4 years ago we moved back from Sweden to India (Blr). We planned to survive Blr traffic stories by picking the school (Inventure) first & then closest housing society(PLH) near it.Had no idea that still this is how daily life will be @ndtv@krishnabgowda@blrcitytraffic#Varthur
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.

Three Bangladeshis were seen stealing Metro goods at Keshavpuri Mandi.Are they taking it to the lab to check the quality?
Even the dògs of Delhi are not afraid of the lazy @DelhiPolice I don't understand what is the need of police in Delhi when they don't do anything.
Few days ago, common people were being insulted in front of their kids for clicking pictures at Gurudwara by Sewadars. Now a celebrity doing same with total impunity.
Gurus taught us to not discriminate between people. Make of this what you will.
I was ordered by @Lenskart_com to cut my shikha and remove my tilak. When I refused to do so, I was fired. - Zeel Soghasia
This is blatant discrimination and bigotry that goes beyond adhering to some internal memo. Mr Soghasia must be recalled and reinstated. @peyushbansal
सूरत में भी कई इलाकों में अशांत धारा एक्ट लागू है वहां कोई मुkस्लिम दुकान या मकान कानूनन नहीं ले सकता
लेकिन आश्चर्य इस बात का है बिहार से एक मुkस्लिम युवक उजियार आलम सूरत आता है वह बेहद महंगे अवध टैक्सटाइल मार्केट में अर्जुन सिंह नाम से दुकान ले लेता है
दुकान में अच्छा खासा माल रखता है कई कर्मचारियों को नौकरी पर रखता है सबको अपना नाम अर्जुन सिंह बताता है कई हिंदू लड़कियों को उसने नौकरी पर रखा और कई हिंदू लड़कियों को छोड़ने भी उनके घर लेकर जाता था
अब आप सोचिए कि उनका नेटवर्क कितना गहरा है बिहार से एक युवक को बिना लोकल सपोर्ट के बिना किसी स्थानीय मदद के यह संभव ही नहीं था
कैंडल मार्च निकालते हैं गाजा के मुद्दे को लेकर,
लेकिन पाकिस्तान और बांग्लादेश में हिंदू मारा जाता है, तो आपके मुंह बंद हो जाते हैं,
क्योंकि वहां मरने वाला हिंदू है, दलित है...
Respected @narendramodi ji @pushkardhami ji; illegal migrants have made colony inside a National Park in a BJP ruled state. This is Rajaji National Park Dehradun. Please save India before it is too late!
Goons in Bengaluru Show No Fear of Law Early-Morning Robbery at Shantinagar Road
Robbery cases in Bengaluru are becoming disturbingly common, and it is clear that these street goons have absolutely no fear of law or consequences. Even at 4:30 AM, when most people expect the roads to be silent and safe, criminals are roaming freely and targeting innocent citizens.A shocking incident took place on Shantinagar Road, where a person travelling on his two-wheeler was reportedly robbed by three scooter-borne goons. The gang first overtook the victim’s scooter and snatched the key while still in motion, deliberately putting his life in danger. As the victim struggled to balance his vehicle, two of the criminals jumped in, robbed him ruthlessly, and fled the spot without any hesitation.This kind of organised street robbery clearly shows how emboldened these criminals have become. They roam the city like they own the streets overtaking, threatening, and attacking innocent people. Such behaviour isn't just criminal, it's pure cowardice. These goons don't have the courage to earn an honest living, so they resort to cheap tactics and violence.The rising number of such incidents raises a serious question: Where is the fear of law? Why are these goons moving so confidently on public roads, as if no police action can touch them? Bengaluru residents deserve safe streets, not highways ruled by criminals.Authorities must intensify patrolling, especially during early hours, and ensure that such gangs are tracked down and punished. Until then, ordinary people continue to be the victims of criminals who misuse the darkness to commit crimes without shame or fear.

#NoRoadNoTax
After years of neglect, citizens are finally speaking up, exposing the government’s duplicity in failing to provide durable, quality roads. Listen to this aggrieved taxpayer from Bengaluru’s IT corridor. More power to such hardworking taxpayers! 🙌🏻

Another "No Road No Tax" protest in Bengaluru, residents staged a mock "moonwalk" to highlight the crater-filled unpaved stretch near Vagdevi School, this road connects Munnekollal to Balagere. Locals say the stretch has been in this condition for years, endangering residents and schoolchildren. #Bengaluru #roads
🚨 This is what “world-class city” looks like?
Senior citizens and kids are trapped in filth while officials sit in AC offices.
@MALimbavali@GBA_office — get out of your cars and walk this road if you dare. Bengaluru deserves better. 🙏
🚨 This is the condition of Bengaluru in 2025.
But shhh...don’t blame the Karnataka Govt. Just blame the Garbage Mafia of Bengaluru. Also remember London is far worse than this.
