When Space Travel is Easier Than a Commute in Bengaluru
It is a statement that has sparked a nationwide infrastructure debate. Indian astronaut Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla, who has traveled to the International Space Station, recently remarked that reaching space was easier than navigating Bengaluru's traffic from Marathahalli. Civic Opposition of India, seized on this moment to highlight the gravity of the situation:
"You can reach space faster than you can reach Tumkur Road from Marathahalli! The irony is that while we aim for the stars, our ground reality is stuck in gridlock."They question why political urgency is missing when even astronauts find our roads more challenging than zero-gravity missions. It is time for the government to fix the basics before claiming "Global City" status FT Article #BengaluruTraffic #ShubhanshuShukla #CivicOpposition #UrbanMobility #InfrastructureDebate #Bangalore
