Government is formulating a law to ban bike taxis under pressure from the auto mafia. Fair enough, nurture your vote bank if you want.

But don’t destroy public transport in the process. Bengaluru’s biggest mobility crisis today is not bike taxis. It is the complete absence of reliable last mile connectivity. When people have no viable option to cover the final 3 to 5 km, they end up using personal cars, adding thousands of extra vehicles to already choked roads.

It is devastating to read that a 30-year-old techie has lost his life simply because our roads are unfit for travel. This isn't an "accident"; it is a systemic failure.

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?

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:

A viral video from Panathur shows techies navigating trenches like dirt bikers on their way to work. This isn't an adventure park; it's a daily commute in India's Silicon Valley.

Bengaluru is known for its innovation, but the Garbage Dumping Festival (or Kasa Suriyuva Habba) takes it to a new level. The Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) and BSWML have launched a campaign where garbage dumped on the streets is collected and returned right back to the doorstep of the offender.

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."

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."
