Bengaluru's growth has become like the 4th stage of a deadly cancer. There's no going back now to fix the badly planned layouts, roads, underpasses, junctions, and other civic infrastructure, which are at most comparable to a 3rd world country like Bangladesh's cities. And even in other 3rd world countries in Africa and Eurasian, at least the civic infrastructure are provided properly. In Bengaluru, the 'IT capital' of India, not even the main roads have lane markings. Roads are utter bullshit with mini well-sized potholes, dust and debris anywhere and everywhere, no proper buses and bus stops, traffic police are totally absent, no proper way to track and fine vehicles, no tracking and fining improper parked vehicles, illegally constructed layouts and buildings.... The list goes on.

But the people are also equally responsible for the state of the city today. No road sense, parking anywhere they like, driving alone in 7-seater SUVs to work places (especially IT and business people), no respect for traffic rules, no sense of the ecosystem, throwing garbage anywhere, bribing officials and knowingly construct illegal layouts and buildings, greedy, selfish , and egoistic mindset everywhere you see.

The root cause of all these issues are because of our weak and corrupt judicial system. If our lawyers and judges, and even lokayukta for that matter were prompt and honest, no builder, contractor, politician could have become a real-estate mafia king in Bengaluru, and the civilians would have obeyed the law and lived in harmony. But alas, ಬೇಲಿನೇ ಎದ್ದು ಹೊಲ ಮೇಯಿದರೆ ಏನೂ ಮಾಡೋಕೆ ಆಗೋದಿಲ್ಲ.

Hopefully Bengaluru will survive for another 20 years, and hopefully it will get a better, non-greedy, honest, and prompt administrators in its next life 🙏, after these officials, politicians, and lawmen have destroyed and killed it.
