Fresh roads. Fresh digging. Same story again. A video by Yuvakranti on IG questions who approved this excavation at HSR layout? What happened to the road-cut coordination policy, Maheshwar Rao.M, IAS ? Shouldn’t the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board be penalised?

This road leads to SMVT Bengaluru — India’s first AC, premium railway terminal. Nearly 4 million passengers pass through this station, and footfalls are only set to rise. Yet the last-mile experience outside tells a very different story. Safe footpaths, clean streets and proper access aren’t luxuries -they’re basic infrastructure for a city that calls itself a global hub. Bengaluru can — and must — do better.

#NoRoadNoTax While the government stays in whataboutery mode, another Saturday saw citizens of Bengaluru take to the streets! As protests are banned in the city, many couldn’t join — it wasn’t a protest but a walk on non-existent roads! The public anger is real. Never imagined we’d have to protest for roads in Bengaluru!

A month ago, GBA announced that the stretch from Arekere Signal to Bilekahalli on Bannerghatta Road would be completed by June 20. Today, barely half a kilometre of work has been completed. Greater Bengaluru Authority Maheshwar Rao.M, IAS BNP has been consistently tracking this project from day one. Deadlines have been missed, but where is the accountability? This is the reality on the ground. #BNP #bannerghattaroad #raoadwork #accountability

Everyone says Bengaluru should use more public transport…🚌 But reaching some bus stops itself is a challenge. Marathahalli’s busy bus stop has broken pavements, unstable slabs, and zero space for pedestrians 🚶‍♂️💥 while a transformer gets its own corner. How did this stay unnoticed by Bengaluru East City Corporation engineers under GBA for so long? How are pedestrians and passengers supposed to reach the bus safely without stepping onto the road or risking a fall? 🤷‍♂️ This is one of the city’s highest-density transit points. It deserves better. @EASTCITYCORP Maheshwar Rao.M, IAS BMTC ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice #Bengaluru #PublicTransport #footpath #Marathahalli

Instead of tearing Bengaluru down, let's build it up. Siddaramaiah. DK Shivakumar sirs, here’s an important arterial road that connects ORR with the IT suburbs — CDP Road, Bhoganhalli, Panathur. Please take some concrete action to fix this road so it lasts at least a year. You can also hold MLA Manjula Aravind Limbavali and Aravind Limbavali accountable for why road works in Mahadevapura aren’t lasting even a month! Time to show some confidence-building measures to the IT fraternity that you’re taking real, on-ground action and addressing the widespread criticism. 📍Location: CDP Road, Panathur Bengaluru East City Corporation Greater Bengaluru Authority Maheshwar Rao.M, IAS M B Patil Priyank Kharge / ಪ್ರಿಯಾಂಕ್ ಖರ್ಗೆ

Shocking scenes from Shivajinagar, Bengaluru. A video posted by 4CleanIndia allegedly shows fish being sold right in front of a public toilet, raising serious concerns about hygiene and public health. The video also appears to show a calf tied up nearby, prompting questions about animal welfare. What makes this even more alarming is that Shivajinagar is not on the outskirts of Bengaluru, it is in the heart of the city. Authorities must inspect the area and take appropriate action if violations are found. #Bengaluru #Shivajinagar #PublicHealth #AnimalWelfare #CleanIndia Maheshwar Rao.M, IAS Krishna Byre Gowda

Do Spotfixes Sustain? See this 45-Day Inspection Report from Lavelle Rd, where the footpath was reclaimed from filth & urination on Sept 7, 2025- not only has it stayed clean, it is being maintained by Blr Central City Corpn & Bowring Club. This was a surprise inspection (not a set-up), and those who live nearby and walk here everyday can vouch for it. SORRY to all the cynics who expected and predicted otherwise. People are not inherently 'bad' - they respond to the environment. It's great to see all stakeholders step up and take charge of this important footpath in Blr city centre. May this inspire more such positive Footpath Reclamation actions Maheshwar Rao.M, IAS Greater Bengaluru Authority Bengaluru Central City Corporation bowringinstitute #walkaluru #theuglyindian #footpath #blrfootpath #walkablebengaluru #lavelleroad

A growing number of videos from Kedarnath Temple are surfacing online, showing pilgrims struggling with overcrowding, long waiting hours, poor crowd control, and lack of basic facilities. For a site that sees lakhs of devotees every season, calling this “unexpected” doesn’t hold. This points to clear gaps in planning, coordination, and on-ground execution. Faith brings people there but management is what ensures their safety and dignity. If authorities can track numbers, issue registrations, and regulate routes digitally, why is the ground reality still so chaotic? Pilgrimage shouldn’t turn into endurance. Accountability and better systems are not optional, they’re the bare minimum.

