Thread on How I Quit Smoking 🚭and been smoke free since 4 years.
Celebrating 4 years smoke-free! Quitting smoking was one of the toughest challenges I've faced,but it's been worth every struggle. Here's to better health, clearer lungs,& a stronger willpower! #SmokeFre
I apologise to all our supporters, especially the girls who were brutally beaten by male police officers.
We could have done better. I could have done better to protect you from the inhumane actions of the Delhi Police.
To protect one Dharmendra Pradhan, who is responsible for the deaths of more than 20 students, the Govt was willing to spill the blood of many more young students.
If you were injured and see this, please DM me. I want to speak to you personally and apologise.
We will keep fighting for all of you.
For many years, apartment owners have called for a new law that better addresses their needs relating to ownership, governance, and management. Our Government has taken note of these citizen demands.
Under the guidance of Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri D. K. Shivakumar, the Government has prepared a draft Bill. Before taking it forward, we would like to seek the views and suggestions of all stakeholders.
Accordingly, a stakeholder consultation has been scheduled for 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, 15 July, at conference hall of Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium. The Hon’ble Chief Minister will be present at the consultation.
We invite you to participate and share your suggestions to help shape this important legislation.

15 days and counting. Sonam Wangchuk is a man of remarkable grit. While most politicians retreat to cooler climes in summer, here is someone showing what Gandhian-style, peaceful resistance is truly about. You don’t have to agree with everything he says, but for sheer courage and conviction, he deserves a SALUTE! 💪🏻
And an aside: when Anna Hazare fasted, we in the media covered it round the clock. Sonam Wangchuk’s 15-day protest? Barely a mention. Says a lot about what we choose to amplify and how much things have changed since 2011. 🙏
#Bengaluru Development Minister @krishnabgowda took a political risk by clearing #footpaths. Yet, vendors return the next day and eateries set out tables on pavements. This reveals the sheer connivance of local officers. A few suspensions should do the trick. @GBA_office

Commissioner of Police @CPBlr Seemant Kumar Singh requests GBA Chief Commissioner M Maheshwara Rao @GBAChiefComm to declare about 1500 kilo-meters of road in Bengaluru city as non vending zones. Suggests a new law can be passed if there is a need to change the existing rules. Much needed to end the menace of footpath encroachment.
Footpaths are occupied again at Vijayanagar. @krishnabgowda@mkrishnappa_MLA .
Sir you both are doing good and I understand once it’s cleared people should understand but if you stress again on these footpath vendors and remove they don’t come back..
🚶 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.
