@krishnabgowda If you can genuinely do this and ensure the footpaths are not encroached again and not used by 2 wheelers it will be the biggest thing anyone has ever done for the city

Wooow... @DKShivakumar has now lent his support to building walkable streets. Thank you Sir.
This is music to the ears of all Bengalureans. More power to you and @krishnabgowda in this endeavor.
Bangalore must become pedestrian friendly to truly represent it's global value.
🚨 | BREAKING:
Manchester United were in talks to acquire the Freightliner land for the proposed 100,000-seat stadium and were understood to have tabled an opening offer of around £50 million, believing the £400 million valuation was significantly inflated.
After extensive internal discussions, the club ultimately decided to walk away and pursue alternative options.
In a surprise twist, Tottenham have now entered the race and are close to reaching an agreement to pay the full £400 million asking price. It is understood the breakthrough came after Roberto De Zerbi held lengthy face-to-face talks with Freightliner officials, presenting a detailed analysis of the site's underlying metrics, long-term upside and elite potential.
Sources say Freightliner executives were so impressed by the depth of the presentation that they immediately accepted the valuation, with one official reportedly saying, "No one has ever explained a patch of industrial land to us like that before."
Further discussions are believed to have centred around the site's ability to manipulate space between railway lines and progress cargo through central areas.
Personal terms are not expected to be an issue. New land for Spurs after Matues and Tonali signings.

Great job by Krishna Byregowda uncle in clearing out the street hawkers from Bangalore pavements. They were blocking the swiggy scooter/motorbike riders - now my Blinkit delivery will come in 3 minutes instead of 7 minutes.
Footpath encroachment removal drive carried out at ORR, Bellandur–Marathahalli Division by Bengaluru East City Corporation to reclaim pedestrian spaces and ensure safe, obstruction-free walkways for the public.
Citizens are requested to refrain from encroaching on footpaths and to support efforts in creating a cleaner, safer, and more pedestrian-friendly city.

🚶 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.

What it takes today to seek accountability:
• Countless paper leaks
• Millions of dreams shattered
• 20+ student suicides
• A hunger strike by an educationist and the youth
Never before has India seen such an arrogant government.

Heavy police deployment at Jantar Mantar.
The police are not allowing people to enter, and many of our core team members are being denied entry.
What are they planning to do?
I would strongly suggest avoiding booking flights through platforms like @makemytrip whenever possible. Book directly with the airline instead.
I had booked my tickets Months back for my travel in June to Munich. 10 days before the departure, the airline cancelled my booking.
I applied for the refund on 21st May, the same day the flight was cancelled. @makemytrip initially showed an expected refund date of 31st May (later I was told it could take up to 28 days). It has now been around 40 days, and I still haven't received my refund.
When I contact Kuwait Airways, they tell me the booking was made through MakeMyTrip, so any refund request has to come from them.
When I contact MakeMyTrip, they tell me Kuwait Airways hasn't released the refund.
You're basically stuck in an endless loop, with each side asking you to speak to the other, while your money remains blocked.
Over the last 40 days, I've contacted @makemytrip at least 4–5 times. Every single time, I'm told the issue has been "escalated." After multiple escalations, there has still been no resolution.
Despite assurances that the refund would be processed by the end of June, I'm now being told they still haven't received the money from the airline.
This experience has convinced me that for international travel, it's always better to book directly with the airline.
If something goes wrong, cancellations and refunds are usually much simpler because you're dealing with the airline directly instead of being caught between two companies.

Delhi Police has cut off sanitation facility at Jantar Mantar after Sonam Wangchuk announced his hunger strike.
No water connection and hygiene measures.
Despite repeated pleas and telling them about Wangchuk ji’s age and health concerns, the Police is not cooperating and we suspect that other such basic facilities too will be cut off.
What is the police upto?
