Today's reports on the dangerous condition of roads outside the Google office in Bengaluru expose the grim reality of our so-called "IT Corridor."

We pay the highest taxes, yet our roads crumble within 15 days. When we try to protest, the police stop us. When we raise our voices, the government brands it as "blackmail." Civic Opposition of India, asks the question on every resident's mind: 

It is ironic that outside one of the world’s most advanced tech campuses, the physical infrastructure is in the stone age. A recent viral video has exposed the shocking state of roads outside Google’s Bengaluru office—riddled with potholes, broken footpaths, and dangerous craters.

A recent report by Curly Tales has sparked a necessary conversation about the state of our city's infrastructure. The road outside the Google office—often cited as the "Pride of Bengaluru"—is currently defined by broken footpaths and dangerous encroachments. Civic Opposition of India (previously Citizens Movement) believes this is symptomatic of a larger governance failure. According to them, "When the roads leading to global tech giants are described as 'really pathetic' by citizens, it damages 'Brand Bengaluru' far more than any policy change. We need basic walkability, not just high-rise glass facades."

It is alarming to see that a crucial 5.7-kilometer lifeline—Gattahalli Main Road—has remained in a deplorable state for nearly eight years. Connecting Huskur Main Road to Sarjapur Main Road, this stretch is vital for commuters in the tech corridor, yet it remains a hazard.
