We urgently need a law where if a minister promises something and fails to fulfill it, they should not be allowed to contest the next election.

Look at the stupidity of this system.

Taxpayers fund the Govt.

Govt fails schools, hospitals, roads and basic services.

Then the same taxpayer is forced to pay again for private schools, private hospitals and everything else.

And politicians cut ribbons on Ladli Behna Yojana, funded by the same taxpayers' money, and beg for votes from people who never paid a rupee in taxes.

Till now we do not know the name and identity of the terrorist co-pilot.

Crash the plane. Kill Israelis. Blame it on the Indian pilot without evidence. This was the plan, l think.

We could feel the entire GLISCO infiltrated media and anti-India social media ecosystem was prepped and ready.

Once the plane was saved, sadly for these cowards, the way they covered the news hiding the name of the attacker and the nationality of the savior gives it away.

The most important and bravest thing Captain Smit did was open the cockpit door. Or else, we know what would have been the propaganda if something terrible had happened with the door closed.

The crash would have been in some non-Israeli territory, and even the blackbox would have been tampered with or sent to some Pak run UK/US lab to make it into "the Indian captain's actions are questionable" to build anti-India propaganda over it.

The attacks on Indian pilots, doctors, sailors, engineers etc have been relentless in the last few years. This is in addition to anti-Indian racism selectively being fanned in countries with Indian diaspora to kick them out.

So some others, whose home country is stagnating economically, can get those opportunities while India's NRI based economy is hit. This is the plan going on world over if you notice the pattern carefully.

Let's wait for this co-pilot's motives and links to be uncovered. It won't be surprising, to say the least, his room mate, neighbor, friend, influencer would be from terroristan.

While other cites are thinking of last mile connectivity, Bengaluru is facing First Mile Connectivity issues.

Residents of one housing society reportedly take up to 30 minutes just to exit the complex.

By the time you reach the main road, you already deserve a coffee break 😂

[EngiNerd. @mainbhiengineer]

I think huge traffic and lack of metro connectivity in Bangalore is a well planned idea so that people are forced to stay near IT corridor and

> Pay ridiculously high rent and support real estate market.
> Pay atleast 1.5x to 3x more fees to school
> Create need of more 10 minutes delivery apps, and can claim that Bangalore is a Startup capital.
> Cabs and auto guys can loot you with surge pricing
> Pay 2x price for food to grocery to vegetables just to avoid going out and getting stuck in traffic for hours.

Traffic is a a well planned idea to support the city growth, that's the reason no one cares about fixing it.

@Abhishek060722 Ban SC/ST act ??? They are bringing UGc into picture in universities.. what will happen after that imagine..

[Alok Sharma @ThusSpokeDharma]

The loudest trend on social media today is professionals and investors openly advising General Category youth to leave India immediately and without any guilt.

This is not a failure of patriotism. This is a complete failure of the state.

When a government treats its most meritorious citizens as nothing more than tax generating machines while systematically destroying their educational and professional opportunities, the social contract breaks.

You cannot weaponize draconian laws against top IIT professors, enforce absurd 91 percent reservation quotas in medical colleges, and then expect the youth to quietly absorb the humiliation in the name of nationalism.

Patriotism cannot be a one way street.

You cannot treat an entire community as second class citizens in their own country, use them merely to fund freebies for your vote banks, and then question their loyalty when they decide to take their talent abroad.

A country that punishes hard work and rewards political blackmail will inevitably lose its brightest minds to nations that actually value talent.

Remember, the General Category is not abandoning India.

The political system has aggressively pushed them out.

[Tiger Ramesh @TigeRamesh]

On the Whitefield - Varthur traffic woes, I gave some of my views to ChatGPT and it summed up the top 6 issues on this road stretch:

The top six reasons for the mess:

1. Lack of political will and administrative accountability

This is the fundamental cause. The widening of SH-35 has been discussed for more than a decade, but land acquisition, demolitions and construction have repeatedly missed deadlines. Completion dates have continuously been extended, with the project now unlikely to be finished before 2027.

A separate 140-foot CDP road connecting Gunjur to the Outer Ring Road has also remained incomplete for many years. Its absence forces a large volume of traffic onto SH-35 and narrow roads through Panathur, Balagere, Varthur and Gunjur.

Land acquisition is undoubtedly complicated, but more than a decade of shifting deadlines suggests a lack of sustained political ownership. Several agencies are involved, yet no single authority appears accountable for completing the entire corridor.

2. Rampant real-estate development without matching infrastructure

Varthur, Gunjur, Balagere and Whitefield have acquired thousands of apartments, schools and commercial establishments. However, the roads, alternative links and public transport required to support this growth have not been completed.

Prestige is a particularly visible contributor because of the scale of its developments in the area. Prestige Lakeside Habitat alone reportedly contains 3,426 apartments and 271 villas—3,697 homes in a single development. This is in addition to newer projects such as Prestige Raintree Park, Prestige Lavender Fields, Prestige Somerville and other developments in the wider Varthur–Whitefield catchment.

Prestige is not the only developer and cannot be blamed individually for the entire problem. Brigade and numerous other builders have also developed large projects in the area. The larger failure is governmental: high-density residential projects were approved without first ensuring adequate road capacity, public transportation and multiple access routes.

