🚫 DON’T THROW GARBAGE ON ROADSIDES 🚫

🗑️ Garbage thrown on roadsides and into drains blocks the free flow of rainwater.

🌧️ During rains, clogged drains lead to:

❌ Waterlogging
❌ Flooded roads
❌ Traffic problems
❌ Unhygienic conditions

✅ Dispose waste properly
✅ Keep drains clean
✅ Help keep Bengaluru flood-free

🙏 Your small action can protect the city during rains.

Very much true. Mysuru is losing its historical significance as the princely state architecture and planning is getting spoiled. @Star_Of_Mysore

Is Mysuru going the Bengaluru way? - Star of Mysore https://t.co/fuPPwyraf1 via Star_Of_Mysore

Earlier planning was done by keeping conservancy lanes so that managing solid waste was easy. Today in Mysuru all these conservancy lanes are used as entry to houses divided and sold. Munci authorities and Government lack urbanisation knowledge .

This invitation from history of Jayanagara’s inauguration in 1948 is a reminder of how Bengaluru went from Jayanagar’s planned blueprint to today’s maddening chaos.

The invitation reveals the seriousness with which our leaders once approached city-building. It wasn’t merely an inauguration. It was a declaration - that urban development was an act of nation-building.

Jayanagar was conceived by the Bangalore City Improvement Trust Board (CITB) - precursor to today’s BDA - guided by the spirit of Sir M. Visvesvaraya and the Mysore Maharajas’ foresight. It was one of Asia’s earliest and most thoughtfully planned urban layouts.

It was built on principles that cities like Tokyo, New York and London followed:

• Grid-based planning
• Dedicated civic zones and markets
• Wide tree-lined roads and footpaths
• Abundant public parks and playgrounds

Even the act of inviting the Governor-General to inaugurate a neighbourhood showed how civic growth was seen as a matter of pride, not paperwork. Urban planning was driven by engineers, architects, and visionaries - not contractors and consultants.

Every road had a logic. Every park had a purpose. Every design decision carried dignity.

Leaders like the Maharajas and Visvesvaraya believed that cities reflected a civilisation’s discipline.

The Mysore administration treated urban growth as a long-term institution-building exercise. They built universities, dams, townships, and layouts that still function after seven decades. Their belief was simple: a city must be engineered, not improvised.

Today, unfortunately, we live amid the ruins of that foresight.

Where there were walkable boulevards, we have potholes and parking chaos. Where there were civic squares, we have encroachments and flyovers. Where there was once planning, we now have “projects.”

Our political leadership - cutting across parties - has confused construction with development and visibility with vision.

Institutions like the BDA, once envisioned as planning agencies, have been reduced to contractors’ departments.

The result is what we see daily:

• Roads without design logic
• Footpaths that begin nowhere and end abruptly
• Drainage systems built after the rain
• Metro alignments retrofitted into chaos

It’s not just inefficiency; it’s the absence of imagination. Lack of commitment and sincerity.

The 1948 Jayanagar inauguration invitation is is a mirror showing us how much dignity our forebears attached to civic order, and how little we have preserved of it.

That single event symbolised urban governance as a national calling.

Today, our cities are governed by short-termism and populism - with no professional planning cadre, no respect for design, and no accountability for outcomes. Just sheer opportunism.

We have lost the plot of urbanisation.
And in losing that, we are losing the very quality of urban life.

If we are to rebuild Bengaluru - or any Indian city - we must go back to the ethos that created Jayanagar:

• Plan before you build.
• Design for people, not for vehicles.
•Let professionals lead, not politicians meddle.
• Treat civic dignity and urban quality of life as non-negotiable.

The story of Jayanagar should inspire a new generation of urban reformers to ask:

“What kind of city do we want to leave behind - a monument to neglect and greed, or a model of vision and inspiration?”

Urbanisation is India’s destiny. But without leadership like the Mysuru Maharajas or Sir Visvesvaraya’s, it may also become our greatest failure.
