Tomorrow starts the test for Whitefield - Varthur - Gunjur Bengaluru education corridor after all the much needed attention this week.
One output metric - the only one that matter:
*** Commute time for our kids ***
Not one day magic. Every day - consistently.
@TVMohandasPai@krishnabgowda@CMofKarnataka@lkatheeq That inset on the coverage. Dear leaders - when citizens comes to you with a problem, signaling that you are also in the same boat DOES NOT help, DOES NOT endear you to the public.
Converts a solvable problem into a shared panic. Focus on solving. Do the right thing.
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.

Please support the students in Whitefield Varthur Gunjur corridor of East Bangalore. The kids left home for school at 6:30 am and have been on bus home 2 hours already. Not moving. This is every day. Inhuman. Somebody help.

@ians_india This is called observational comedy. The genre uses humour to highlight racial, ethnic, class and cultural stereotypes. Let people laugh, don’t watch if you cannot process humor. @ians_india be responsible and don’t just publish everything.
URGENT: Please help us locate my brother-in-law, V.S. Balasubramanyam (Bali), a US citizen of Indian origin.
Bali was travelling with the Isha Foundation S3 Kailash/Mansarovar group.
His last known phone location, confirmed to his family by Andhra Bhavan, New Delhi, was the Chinese Immigration Centre at Gyirong, Tibet, on the morning of August 26, when the devastating flash flood struck.
His family has had no contact with him since, and his current status is unknown.
If anyone has information about Bali or the S3 group at the Gyirong immigration centre, please DM me.
Please RT 🙏 and share this widely. @MEAIndia@USAndIndia@Sadhguru@IshaFoundation
Our kids left school at 2 pm. They will likely get home only by 5 pm. Distance 11 kms. This is not one day, is becoming every day. We need a Bengaluru education corridor. @DKShivakumar@DCPTrEastBCP
Urgent Intervention Required – Gunjur Varthur Pathetic Road and Traffic condition
Severe Traffic Congestion and Safety Risk to School going kids. @DKShivakumar
Innocent residents, visitors including young kids, offices, convention attendees at KTPO Whitefield and the entire Whitefield runners group are at risk from unabated pigeon feeding by a few folks. Could we please put a stop to this? @GBA_office@krishnabgowda Ty! 🙏

Kindly help.