3. Heavy truck traffic on an unsuitable urban corridor

Residents have been demanding restrictions on heavy trucks along SH-35 for more than a decade. Although peak-hour restrictions reportedly exist, heavy vehicles continue to use the road during school and commuter hours.

A loaded truck moving slowly can occupy most of the usable road width. When two buses or trucks meet at a narrow section—or when one truck breaks down—traffic in both directions can come to a complete standstill.

Through-freight vehicles that do not have business in Varthur or Gunjur should be diverted to the old NH-207/current NH-648 and Satellite Town Ring Road alignment through Hosur–Bagalur–Sarjapur–Hoskote, wherever the relevant sections are operational.

Construction vehicles, water tankers and locally bound delivery trucks should be allowed only during specified off-peak or night-time windows. At a minimum, the heavy-vehicle prohibition must cover the entire school movement period, not merely conventional office peak hours.

4. Broken roads and absence of basic traffic engineering

Large stretches suffer from potholes, craters, uneven road edges, dust, incomplete drainage and partially completed widening work. Although the road may technically have two lanes, damaged surfaces and excavated edges frequently reduce it to one usable lane.

The absence of continuous medians and proper lane separators makes the situation worse:

Vehicles overtake or move onto the wrong side.
Opposing traffic becomes interlocked.
Uncontrolled U-turns interrupt the main traffic flow.
School buses and trucks cannot maintain orderly lanes.
A small obstruction quickly creates a queue extending several kilometres.

Residents have reportedly been requesting road dividers, streetlights and proper traffic management for several years. These are relatively basic interventions and should not have to wait for the elevated corridor or final road widening.

5. Varthur market and the narrow village sections

The road widens in certain places but suddenly narrows through Varthur village and again at Gunjur. These sections function as permanent bottlenecks.

The Varthur market area adds roadside vendors, pedestrians, parked vehicles, loading and unloading, frequent turning movements and vehicles stopping directly on the carriageway. This may have been manageable when Varthur was a village, but it is completely incompatible with today’s volume of school buses, apartment traffic, water tankers and heavy trucks.

The market is not the sole cause, but it is a critical pinch point. Wider roads on either side feed large volumes of traffic into a narrow commercial section. Once this section blocks, the queue rapidly spreads towards Whitefield in one direction and Gunjur in the other.

6. Almost non-existent traffic (police) enforcement

The Whitefield–Varthur–Gunjur stretch has no sustained police presence, continuous patrol vehicles or adequate traffic wardens at critical bottlenecks. Violations such as wrong-side driving, illegal parking, reckless overtaking and obstruction of junctions consequently continue unchecked. With little monitoring and almost no fear of penalties, indiscipline compounds the infrastructure failures and turns an already congested road into complete chaos.

Conclusion

The problem is not simply that there are too many vehicles.

The government permitted metropolitan-scale residential and institutional development, continued allowing heavy through-traffic, and failed to replace the original village road with an adequate transport corridor.

Prestige and other large developers have substantially increased traffic demand, but the primary responsibility rests with the authorities that approved this level of development without completing SH-35 widening, the Gunjur–ORR CDP road, proper junctions, medians, drainage, traffic enforcement and adequate public transport.

Immediate relief can come from strict school-hour truck restrictions, diversion of through-freight to alternative highways, emergency road resurfacing, temporary median barriers, dedicated traffic police at choke points, and regulated parking and loading around Varthur market. None of these measures needs to wait for the long-delayed elevated corridor.

Bengaluru is celebrated as India’s technology capital, yet children around Varthur–Gunjur are routinely spending 2–3 hours travelling just a few kilometres. This isn’t an isolated traffic jam — it is a recurring reality, often several times a week.

Every hour lost in traffic means less time for sleep, studies, sports, family and simply being a child. School-going children are being made to bear the daily consequences of years of inadequate infrastructure and traffic planning.

At what point does “traffic congestion” stop being an inconvenience and become a failure of governance with a direct impact on children’s lives?

@CMofKarnataka avare, please INTERVENE urgently. Our children cannot be expected to keep paying the price for administrative delays and planning failures.

@MALimbavali @narendramodi Keep winning the constituency under the name of Modi and pay least attention to responsibly on your shoulder but till when?Look at the condition of roads and potholes in your constituency. even the basic infrastructure is not there,as it is supposed to be. let the people suffer.

[Hari @HaricharanJaya2]

Today my daughter’s school bus took 2 hours to travel just 2 km in Varthur/Gunjur road.

For those 2 hours, I sat there as a parent feeling completely helpless.

I work hard. My wife and I pay lakhs in taxes every month. We took a huge home loan mainly so we could live close to our daughter’s school and give her a safer, easier childhood.

And yet, this is what “2 km from school” means here.

In the last year alone, we have seen a school bus topple, a woman suffer serious injuries after a fall, a biker almost lost his life after falling because of a pothole, and many more incidents that never become headlines.

Every day, ordinary people here tweet, email, complain, follow up and plead with authorities.

We are not activists.
We are not fighting for a political party.
We are parents, employees, families and taxpayers asking for one basic thing:

Please give our children a safe road to come home on.

Today, more than the traffic, what broke me was the feeling that despite doing everything a responsible citizen is supposed to do, I had absolutely no power to protect my own child.

If anyone knows how ordinary citizens of Varthur/Gunjur can reach someone with the authority to actually intervene, please help us.
