🚶 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.

Thinking yeh hai kisi bhi field mai . Soch lo samaj lo clear ho jao decision lo aur sab bhool ke aage badho and topi se yaad aaya topi khud pehno kisi ko pehnao nahi na kisi ko pehnane do.
The foundation of our democracy, or so they say. Yet, the very road fronting the Vidhan Soudha in Bangalore tells a different story. One of crumbling infrastructure and citizen hardship. The taxes you pay should come back to you! #bengaluru
Questioning the government isn't an option anymore. Indian political parties got us competing in the underdevelopment olympics. We bicker amongst ourselves.
@_sankyy YouTube is a powerful word. So is GMail. So is Android. And these are all words different from Google which have become powerful over time. What's your point? God damn hot takes.
Unbelievable, just when you think they can’t sunk any lower; poor acting, pettiness & opportunism on full display, embarrassing for a country of 240 million plus people to have these clowns forcefully imposed upon us
