[Nalini Unagar @NalinisKitchen]

Sounds good in a speech, but this feels more like a movie dialogue than real life.

Corruption cannot be defeated by telling people to "take my name."

The moment an ordinary citizen files a complaint, they risk being harassed by the same system they're complaining against. By the time the case reaches court, there is often little or no evidence left, and the accused walks free.

Helmet ⛑️ must for bike rider and pillion riders . Municipal authorities should be booked for negligence.

People get fined for overspeeding, wrong parking, no seatbelt and many other violations.

But no government official is ever punished for robbing citizens of their basic dignity on the road.

[Mohandas Pai @TVMohandasPai]

Minister @krishnabgowda All citizens support you. Please go fill stream ahead

[RK Misra @rk_misra]

Spent 3 hrs from 10:30pm to 1:30am on ORR, reviewing the ORR revamp plans & challenges from KR Puram to Iblur Jn led by BLR Dev Minister @krishnabgowda

Admire his commitment to make a difference & understanding of the challenges. Feel hopeful for BLR. ⁦@CMofKarnataka⁩

all street vendors on 100ft road, indiranagar are gone including the famous vada pav stall!

[Sudhakar Rao @sudhakar10]

Dear @krishnabgowda 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 @comm_blr_south

[Sudhakar Rao @sudhakar10]

This is a moment of reckoning for Bangaloreans. If we don't support @krishnabgowda now, we will lose any last hope of revival for the city.

Bangalore's old charm was about its walkable streets and giant trees dotting the roads on both sides. Today it's a dream to find such footpaths and roads.

The only way to make Bengaluru Great Again is to reclaim it's public spaces that has turned into garbage den.

For the first time we have a politician not just talking about it but working towards making the city livable with dignity. We all must support unconditionally...

Encroachment is rampant at Yelahanka! This removal just a tip of the iceberg! @BNCCofficial

[Greater Bengaluru Authority @GBA_office]

A special footpath encroachment clearance drive was carried out at Yelahanka New Town under the Bengaluru North City Corporation as part of the Safe Footpath Campaign. The operation focused on removing unauthorized encroachments obstructing pedestrian movement and restoring footpaths for safe, accessible, and hassle-free public use.

The initiative aims to ensure walkable, obstruction-free footpaths, enhance pedestrian safety, and improve the overall urban environment. Citizens and shopkeepers are urged to cooperate with the civic authorities by keeping footpaths free from encroachments and supporting a cleaner, safer Bengaluru.

Respected sir, Kind attention - Foot encorachment by @GBA_office @comm_blr_south itself on Begur road. Building is projected on to footpath. How to walk sir? Do you have guts to clear this encorachment and demolish the portion sitting on Foot path?

Remarkable achievement. It was long overdue. THANKS KBG for this . Trust it will continue.

🚶 BENGALURU'S FOOTPATHS ARE GETTING THEIR SPACE BACK

From July 1–10, the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) is running a 'Safe Footpath Campaign' across 1,000 km of road network — clearing encroachments from footpaths in all five city corporations.

📊 WHY THIS MATTERS

30% of every 1,000 road accident deaths in Bengaluru are pedestrians. The Supreme Court has been clear: walking on a footpath safely is a fundamental right, not a privilege.

🚫 WHAT'S BEING CLEARED
➡Illegal parking on footpaths (vehicles will be towed)
➡Name boards, chairs, tables, and kiosks blocking pedestrian paths
➡Vendors and shops spilling onto walkways

✅ HOW IT'S BEING DONE
➡Notices will be issued before any action — not a sudden crackdown
➡Action will follow the Street Vendors' Protection Act and SC guidelines
➡Municipal officers, police, and clearance teams will coordinate
➡Damaged slabs and kerbs will be repaired alongside clearance

It follows the #1KmChallenge encouraging people to walk short distances instead of driving — Bengaluru is trying to become more walkable, one footpath at a time.

🗣️ WE NEED YOUR EYES ON THE GROUND

Let's make Bengaluru's footpaths walkable again — together.

