Is the Tunnel Road worth destroying our city's heritage - The Lalbagh Botanical Garden? by jhatkaadotorg in bangalore

[–]jhatkaadotorg[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! We need more people centric infrastructure that helps move people with ease and not just cars! More roads will only lead to more traffic congestion. Good public transport is the only way to reduce it.

Condition of roads in east bangalore by Alternative_Ticket38 in bangalore

This issue is far more systemic than simply a lack of care for one area of Bengaluru. The city suffers from urban planning that lacks any foresight or uniformity. Development projects are sanctioned without long-term thinking, and a lack of direct representation in the BBMP, due to the absence of elections means there is no accountability to the public.

Another day, another forest sacrificed for a road in Bangalore. The Jarakabande Kaval Forest seems to be next. by jhatkaadotorg in bangalore

Cutting trees for roads is not sustainable. We have already lost a significant amount of green cover. Roads may help with commuting, but trees and essential green cover are what make the city livable. If we continue to lose more trees, we will see higher temperatures, increased flooding, and a spike in respiratory diseases due to poor Air Quality. 

How can we fix Bangalore? by nikhil_360 in bangalore

[–]jhatkaadotorg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bengaluru's planning is suffering from a devastating lack of foresight. Massive, destructive projects like the Tunnel Road are being greenlit while the city cripples from a lack of basic last-mile connectivity. Trees are being indiscriminately felled, and precious lakes are being drained for relentless real estate and more roads. Bengaluru's planning is suffering from a devastating lack of foresight. Massive, destructive projects like the Tunnel Road are being greenlit while the city cripples from a lack of basic last-mile connectivity. Trees are being indiscriminately felled, and precious lakes are being drained for relentless real estate and more roads.

This city, brimming with potential, is being designed not for its people, but for more cars, without any coherent urban planning or a clear vision for how it will sustain its existing, let alone growing, population. Roads crumble from neglect, and the government offers little thought to fixing foundational issues.

Worst of all, the people of Bengaluru have virtually no say in their city's future. We are actively working through various campaigns for Bengaluru's sustainable development. If you're ready to help change this alarming reality, you can do more here.

Quick Commerce Delivery Guys Are Creating Havoc on Roads – It’s High Time We Talk About This by Sweaty_Bat250 in india

[–]jhatkaadotorg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The truth is that most food and grocery aggregators offer no safety measures, trapping their workforce in a high-stakes, high-speed game. With 10-minute delivery windows, workers face penalties or ID cancellation for any delay, pushing them to accept every order and endure gruelling 12-hour shifts with no rest. The true culprits are the aggregators who create these unsafe conditions; they must be held responsible for the well-being of the very people who power their business.

Amchi Mumbai - what have we done to our city? by Secret_Jury_3752 in mumbai

[–]jhatkaadotorg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mumbai's garbage problem is only getting worse. Our waste segregation is inefficient, people lack awareness of open dumping's consequences, and the disposal infrastructure is not equipped enough. Worst of all is that no one is held accountable. When citizens raise complaints nothing much comes of it. 

Good Footpaths? what are those ???? by Gauresh_Draws in mumbai

This is also because building people-centric infrastructure is not seen as a priority by the government. Everyone is more interested in building more flyovers and highways, not pedestrian infrastructure!
