@IndiaToday@krishnabgowda@nagarjund@Akshita_N Mass transit buses can be made easier, pl initiate digital tickets.
Main roads & areas can be connected via Bus and Metro. Peripheral and arterial roads can be connected via shared mobility systems, as shared autos. Mbikes
Autos make more money and are easier for passengers.
@ShivAroor Tinitin & Asterix- I have read almost all the books of these characters. They adorable, lovable and I could relate to each and every word of the article.
@krishnabgowda Sir, fines are ineffective due limited means & little deterrence. Only solution is to seize push carts & setups. This will require heavy lift machinery & trucks, Operation should be run at night to avoid traffic.
Bennigahalli Metro: all vendors are back. No space to walk
@NammaBengaluroo Good question, will the citizen pay?
Suggestion
- Start with areas convenient to citizens, near metro stations, etc so vehicles parked do not create hassle
- Give smaller packs starting from 1 hour
- Privatize it & parking tickets to be digital

Bengaluru: BESCOM on Saturday undertook a citywide cleanliness drive under its 'Clean Up Bengaluru' campaign, removing defunct electrical equipment obstructing footpaths.
From August 1 to 8, the utility worked on 356 poles, 10 transformer centres & 199 other infrastructure works, besides modifying 323 GS operating rods. It also cleaned 1,730 DTC yards, 411 RMU yards and 383 spun pole/DP yards. The drive covered several areas, including Yelahanka, Hebbal, Whitefield, Bellandur & HSR Layout.

@krishnabgowda A quote from Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru-
Paths are dirty, & tasks are enormous,
But I have promises to keep, & miles to go before I sleep
Acknowledge ur efforts & pray for more power & support to @krishnabgowda
Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached- Swami Vivekananda
A sincere thank you to BESCOM for stepping up for Bengaluru.
Under the directions of Hon. Minister Sri @thekjgeorge, BESCOM has joined the Freedom from Waste campaign and is taking action on the ground.
On August 8 and 9, the MD and senior officers are leading an intensive JCB drive to clear waste and debris around BESCOM’s electrical installations in public spaces.
I hope BESCOM’s sense of responsibility inspires every other agency to look at its own spaces and do the same.
Together, let’s #JustCleanBengaluru for a Better Bengaluru.
@CapitalLens_ Its same with many industries, for shirts it the same story. Average cost for branded shirts manufactured is less than Rs. 350. Its sold by big brands over Rs. 1000.
And its manufactured by third party.
@krishnabgowda@krishnabgowda Sir, many owners are not in town for extended periods; vacant sites become dumps.
Many vendors throw waste in such sites. The owner may be penalized for no fault.
Benniganahalli metro area street vendors are back on the footpath, so it's back to square one
@CNBCTV18News Liked the demeanor and way of delivering with numbers and facts.
Thanks for representing it so correctly and beautifully, @DKShivakumar sir

🌿 Footpath Cleaning Drive
The Bengaluru Central City Corporation carried out a footpath cleaning drive near Gopalan Signature Mall on Old Madras Road, clearing overgrown weeds, grass, and unwanted vegetation along the sides of the footpath.
This initiative is being undertaken regularly to ensure safe and hassle-free movement for pedestrians while maintaining the city's cleanliness and enhancing its overall appearance.
Clean Footpaths – Safe Mobility – Beautiful Bengaluru. 🌿🚶♀️🚶

Bengaluru North City Corporation (BNCC) continued its footpath encroachment clearance drive for the fourth consecutive day on July 4.
16 km of footpaths were cleared across Zones 1 and 2. The drive removed 24 shops, 51 push carts, 90 sheets/canopies, 60 steps/ramps and 86 advertisement boards. With 6 JCBs, 31 tractors and 134 workers, authorities cleared 73 tonnes of waste to improve pedestrian safety & accessibility @BNCCofficial
Not just encroachment removal. We have also started repair of damages to the footpaths to improve walkability. We will spend ₹ 70 CR on repairs to footpaths.
ಕೇವಲ ಒತ್ತುವರಿ ತೆರವುಗೊಳಿಸುವುದಷ್ಟೇ ಅಲ್ಲ. ಪಾದಚಾರಿ ಮಾರ್ಗಗಳಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಹಾನಿಗೊಳಗಾದ ಭಾಗಗಳನ್ನು ದುರಸ್ತಿಪಡಿಸುವ ಕೆಲಸವನ್ನೂ ಆರಂಭಿಸಿದ್ದೇವೆ, ಇದರಿಂದ ಜನರು ಸುರಕ್ಷಿತವಾಗಿ ಮತ್ತು ಸುಗಮವಾಗಿ ನಡೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ಅನುಕೂಲವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ.
ಪಾದಚಾರಿ ಮಾರ್ಗಗಳ ದುರಸ್ತಿಗಾಗಿ ₹70 ಕೋಟಿ ವೆಚ್ಚ ಮಾಡಲಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ.

@dpkBopanna I hope Bennigahalli Metro station footpaths are in his plan. Tin Factory Junction is an interchange for Metro, intercity, and local buses from 5 directions, with very high footfall.
It's chaotic with buses crisscrossing, people crossing roads for buses, parked buses & vendors.
We stand with the government.
The Footpath Free Campaign has officially started in GBA, Bengaluru. Public spaces belong to the public. ✅
@DKShivakumar@krishnabgowda@GBA_office
This is a moment of reckoning for Bangaloreans. If we don't support @krishnabgowda now, we will lose any last hope of revival for the city.
Bangalore's old charm was about its walkable streets and giant trees dotting the roads on both sides. Today it's a dream to find such footpaths and roads.
The only way to make Bengaluru Great Again is to reclaim it's public spaces that has turned into garbage den.
For the first time we have a politician not just talking about it but working towards making the city livable with dignity. We all must support unconditionally...
The Bennihahalli Metro station remains the key cog in the system. The footpaths need to be cleared on both sides.
It is a busy junction for changes for travelers using public transport from 4-5 directions, with very high footfall. KR Pura Metro does not serve buses toward ITI.
Bengaluru Development Minister @krishnabgowda conducted a late-night inspection of Outer Ring Road from Lowry Junction to Silk Board to review the proposed 17.1-km corridor redevelopment & ongoing pedestrian clearance drive.
He said inspection would help refine the project design before public consultations.
The minister ordered action against footpath encroachments, hanging BESCOM cables & poor road maintenance, directed uniform design of bus bays, footpaths and service roads & reprimanded officials over potholes and fresh road cutting at Doddanekkundi, asking for immediate restoration and action against unauthorised digging. @GBA_office
