#Bengaluru’s broken roads are turning into death traps!
Caught on camera: Motorists struggling to pull their vehicles out of ‘surprise & shocker pits’ on the Gunjur-Doddakaneli Road (which connects to Carmelaram) in the tech corridor.
Will these roads ever become motorable?

#Bengaluru’s potholes have gone underground!
After a Public TV reporter sat inside a massive cavity on Kanteerava Studio Main Road (ORR) to highlight the danger, civic officials & traffic police swung into action.
The fix? Dump some debris into the “natural tunnel”.
Problem solved or buried?

IIT Bombay Director resigned but this convo will shook the education system 🚨
Girl student - Sir, you don't even know how much pressure is on a student
Shireesh Kedare - Okay, should we make cheating legal for you guys? So that you don't take pressure? We are asked to design papers for students who have the brains to study. For students who came into IIT through 80 percentile. Just because some of you students came through 30 percentile, we can't make the paper that much easy for other students.
Girl student - You are still being shameless sir. This was all your fault
Shireesh Kedare - I am resigning because there was some of my fault. But each one of you children who has ever done cheating should leave this IIT now. I will also ask the watchman to resign just because he couldn't check someone's pant for a mobile phone. All the parents around the world should also resign from their parental duties if they can't raise a studious child. That student feared them, not us. Your parents should be ashamed to send you to IITs when you are not even capable of passing a single exam of IIT.
Sir literally cooked this girl student. He resigned but he made sure to show the world how bad this education system is. Respect +++
IIT बॉम्बे के छात्र साहिल वाकोड़े परीक्षा में मोबाइल लेकर पकड़े गए। IIT के मुताबिक प्रश्नपत्र ChatGPT पर अपलोड कर जवाब लेने की कोशिश की गई.
ड्यूटी पर मौजूद प्रोफेसर सूर्यनारायण डूला ने पकड़ लिया। IIT का दावा है कि न सस्पेंड किया, न कोई अनुशासनात्मक कार्रवाई की—काउंसलिंग करके वापस भेज दिया.
फिर साहिल की मौत हो गई। परिवार ने जातिगत उत्पीड़न के आरोप लगाए और अब प्रोफेसर पर SC/ST Act और आत्महत्या के लिए उकसाने की FIR दर्ज है। IIT ने जातिगत भेदभाव के आरोपों से इनकार किया है.
अब जरा इस व्यवस्था पर सवाल पूछिए...
परीक्षा में नकल रोकना अपराध है या जाति देखकर नकल रोकनी चाहिए?
क्या IIT में परीक्षा के नियम भी अब जाति देखकर लागू होंगे ?
मोबाइल लेकर परीक्षा में बैठना—नियमों का उल्लंघन
AI पर प्रश्नपत्र डालकर जवाब लेना—गंभीर सवाल
प्रोफेसर का पकड़ना—उसका काम
लेकिन छात्र की मौत के बाद अगर हर सवाल का जवाब SC/ST Act में खोजा जाएगा, तो कल शायद परीक्षा में नकल पकड़ने से पहले invigilator को यह पूछना पड़े “पहले जाति बता दीजिए, फिर नकल रोकूं”
जातिगत भेदभाव के आरोपों की निष्पक्ष जांच होनी चाहिए, लेकिन जांच से पहले किसी को दोषी घोषित करना भी न्याय नहीं है।
नकल रोकने वाला शिक्षक अपराधी और नकल करने वाला पीड़ित—क्या यही नया अकादमिक मॉडल है?

Today my daughter’s school bus took 2 hours to travel just 2 km in Varthur/Gunjur road.
For those 2 hours, I sat there as a parent feeling completely helpless.
I work hard. My wife and I pay lakhs in taxes every month. We took a huge home loan mainly so we could live close to our daughter’s school and give her a safer, easier childhood.
And yet, this is what “2 km from school” means here.
In the last year alone, we have seen a school bus topple, a woman suffer serious injuries after a fall, a biker almost lost his life after falling because of a pothole, and many more incidents that never become headlines.
Every day, ordinary people here tweet, email, complain, follow up and plead with authorities.
We are not activists.
We are not fighting for a political party.
We are parents, employees, families and taxpayers asking for one basic thing:
Please give our children a safe road to come home on.
Today, more than the traffic, what broke me was the feeling that despite doing everything a responsible citizen is supposed to do, I had absolutely no power to protect my own child.
If anyone knows how ordinary citizens of Varthur/Gunjur can reach someone with the authority to actually intervene, please help us.