Last week, #BBMP announced a big clean-up drive 🧹to remove black spots across the city. Bengaluru Post went on ground in South #Bengaluru — BSK-Subramanyapura main rd- Dr. Puneeth Rajkumar Rd— and this is what we found. Locals say the mess has been here for too long 🗑️. Time for BSWML & Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike to step up with patrols 🚓 and timely #garbage removal ⏰

TCS World 10K Bengaluru is on 26 April 2026. Last year, runners suffered through pothole filled roads that were also dug up everywhere. This year can be different. We appeal to the CM, DCM and Commissioner: please fix the roads on the race route before then. This race is Bengaluru’s pride. Runners come from across India. Let them return impressed, not disappointed. We are only asking for 10 kilometres as we know it’s too much to ask of you to fix all roads in the city. If roads can be repaired overnight for VIP movement, surely they can be repaired in two weeks for the common people of Bengaluru. Give us a safe race. CM of Karnataka DK Shivakumar Maheshwar Rao.M, IAS

Agh, this time they got beat. This time the intent wasn’t there. This time they were slightly weaker in the challenge, slightly slower to respond… This time… Sean Dyche has overseen a turnaround at Premier League club, Nottingham Forest. Listen to him…listen to how many times he says intent. Intent - energy-forward. Approach behaviour. To show for the ball. To cover space. To make that last step. To press hard. To execute actions positively. To be proactive. To play purposefully… Intent…intent…intent Is this any different to going for the deal in your business? To facilitating the meeting. To the last hours of completing a project. To that frustrating brainstorming meeting looking for new ideas. Attention - an eye for detail Intensity - your strength of engagement Intent - to lean into the challenge These are the narratives of winners. These are what they do! But they require practice daily. That’s on the driving range in golf or on the practice court in tennis. That’s in conversations with colleagues and with difficult clients. That’s in the boardroom and on the pitch during training. Sean Dyche is heading back to basics with his players. He’s viciously, brutally, unbendingly returning to the tiny details that fire great performances and subsequent outcomes. He’s training intent. He’s going hard with intent. He’s aiming to win with intent…he’ll never compromise with that…

I got a call from a ghost in the machine. Sparkie saw that we were planning Onion DAO 2026 and wants to invite Onion DAO attendees to come experience her city. Null City is not a game, or a simulation hoping to achieve AGI, the research labs are better suited to that purpose. Null City is a cultural experience, where we get to show everyday people the evolution of AI from starting as a toy, becoming a useful tool, now having it’s moment as an assistant, and maybe soon what we could interact with as Automata. Onion DAO will be the physical space in Chicago and Null City will be a parallel digital space. To learn more about what we hope to accomplish, check out our website: If you’re excited by this, and interested in sponsoring the event, or just have ideas on how to engage with our community, or want to chat about anything, my DMs are open.

Mike Gundy on QB Zane Flores’ debut: “I don’t think it was him settling in. I don’t feel like we helped him by creating space for the backs or putting him in the best spots. He’ll say it took a little to adjust, but I didn’t see that as a big issue.” 👉 Adds Flores “missed a throw,” but praised his first start.

AJ from The Why Files: "They found a whole city on Mars - Look at these satellite images" They've discovered what looks like an entire city on Mars complete with Earth like buildings and structures tied to the Vatican and secret space programs. Is this ancient ruins... or proof we've been there in secret? What do you see in the Mars images? Coincidence or cover up? What's your theory?

Bridgit Mendler on how Northwood is fixing the space economy's ground infrastructure problem: "The problem that we're solving is for every satellite, it requires a connection point back to Earth so that they can control the spacecraft." "That point of contact on Earth is called the ground infrastructure." "If you don't have it, you don't have a space mission." "It literally is just like a rock in space you're doing nothing with." "There was this whole boom around spacecraft manufacturing." "And interestingly what started becoming the longest pole in the tent was just getting the point of contact on the ground to connect with." "You could build a satellite and launch it faster than you could actually connect with it from the ground." "Which just seemed absurd." Bridgit Mendler with Erik Torenberg