The post is about Sonia Narang IPS . The photo attached is of Dr Arpita Shukla IPS . Why this anomaly !! Pls take down this incorrect post !!!!

[Sann @san_x_m]

Her name is Sonia Narang.

She was born on November 17 1975 in Chandigarh. Her father was a retired deputy superintendent of police. She was a North Zone topper in Class 12 and won a gold medal in Sociology at Punjab University.

She joined the Indian Police Service in 1999 and was allotted the Karnataka cadre.

She built a reputation early for refusing to bend. As Superintendent of Police in Davangere, she stood her ground against a sitting MLA during a violent protest.

In 2015, she was posted as Superintendent of Police in the City wing of the Karnataka Lokayukta, the state’s anti-corruption watchdog.

There she found something the institution was not prepared for her to find.

According to investigations that followed, an extortion racket was operating from inside the Lokayukta itself. Government officials were allegedly being threatened with raids and made to pay bribes to avoid them.

The trail led to the son of the sitting Lokayukta, Justice Bhaskar Rao.

Sonia Narang took cognisance of a complaint and put it in writing to the Lokayukta registrar. No action was taken on her report.

She did not let it go.

The matter eventually led to a formal investigation. The Lokayukta’s son was arrested. Other insiders were arrested. Justice Bhaskar Rao was forced to resign from the institution that was supposed to fight corruption.

She was later promoted to Deputy Inspector General in the Criminal Investigation Department and went on to investigate a major question paper leak scam.

When the Chief Minister accused her on the floor of the assembly of helping illegal miners, she publicly denied it and pointed out that she had never worked in any mining region or department.

In a later reshuffle involving around forty officers, several officials who had been probing corruption in the Lokayukta and mining sectors were transferred out.

In 2019, she was sent on central deputation to the National Investigation Agency in Delhi.

She was posted to an institution created to fight corruption.

She discovered the corruption was inside the institution itself.

[Mohandas Pai @TVMohandasPai]

The issue is why was traffic blocked for 30 Mts? @CPBlr @DgpKarnataka why this overreach? Why are citizens treated like subjects and third class people like this? We are a democracy governed by runs of law and egalitarian. @DrParameshwara our Minister should review process to protect citizens who are his voters.

CRPF complex on Doddaballapura Road Yelahanka, where large scale tree cutting was undertaken by BBMP on the request of CRPF . But replanting of trees 🌲 were never taken up in exchange. Can GBA climate action cell take it up now ??

[GBA CLIMATE ACTION CELL @gba_bcac]

Bengaluru once earned the name “Garden City.” Now, the question is — can we earn it back?

The Bengaluru Climate Action Plan (BCAP) sets an ambitious goal: Increase the city’s green cover by 20% by 2040.

Because trees are not just “beautification.”
They are our shade in rising heat, our defence against flooding, our cleaner air, our biodiversity, and our breathing space in a rapidly growing city.

But this goal cannot be achieved by policies alone. It needs citizens, communities, schools, offices, RWAs, planners, and YOU.

So tell us, If you could transform ONE space in Bengaluru into a green space, what would it be?

Economic Survey 2025-26 proposes the Namo Bharat Bengaluru-Tumakuru RRTS corridor. Extending Bengaluru Metro to Tumakuru misses the main purpose of urban transit. A 60-km Metro would be too expensive and slow, while Namo Bharat Rapid Rail would be faster, cheaper and practical.

[Kiran Aradhya @KiranAradhyaadv]

Huge billboards have collapsed near Hoskote toll, reportedly killing four.

Who will take responsibility for this? @GBA_office @DKShivakumar or will the CM write another "letter" to Modi to take responsibility?

The air in Bengaluru is changing.

We stepped onto the streets to ask Bengalureans what they really think about the city’s air quality and the responses speak for themselves. Clean air is not a privilege, it’s a necessity for every citizen.

Watch the conversation. It’s time we act together for a healthier Bengaluru.
