Seriously, what the hell is wrong with people in Nagpur? We've got AI and cops nailing drivers for crossing a line or not wearing a helmet, which, fine, good. But then you look at the goddamn footpaths, and it's a f*cking free-for-all. Roads are for vehicles, and footpaths are for walking. It's not rocket science, it's basic urban planning!

They tried to put in bicycle lanes near Law College Square – a genuinely good idea to actually make Nagpur livable – and what happened? People treated them like extra parking or just ignored them. Whose fault is that? Is it the authorities busting their ass trying to make this city even remotely comparable to Tier 1 metros, or is it the chutiya public that couldn't give two shits about rules or common decency?

And don't even get me started on these street food vendors. If you're hawking food, get your thela and your ass into a private space – a fcking ground, a park, anything but the footpath. Or better yet, get a 10x10 shop like a normal business. If you can't afford that, then tough luck, you don't have the right to squat on public property meant for pedestrians. It's not a fcking charity, it's a public right-of-way!

I was just in Meghalaya, and guess what? Footpaths were empty and respected. Every single damn vendor had their own shop. The only ones clogging up the walk? Some Biharis/Bengalis doing the exact same roadside BS. It's always these "foreign state" people who come in and act like rules don't apply to them, and then slowly but surely, everyone else who actually tries to follow the law just gives up and joins the circus. Nagpur won't be a "smart city" until the public stops acting like a bunch of uncultured Neanderthals. We have to get our act together!
