🚨 Vibgyor High School Road, Panathur–Thubarahalli: A Traffic Disaster Waiting to Get Worse 🚧⚠️
These 3 G-maps tell the story better than words.
A stretch of barely 1.5–2 km on Vibgyor High School Road is routinely taking commuters 25–30 minutes to cross during peak hours. The first half alone consumes nearly 13 minutes, while the second half takes another 12 minutes, turning a short drive into an exhausting daily ordeal.
What's even more alarming is that this is no longer just a congestion issue- it's becoming a serious road safety crisis.
⚠️ Daily reports of accidents
⚠️ Near-zero lane discipline
⚠️ Encroachments and bottlenecks
⚠️ Weak or inconsistent traffic enforcement
⚠️ Unfinished road-leveling work on a critical ~100-meter stretch
Despite repeated complaints from residents and commuters, there has been little visible progress. The pending road-leveling work remains incomplete, and there has been no meaningful update from GBA officials on timelines or corrective action.
This corridor serves thousands of residents, school buses, office commuters, emergency vehicles, and public transport users every single day. Yet commuters continue to face gridlock, unsafe driving conditions, and avoidable delays.
📢 We urge:
✅ Bengaluru Traffic Police to deploy strict enforcement and lane management measures immediately.
✅ GBA and concerned authorities to expedite the pending road-leveling and bottleneck-removal work.
✅ GBA officials to publicly share timelines, progress updates, and accountability measures for this stretch.
The people of Panathur, Gunjur, Balagere, and Varthur cannot be expected to normalize spending half an hour to travel less than two kilometres.
Enough studies. Enough delays. This stretch needs immediate intervention before it claims more time, productivity, and lives.

BSWML has managed to complicate not just Solid Waste Management, but now even the GBA/BBMP property tax portal. #EaseOfLiving
A simple property tax payment is turning into a confusing exercise due to poorly designed SWM user fee questions and unclear data requirements.
There is no per-house waste weighment system, so all entries are merely estimates. And the framework imposes discriminatory charges on apartment communities that already segregate and compost their waste.
Fix the SWM framework first—don’t make compliance harder for citizens.
We seek urgent intervention from the Chief Commissioner, GBA.

@MALimbavali Mam few days back you did the inauguration of various development works at Kaverappa Layout, Panathur.Till now hardly 20-30% work is completed & currently sewage water is overflowing on the newly constructed road which is hazardous for us. Please help us @GBA_office
While Sun was transiting to Makar Rashi on Makar Shankranthi, Tejaveera Bharateeyaru day started with meeting Senior Volunteers of Varthur Lake who had dedicated years together to research, revive and stop pollution in the #varthur lake. Humbled to meet them, a new chapter has started .
Please understand urbanisation is not having high rise buildings, tech parks and pubs. Unless the Vaayu, Bhoomi and Jal is taken care and protected, your existence itself will become a curse to the planet and eventually which affects you. On this front @KannadaRepublic has covered the varthur lake issue.
#IISC professor Ramachandra and team has put lot of efforts to identify what happens when industry wastes and sewage is let out into the lakes.
Have attached small image on how vegetables contain heavy metals grown on the banks of polluted water bodies. This research paper is from #IISC professor. Please wake up.... One of the reason for neurological diseases are because of heavy metals.
Join hands in getting mass signatures for us to take it further, reach us out to, lets bring our lake bodies back to life to save your next generation. Please email [email protected] to connect.

BACK TO BALLOT UNDER CONG RAJ?
BREAKING ON KARNATAKA POLLS.
Bengaluru Municipal Corporation elections will be held on ballot papers, not EVMs.
• 369 wards to vote via ballot
• Decision taken by State Election Commission after stakeholder consultations
• Karnataka Cabinet had recommended ballot papers for local body polls last September.
KARNATAKA State EC: “We have taken a considered decision.”
( 1/3) Another citizen injured. Another life put at risk. A tech professional has broken his shoulder because Balagere’s roads are death traps—full of deep slits, craters, & total neglect.This is not an accident, this is criminal negligence.
Oct 7th 2023 similar meeting with @DKShivakumar same hall, same dynamics, we dint see any improvements on CDP road and sewage menace, no coordination with departments involving #IT employees, no public transportation yet, #IT employees are made to run through #dust and #sewage . NO MOVEMENT REGARDING CDP ROAD, UNLESS CDP ROAD HAPPENS WITH PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION TO ARTERIAL ROADS YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SOLVE EVEN 10 PERCENT OF THE TRAFFIC CHAOS WHAT YOU SEE IN ORR, SARJAPUR, GUNJUR,VARTHUR,PANATHUR. @GBAChiefComm @EASTCITYCORP attaching 2023 Oct pic meeting of DCM with @0RRCA , attaching pic from Nov 2025 meet with new @GBA_office team , demand remains same
1. GUNJUR NEW HORIZON CDP ROAD COMPLETION
2. ROB COMPLETION TO CONNECT CONNECTIVITY OF CDP ROAD
3. UGD AND NECESSARY STP FOR 110 VILLAGE TO STOP THE SEWAGE FLOW INTO THE LAKES AND INTO THE #IT EMPLOYEES SHOES AND CARS. BALEGERE GUNJUR NEEDS SORAHUNSE STP DONE AT EARLIEST
4. WE NEED PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IN ARTERIAL ROADS
5. NEED MANUAL SWEEPING OR ROADSIDE SWEEPING MACHINES AT THE EARLIEST TO ARTERIAL ROADS, ELSE WE WILL START SWEEPING FROM JAN 1ST 2026

THE HELL TAX PAYERS MUST GO THROUGH WHEN THERE IS NO CDP ROAD AS PER THE PLANS on #IT CORRIDOR. Panathur S Cross widening being band aid for the current traffic chaos, 150ft CDP road has become a dream now, why there is no work on something which is part of RMP 2015. In September 2024, tender was called for ROB VIA DUCT, there was no progress on that,again in May 2025 they have called tender to prepare DPR and we dont see any progress. BANGALORE TOWN PLANNING MUST BE COMPLETELY INVESTIGATED FOR APPROVING PROJECTS MINDLESSLY WITHOUT CONSIDERING FAR RATIO NEITHER THEY LOOK AT EXISTING INFRA TO APPROVE SUCH HIGH RISE PROJECTS, TECH PARKS AND INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS.
@CMofKarnataka
visited panathur scross instructed chief Enginner to complete CDP road, there is no action @GBAChiefComm@GBA_office@GbaEastCity7056@NammaBengaluroo@osd_cmkarnataka@DKShivakumar@shalinirajnish Who must be held accountable now for delay in CDP road? Please give us deadlines on who will approve these DPRs @sandysharecares@parshuramkreddy@BalagereConnect@rajeevgowda@lkatheeq@Hamsaa04@Tejasvi_Surya@MALimbavali@PCMohanMP

@DKShivakumar@karnatakacm@BBMPCOMM This needs immediate action.
A huge dangerous pothole at Manyata Main Gate (below flyover, right-most lane) is a serious accident trap, especially at night.
This is negligence and putting thousands of commuters at risk.
Fix it NOW. ⚠️🚫
