined the BJP just before the 2019 elections and even came to campaign for me. He was not in the best of health then, but despite that, he stood in the heat in the campaign vehicle for more than an hour and even indulged my selfie videos. His support meant a lot to me personally. As we bid farewell to him, those of us in public life must resolve to conduct our politics in his mould - dignified, accommodating, progressive and prosperity creating for our people. I appeal to CM Siddaramaiah and DCM DK Shivakumar to institute an award in Sri SM Krishna’s name to honour those who make a significant contribution to the development of Bengaluru - it will not only inspire many to work for our city but also keep the memory of an inspired life alive. As a proud Kannadiga and a Bengaluru boy, I thank Sri SM Krishna for everything. Go well, Sir.

SM Krishna: A personal tribute I woke up today to the news of the passing of Sri SM Krishna, one of the most progressive and visionary former Chief Minister of Karnataka. Though my personal interactions with him have been limited to a few interactions at public events, the loss seemed deeply personal. As I booked tickets to Bengaluru to pay my last respects to the great man, I realised how deeply I was inspired by him in a multitude of ways. Mr. Krishna was the CM of Karnataka when I was in school, when I was first forming my worldview of politics and public life. It was the days when I was contesting my school elections for Head Boy and was tasting action in democracy for the first time. Naturally, as CM, Krishna dominated the newspapers and TV channels and I would follow his interactions with great interest. Also, it was the time when Dr. Rajkumar was abducted by Veerappan and we would have school holidays declared regularly. Many school children of my age, we would watch news with curiosity to know if the CM would declare another holiday. In all those interviews, the CM’s poise, his weighted choice of words and his resoluteness impressed my young mind. This inspired me deeply and drew me to him. The more I followed him, as a young boy interested in politics, the more I wanted to model myself after him. Mr. Krishna was in many respects a leader ahead of his times. At a time when political leaders were deeply influenced by socialism to the point of opposing industrialisation and urbanisation, Krishna was a clear believer in free markets, industrialisation and the need for urbanisation to create mass level prosperity. It was under his leadership that Bengaluru emerged as the country’s IT capital, leveraging its unique educational and human resource capabilities. Most of the now big IT services firms of the country received immense policy support during Krishna’s time. Bengaluru also saw its infrastructure develop rapidly. From the metro to the flyovers to the ring roads to the work on the new airport - all received tremendous attention under SM Krishna. He clearly understood that cities are the engines of growth and prosperity and that they needed to be given the political and financial capital needed. Even to this day, unfortunately, many political leaders and parties do not understand this and continue to ignore our urban development needs. Perhaps, this distance from socialism also had a role in his sartorial choices. While it was expected that political leaders should dress in the modest Khadi and shun flamboyance in an attempt to resonate with the poor masses, Krishna was flamboyant, stylish and savvy. He dressed well, like how the leader of an aspiring global city should. I have never seen him dressed shabbily ever, even in photos from the hospital bed.

Fun Without Responsibility Is a Curse: Bengaluru Deserves Better Than Drunken Street Chaos This is not the culture of Bengaluru. Do not ruin the image of Namma Bengaluru by turning our roads into places of chaos in the name of parties and New Year celebrations. Seeing youths drunk, falling on the streets, fighting, abusing others, and creating nuisance in public spaces is shameful and unacceptable.Bengaluru has always been known for its culture, civility, and inclusive values. Our city respects and welcomes people from every state and every background who come here to work hard, build their careers, and live peacefully. That openness and mutual respect are what make Bengaluru truly great. However, in the name of celebration, some individuals are ruining this spirit and giving our city a bad image.Celebration does not mean losing self-control. Enjoyment does not give anyone the right to block roads, create fear, disrespect women, damage public property, or disturb others who simply want to live in peace. Such behaviour projects a wrong and ugly image of Bengaluru, not only to locals but also to people across the country and the world. It unfairly puts a bad face on our culture, which has always stood for respect, harmony, and dignity.Those who behave irresponsibly must understand that culture is reflected in conduct, not in loud music, alcohol, or viral videos.

When a government loves the land of a school more than the school itself — understand this clearly, that government isn’t working for you, it’s working for the builders. In the last 10 years, Mumbai has lost 114 Marathi schools, 19 Hindi schools, and 20 Urdu schools — all run by the BMC, the richest civic body in the country! Isn’t it ironic? The same city that proudly showcases the Coastal Road, Atal Setu, and underground metro can’t keep its schools alive for poor children. Behind the glitter of infrastructure lies a dark truth — the land meant for government schools is quietly being handed over to private developers. Towers now stand where kids were meant to study, and those same kids are told not to read out loud because “the rich residents are sleeping.” If this is the state of Marathi-medium education in Mumbai — imagine the fate of children in smaller towns across Maharashtra. Many of you asked me to focus on the state of government schools — so we investigated this issue in depth. The full report is now live on my YouTube channel “Sohit Mishra Official.” Watch it, share it, and let’s talk about the education our children truly deserve. Link:

