Interesting how the TV script changes. When footpaths are encroached: “Why are pedestrians forced onto the roads? Why so many accidents?” When authorities remove encroachments: “Why this action?” You can’t demand safe, walkable footpaths and oppose every enforcement drive that makes them possible. Footpaths are for pedestrians. Period.

🚶‍♂️ Bengaluru doesn’t walk. Not because people don’t want to, but because the city makes it impossible! 🚧💔 On one side, we have wide, beautiful TenderSURE footpaths. On the other, broken, encroached & missing footpaths force people onto dangerous roads. Why this imbalance? Most Bengalureans jog/walk in parks, but what if our streets were walkable too? Why should walking feel like a life-or-death decision? It’s time for Kingroyal Giriş , DULT & MLAs to prioritize footpaths over roads! 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ 📢 Tag your MLA & demand clean, safe footpaths in your ward! Let’s make #Bengaluru walkable again! 🎥👇 Watch, share & take action!

Are the authorities correct here in taking bulldozer action? I hope he was given enough warnings before and this action was taken on him. How long roads and footpaths will be encroached in name of "Garibi" ?

🚨 Watch the video. Around 80% of the footpath encroachments shown are reportedly by migrants. This gives a better understanding of why the government's Footpath Clearance Campaign is important—not just for pedestrian safety, but also from a Kannada-first (ಕನ್ನಡ ಪರ) perspective. Free footpaths. Safe pedestrians. A better Bengaluru. ✅

🚫 Say No to Encroachments. Keep Footpaths Clear. Footpaths are meant for pedestrians, senior citizens, children, and persons with disabilities. Encroaching on them forces people onto busy roads, putting lives at risk. The Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation urges citizens, shop owners, and vendors to keep footpaths free from obstructions and ensure safe movement for all.

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

Let’s see what it takes to walk outside Google Bengaluru. One word: unsafe. Both sides’ footpaths are broken and encroached, while the service road is riddled with potholes. What should be the pride of Bengaluru is getting the least attention from GBA. The further you go, the worse it gets. We urge urgent action to restore safe, walkable footpaths here. #BrandBengaluru Greater Bengaluru Authority Maheshwar Rao.M, IAS DK Shivakumar Commissioner GBA Bengaluru East City Corporation

This video is from Mehsana. Many so-called “Xperts” will be quick to blame the disabled person for crossing the road. But how many will stop to ask why pedestrians are forced to risk their lives just to get across?

Kudos to Amdavad Municipal Corporation for doing a good job at designing broad, walkable footpaths at Rajpath Rangoli road. However sadly the design is still imperfect and needs bollards parallel to the road so that entitled car and SUV owners don’t encroach upon them! Also, why not empower pedestrians with an app in which they can take a photo and report and challans can reach the car owners online? Fully automated! Can be an additional revenue stream for the corporation.

A differently-abled man is forced to ride his tricycle on the very edge of the footpath because it has been completely encroached upon by local vendors. While trying to squeeze through the narrow space, he loses balance and falls. This is the reality in India. Even footpaths are not safe or accessible for the people who actually need them the most. Encroachment everywhere, zero enforcement, and complete neglect of basic civic responsibility. A country that cannot even keep its footpaths clear for a differently-abled person should seriously question its claims of development. Sometimes it feels like nothing will ever change in this third-world chaos.

A very interesting point by PM Modi. There was a time when people demanded basic roads. Today, states debate: - Why Vande Bharat is going elsewhere - Why semiconductor plants are coming to another state - Why high-speed rail corridors are not reaching them. That is perhaps the biggest transformation, the ASPIRATIONS of Indians have changed. The demand is no longer for development, it is for MORE DEVELOPMENT. Do listen to this.

You know why SBI left? Fifteen years of TMC rule have allowed such hawkers to occupy footpaths all over Kolkata. People are forced to walk on the roads because the footpaths have been taken over by illegal hawkers who allegedly pay money to syndicate goons. A metro bridge project was stalled for two years because of this politics. I hope BJP West Bengal Government will puts an end to this goonda culture. This is Dhaka-style politics that the CPI(M) and TMC brought into Kolkata, creating chaos across the city. Just watch this video from in front of the RBI branch. Suvendu Adhikari Agnimitra Paul BJP

A viral video claimed that SMC staff threw away a fruit vendor’s grapes at Dalgate yesterday! In reality, the vendor himself threw the grapes with his own umbrella and blamed the SMC staff for it! The vendor was asked twice to leave the area but instead abused and thrashed the Srinagar Municipal Corporation staff! Srinagar’s footpaths and roads are encroached upon by street vendors! While SMC removes them regularly! But a permanent solution is needed! Action is needed before these encroachments become permanent!