SH35:
Today,Varthur residents got fed up and started filling deep potholes with bare hands, without any gloves, equipments. just Using the stones
@GBAChiefComm@GBAChiefComm@BECCUPDATES@MALimbavali@krishnabgowda please use our tax money and get SH35 potholes patched.
Kicked off the Freedom Walk on Balagere Road! 🚨
Welcome to one of the most neglected areas in Bengaluru—Balagere Road, located in one of the highest tax-paying constituencies in the entire country. Yet, instead of basic, motorable infrastructure, residents and commuters are greeted with craters, waterlogging, and daily hazards where two-wheelers nearly get run over by water tankers.
During our walk, locals rightly asked: are they waiting for a fatal accident to happen before they finally lay down tar? With 60 crores sanctioned for Mahadevapura (including Varthur, Gunjur, and Balagere), taxpayers are left asking the ultimate question: Where did that money go?
Every monsoon, these roads flood and vehicle underbodies get battered repeatedly. Is this really what tax-paying citizens deserve? We joined hands with local residents to demand answers, transparency, and immediate accountability from our civic authorities.
Report an issue in your ward to @NammaBNP. Call us at +91 8095130000.
We will work along with you to deliver what your ex-corporators didn’t. Choose leaders who care. Join BNP.
Caveat: I have already received a lot of requests for Freedom Walk in different areas, so I am doing them one by one. I promise that I will respond to every request in the next few days and get the Walk done soon.
Madam @MALimbavali Today it took hours to cross few hundred meters in Gunjur Varthur road. Panathur cdp road is still pending. Now this is beyond an emergency situation in our ward. All we expect is a humane response and treatment towards the citizens of this ward.
Budigere Rd near Sattva Songbird apartments : trucks stuck in potholes, rainwater hiding the danger. How has this road deteriorated within a few years?
@krishnabgowda@CMofKarnataka Please ensure lasting repairs, drainage and a deadline. Who is accountable for the quality?
At 20, Bittu Tabahi stepped into a polluted river — without gloves, boots or even knowing how to swim — and started cleaning it himself.
On 26 January 2026, the BSc student from Madhya Pradesh began cleaning the Ajnar River near a temple in Biaora, removing plastic and other waste that had turned parts of the river into a dumping ground.
He even began turning puja waste into compost and pooled money with friends to buy tools and dustbins.
The effort cost him around ₹30,000, and at one point, he suffered infections on his hands.
Then his work reached thousands online. Some accused him of doing it for likes.
Bittu’s surname means “destruction.” Today, he is trying to destroy something else: water pollution.
Because sometimes, change begins when one person stops waiting for someone else to start.
The Better India's #CivicSenseHero campaign is honouring people who make our communities cleaner, safer, more responsible and kinder.

A Class 8 student in Hardoi, Uttar Pradesh, Kshama Dikshit, was beaten so brutally by her teacher that she died during treatment.
Listen to the child—see how respectfully she calls her teacher “Guruji” even while enduring such pain and agony.
Such psychopaths should never be allowed to work as teachers.
If only the girl had been Dalit and the teacher a Brahmin, the whole of India would have been burning.
There is nobody to demand justice for Kshama Dikshit.
There will be no candle march for Kshama Dikshit.
This is the very sad reality of today’s Bharat.

Karnataka: Roof of a govt school in Mugaloli Thanda in Bagalkot taluk collapsed while students were studying on Wednesday.
Six children sustained minor injuries and were taken to hospital for treatment. Parents have sought permanent repairs & safety measures, citing the school’s dilapidated condition.
"My father, a Delhi Police officer, was almost lynched by Jantar Mantar rioters. He came home drenched in blood."
Delhi Police has urged SC to quash 13 FIRs of Jantar Mantar rioting. Rioters with no criminal history will be let off. The price of bravery in this country is blood.
Pls don’t taunt me as a billionaire. I am speaking on behalf of citizens who don’t have a voice n asked me to raise these issues. I do not use Anekal roads frequently but I live in Huskur n can tell you that the road between Huskur n Sarjapur Road is unmotorable.
🚨 SHOCKING!
Delhi HC stops FSSAI from cancelling ITC licence over “100% Atta, 0% Maida” claim 🤯
> FSSAI had threatened action against ITC over its arbitrary “100% Atta, 0% Maida” claims.
But Millords have SPOKEN!
Delhi HC has directed that no licence suspension/cancellation action be taken until the next hearing.
FSSAI had advised food businesses in May 2025 to discontinue using “100%” on food labels, packaging and promotional material.
Just when you see FSSAI taking some action, courts come in🥲
Private jobs comprise 98% of total jobs.
Rahul Gandhi wants 90% reservations in these jobs.
Private job markets, which were untouched by reservation politics, are now coming under it.
Your private job is going to be snatched away if the BJP goes.
🚨AAP's worker Abhijeet Dipke has problem with NCERT "Selebas".
He's saying it on camera that how uneducated people can decide the "Selebas" of NCERT.
It's clearly indicating on the deleted syllabus of NCERT about Mughals and added syllabus about Indian History.
If anyone has problem with Indian history added in NCERT then with what authority he's talking about reforming Indian education system?
Treat these anti-nationals like Terrorists.
