We are beginning a major mobility initiative in Nallurhalli, a 2km project to improve movement, and pedestrian facilities.

🚨 NALLURHALLI, LET’S GET MOVING! 🚨
This Sunday, we’re turning an idea into action.
Whitefield Rising and local residents are coming together to kick off a 2-km mobility improvement initiative in Nallurhalli — a community-led effort to tackle congestion and make our neighbourhood easier to move through.
And it starts with 40 metres - SEE THE ABOVE PICTURE!
A local landowner has stepped forward and given up a portion of his property frontage so the road can be widened and made motorable. The groundwork is done. The steel is in place. Now we pour the concrete. 💪🏽
📍 Sunday, Oct 4 | 7 AM
📍 Near Shiva Temple, Nallurhalli
📍 Location: maps.app.goo.gl/4Q1UsJg4PS6nTy…
Come be there as we mark the first step of a much bigger community effort.
Because fixing our neighbourhoods cannot always wait for someone else to do it.
- Residents can identify the problem.
- Residents can come together.
- Residents can make things happen.
This is 40 metres. We’re here for the 2 kilometres.
Come join us. Bring your energy. Bring your neighbours.

Nallurhalli New Temple Road: 2km loop initiative, and a community determined to fix it.
If you commute through Nallurhalli, you know it can feel like playing the live version of Temple Run every single day. 😅
For the last year, Whitefield Rising and local residents have been kle the bottlenecks that make this 2-km loop so difficult for commuters, pedestrians and residents.

NEIGHBOURHOODS OF THE FUTURE
As I said in an earlier post, this initiative has grown to the point that we're now doing several events a week in different localities, and by March or so, we should be doing more than 50 a month.
Do join, there are lots of examples to learn ative stuff. Some of it is activity - like this example below - but a lot of is to lay a better foundation for quality of life everywhere. And in most cases there is participation from public officials too - that partnership is key to accelerating the change we want to see. (notf.in)
This set of images is from Bommanahalli - the initial goal was 300 square feet, but there was so much enthusiasm that the goal got moved to 4000 sqft!

A question for you @GBAChiefComm
Bangalore progressively worked towards teaching its residents about segregation at source. And housing complexes with more than 100 units had to take care of its own green waste.
Now with the new rules, all that has been set back. Having residential complexes engage with a single vendor for waste management in each of the Corporations.
Communities who invested in segregation and taking care of green waste in house have no incentive to do so now! In fact, it’s costlier to compost in house and pay vendor. Worse, no guarantees the vendor identified is actually taking care of the waste as intended.

WASTE SEGREGATION STARTS AT SOURCE!
A cleaner Bengaluru begins with responsible waste management. 🌿
Segregating waste at the source is the first step towards effective waste management, improved recycling and a healthier environment.
Know your bins and dispose of waste IN – Wet / Biodegradable Waste
🔵 BLUE BIN – Dry / Recyclable Waste
🔴 RED BIN – Sanitary and Special Care Waste
⚫ BLACK BIN – Hazardous Waste
Why is waste segregation important?
1️⃣ Segregate waste at the place where it is generated.
2️⃣ Improve recycling and resource recovery.
3️⃣ Reduce the burden on landfills.
4️⃣ Protect public health and the environment.
🌱 Your Waste, Your Responsibility!
Segregate. Dispose. Sustain.
Let's work together to make Bengaluru a cleaner, greener and more sustainable city.

#BusFareHike will give Karnataka's 4 RTCs ~₹1,200cr/yr:
BMTC ₹400 cr
Others ₹800cr
Shakti outlay may rise by ~₹1,000cr.
But...
Govt never fully reimbursed RTCs for the scheme.
Against actual exp. of ₹22,957cr, gave only ₹16,594cr.
Govt thinks scheme Nos. are inflated!

As per the rule, public parks are not to be rented out for commercial use. See this clipping of @Captain_Mani72 stepping in to stop a rental.
However, this rule is not being follows at Inner Circle Park which is regularly rented out for events - THE ONLY PROPER PARK IN THE recracker vendor is renting for Diwali 😢
@BECCUPDATES - can we ensure that Public Parks remain open for use by all residents, during the designated hours. And it’s not restricted due to vendor events.

Excellent news for this whole area - Varthur, Gunjur, Dommasandra, Attibele - that have been suffering for more than a decade !
Anyone who has not traveled this area will find it hard to believe that the conditions are as bad as they are.

In a boost to Bengaluru's long pending SH-35, Karnataka Cabinet has approved an additional ₹1,118 crore to complete 134-km road connecting Attibele, Sarjapur, Dommasandra, Gunjur, Varthur, Whitefield, airport & Nelamangala.
Sanctioned in 2017 at ₹2,290 crore, project cost has been revised to ₹3,409 crore due to rising land acquisition costs, price escalation, delays & additional works.
The Cabinet has now approved additional allocation, while expressing displeasure over the delays & directing officials to expedite the work.

Crazy. Stay safe out there.
A chain-snatching attempt turned violent in Bengaluru's Indiranagar area after a man identified as Prabhu Raj allegedly grabbed a woman's neck and threatened to kill her when she refused to hand over her gold chain. Locals intervened, rescued the woman and caught the accused to the police. The woman is safe and suffered no injuries. The incident took place on October 31.

Monday on the road! Not quite so blue! This morning, 19 of 61 routes reached school after the 7:30 a.m. bell. The typical delay was 4 minutes; the longest, 9. Average ride: 60 minutes.
This evening, only 3 of 61 routes ran behind target—the fewest since 15 October. Average ride: y evening: 24 routes behind target, with an average ride of 79 minutes.
Today: 3 routes behind, with an average ride of 59 minutes.
Same road. A very different evening.
Thank you to everyone working to keep us moving. Better days are possible. Let’s make them the everyday.
And a happy note: our After School Sports schedule resumed today
And I got home in 40 min! Was super happy to see the road at Varthur getting wider
Tomorrow, a new series begins: Behind the Classroom Door—the journeys our teachers make to educate and nurture our future.
