Actually the fact is our Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar told it will be solved within three months but so far nothing has happened and it has became a hell of a road

[tusharkansagara]

Much needed coverage for panathur traffic issues. Thanks for covering it.

[alistationwala]

Shamelessness of BBMP is staggering. They should be made to live in the area they are responsible for.

[gkiranv]

Why infrastructure like roads are not planned before building apartments/offices. That should be prioritized before building apartments/offices.

[UTube]

Those so called brilliant minds #IAS should be held for this. They are there to manage and administer a district. People should hold them accountable for causing mental and physical torture to the citizens. Pathetic situation 🙄

[rinkalsahu]

Bangalore people pay highest road tax for such roads

I remember in 2016 people bought homes in Sobha Dream Acers society who got possession in 2019. It is 2024 now. How much they are suffering each day in last 5 years. The societies in Panathur are amazing but traffic problems are horrible.

The road is horrible. It has been lingering for past 7to 8 years. The condition of existing mud road is also dangerous for commuters. Most of the time people in 2 wheelers slip and 4 wheelers breakdown. Neither the govt nor the MP nor the mla pays any attention

[arpitmansinghka]

Thanks for covering. Its a nightmare to cross this road. Kudos to BBMP

[manojvi]

Good coverage. Keep it up DH 👏
People have moved into this area in droves because it is “geographically closer” to IT corridor. But the “man made” mess of urban planning or the lack of it has ensured that those folks cant access the IT corridor without enduring pain. Solutions are too slow and never holistic, when they do get implemented the problem would have already grown exponentially. This is the curse that our country’s brightest minds, who solve some of the toughest problems for the world, have to endure. Very unfortunate.

Please cover infamous road from Varthur - Gunjur, again we spend 30 mins at least everyday

[SundaramNA]

This is a great initiative. All power to you folks to continue bringing in the agonies that Bengalurians face every day. One of the hell holes of Bengaluru traffic is in the Marathahalli circle and about 5 kms radius from Marathahalli x roads.
Marathahalli signal at KLM mall,

soon a day will come when politicians will say we are not working on roads as we care for your heath and we want you to walk.

[pullareddy]

Mahadevpura generates highest revenue to state exchequer. But, basic infrastructure is missing. No political will to solve this problem. Taxes like developed countries and facilities like poor countries.

[scaratb]

better news here by a newspaper company than TV news channels

[debadattabiswal]

People in Bangalore pay highest tax for road, on top of it politician fake promises a horrible experience !!

[arushsc]

The Bellandur lake bridge hasn't been completed yet, it is barely 50 metres in length
Work started more than a year ago
The new Prestige Tech Park construction nearby is progressing faster

[Saurav_Chanda]

I travel almost every day from this road, and I use a two-wheeler. One of the biggest problems is lane discipline, especially two wheelers. I feel like an idiot standing in my lane and seeing others entering the wrong way and blankly looking at the oncoming traffic as if they will magically disappear!

[chiragmathur]

Even if you are able to cross the railway underpass and the S-Cross, there is so much encroachment on either side of the road that it restricts smooth vehicular movement.
One thing you will find very common in Bangalore is that, the authorities don’t try to solve the issue unless it becomes a total deadlock for everyone and people starts going mad about the situation. Be it Silk Board junction, KR Puram, Hebbal cross road, Ejipura etc.. BBMP and BDA works slower than municipalities of tier 2-3 cities.

[sumit]

This is really shameful. The condition is really pathetic. The commuters face a lot of trouble but the politicians turned a blind towards this problem. It is in the same state from past 5-6 years.
