Another Life Lost to Bengaluru’s Potholes: When Will It End?
Civic Opposition of India, has consistently warned that "Bengaluru's roads are killing people." Their words ring tragically true today.The cycle is predictable: a life is lost, outrage follows, a few potholes are patched, and then silence—until the next tragedy. We demand more than just patchworks. We demand accountability for the engineers and officials responsible for maintaining these death traps. How many more tax-paying citizens must die before we get safe infrastructure? Full coverage. #Bengaluru #RoadSafety #CivicOpposition #PotholeDeath #Accountability #UrbanInfrastructure #Karnataka
It Wasn’t a Protest. It Was a Walk for Dignity.
Civic Opposition of India warns that the sentiment is shifting from frustration to action: #NoRoadNoTax.
The Cycle of Repair and Despair: Is Bengaluru Broken Beyond Repair?
"Even if BBMP repairs a road today, it won’t last 3 months. Why? Because they are built substandard, far below the budgeted quality."
The Bengaluru Techie's Weekend: Recover or Protest?
It is a sobering reality for thousands of professionals in our city: Work 10-12 hours a day, endure 4-5 hours of traffic, and then spend weekends on the streets protesting for basic infrastructure.
Today, the citizens of Gattahalli and Chikkanayakanahalli are protesting against substandard roads that have made commuting a daily hazard.
Mithilesh Kumar, Founder of Civic Opposition of India, questions the sustainability of this model: "How did we reach this point where tax-paying citizens have to fight for the mere existence of a road? Is this the #BrandBengaluru we want to project to the world?"
We appeal to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and the state administration to look beyond the headlines and address the ground reality. Our city deserves better than broken roads and lost hours.

A 7-Year Saga of Neglect: The "Fate Story" of Doddamara Road
It is tragic when citizens are forced to compile a "Fate Story" just to prove their struggle for basic amenities. The residents of Doddamara Road, Rayasandra (Anekal Taluk) have submitted over 35 letters since 2016 to every possible authority—from the Panchayat PDO to the MLA and the Deputy Commissioner.
The result? Zero infrastructure development.
Mithilesh Kumar, Founder of Civic Opposition of India, has brought this detailed dossier to light. It documents a broken loop of assurances:
No Drainage: Waterlogging has completely destroyed the road.
No Tarmac: The stretch hasn't seen a proper road in over 10 years.
Health Hazards: Unchecked garbage has led to a severe pig and stray dog menace.
Broken Promises: Officials visited in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. Every time, promises were made; every time, they were broken.
As Mithilesh points out, "This isn't just administrative delay; it is a denial of dignity to the 10,000+ residents who pay taxes but live in conditions unfit for commuting."
We demand a permanent solution: Underground drainage connected to water bodies and a durable tarmac road. No more visits. We need action.