Because of such arrogant riders Walking in Bengaluru Feels Like a Death Sentence This scooty rider on Thanisandra Road is not just violating traffic rules; he is openly displaying arrogance and a complete lack of civic sense. Riding on a footpath and then defiantly saying, “I will stand here and I won’t move,” shows how casually some people treat public safety in this city. This is not confidence or bravery it is sheer entitlement and disregard for the lives of others who are actually meant to use that space.A footpath is not an alternative road for impatient riders. It exists for pedestrians children walking to school, elderly citizens, women, and people with disabilities who already struggle to survive on Bengaluru’s hostile roads. When riders occupy footpaths, pedestrians are pushed onto fast-moving traffic, turning every short walk into a gamble with death. This selfish behavior directly contributes to the growing number of pedestrian accidents in the city.Bengaluru’s pedestrian safety crisis is real and terrifying. Every year, more than 200 pedestrians lose their lives, and nearly 28 percent of road accident victims are people on foot. Despite these shocking numbers, illegal riding and parking of two-wheelers on footpaths continues unchecked, especially in areas like Thanisandra. This is not ignorance; it is willful lawlessness, enabled by weak enforcement and a mindset that believes rules apply only to others. People like this rider are not harmless rule-breakers. They are part of the reason walking in Bengaluru has become dangerous. Their convenience comes at the cost of someone else’s safety, yet they show no remorse when confronted. Such behavior reflects a deeper problem where violating the law is normalized and respecting pedestrians is seen as optional.If this attitude continues, Bengaluru will remain a city where pedestrians are treated as obstacles rather than citizens. Authorities must stop tolerating such violations and enforce strict action without excuses. Footpaths are not shortcuts, not parking spaces, and not personal property. They are meant for pedestrians, and reclaiming them is no longer a choice it is a necessity to save lives. #bangalore #bengaluru #thanisandra #foothpathdriving Hebbal Traffic Police Station ACP Traffic Northeast ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು Joint CP, Traffic, Bengaluru DCP North-Bengaluru. alok kumar DGP KARNATAKA ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ Karnataka State Police S.

The Pathetic State of Gutkha Spitters in Bengaluru – A Shame on Civic Sense It’s disheartening and utterly shameful to witness the sorry state of the foot overbridge in Whitefield, Bengaluru the one that connects the Kadugodi Bus Stand to the Whitefield Railway Station. A structure built with the intent of easing pedestrian movement and ensuring safety has now become a canvas of disgrace, thanks to a certain section of irresponsible individuals who chew gutkha and mindlessly spit it all over the bridge walls and floors. What should have been a clean, functional public utility now stands defaced with red stains and foul odour, all thanks to the gutkha-spitting menace. The entire stretch of the bridge is littered with spit marks, especially on the sides, as if it were made solely for these shameless acts. It raises a serious question—who is to blame here? The people who consumed and spat gutkha in public without an ounce of civic sense? Or the authorities who built the bridge with good intentions but seemingly failed to enforce cleanliness and maintain discipline? Let’s not mince words the primary blame lies with the gutkha spitters. These individuals, with absolute disregard for public hygiene and basic decency, have turned a public asset into a public toilet. They don’t think twice before leaving behind stains that not only make the place unhygienic but also dangerous, especially during the monsoon when the stairs and paths become slippery. This is not just disrespect to public property—it’s disrespect to the entire community. And while the railway authorities should step up surveillance and maintenance, the core of the problem lies in the lack of responsibility and civic behaviour among the public. No amount of cleaning or rules will help unless people stop treating public spaces as their personal dumping grounds. India is developing, our cities are growing, infrastructure is improving—but what about our mindsets? What’s the point of building metro lines, flyovers, and footbridges if people can’t respect what is given to them? Gutkha spitting isn’t just a dirty habit it’s a public nuisance, a health hazard, and a cultural embarrassment. It's high time we call out this behaviour. People need to be held accountable. Whether it’s through stricter penalties, surveillance, or social shame, we must find ways to put an end to this. Cleanliness is not just the government’s job it’s a collective responsibility. To those who spit gutkha on public infrastructure—you are not rebels, you are not cool, and you’re definitely not helpless victims. You are the problem. And unless this behaviour stops, even the most well-meaning efforts to build a better Bengaluru will continue to be stained both literally and metaphorically. #bangalore #bengaluru #whitefield #bbmp @BBMPCOMM South Western Railway ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice DCP Whitefield Bengaluru ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು Joint CP, Traffic, Bengaluru DGP KARNATAKA S.

Daylight Extortion on Wheels: Puncture Mafia Active Again in Hebbal–Goraguntepalya Stretch The infamous puncture mafia appears to be active once again in Bengaluru, this time targeting commuters on the Hebbal to Goraguntepalya road. A man travelling on this stretch noticed a large number of nails deliberately scattered on the road, especially along the left side. He personally collected several of these nails, which were clearly capable of causing tyre punctures, and showed them in his hand to warn others.This is not an accident or negligence it is a deliberate and dangerous scam aimed at forcing vehicles to suffer punctures so that nearby roadside repair shops can exploit stranded commuters. Such acts not only cause financial loss but also put lives at risk, especially in fast-moving traffic zones where sudden tyre damage can lead to serious accidents.The traveller who shared this warning has strongly advised other motorists, especially two-wheeler riders, to avoid using the left lane on this stretch until the issue is addressed. This area sees heavy daily traffic, and unsuspecting commuters, office-goers, and families are easy targets for this unethical practice. It is deeply concerning that despite repeated incidents over the years, such organised wrongdoing continues openly. Authorities must take strict action, increase patrolling, and conduct surprise checks on tyre repair shops in the vicinity. Citizens are urged to stay alert, drive cautiously, and immediately report any suspicious activity to the traffic police. Awareness is the first line of defence. Please share this information responsibly so more people can avoid falling victim to the puncture mafia and help make Bengaluru’s roads safer for everyone. #bengaluru #bangalore #hebbal #belroad ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice Hebbal Traffic Police Station ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು Joint CP, Traffic, Bengaluru alok kumar DGP KARNATAKA ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ Karnataka State Police S.
