‘Project Abhimanyu': Bengaluru Residents Protest Bad Roads with Creative Symbol
Bengaluru residents living in and around Gunjur, Varthur, Panathur, Thubarahalli, Balagere, and S Cross Road have started a protest called 'Project Abhimanyu'. They have started the initiation because the roads in their areas are very bad and have not been fixed for many years.
To show their anger, they plan to give a special gift to the BBMP official. This gift will be made from broken parts of scooters and cars. It will show how the bad roads are damaging their vehicles.
Many people, especially those working in IT companies, say that the roads, footpaths, and drains are in bad condition and it gets worse when it rains. It is hard to drive or walk safely. Their vehicles are getting damaged every day.
The BBMP has told its workers to repair the potholes and fix the footpaths. But the people do not believe them, because promises were made before but not kept. Some residents are even thinking of going to court to make BBMP take action.
The goal of 'Project Abhimanyu' is to make the government notice the problem and fix the roads soon.

Why are residents in Bengaluru's tech corridors not using their two-wheelers?
Bengaluru: In the tech corridors of Whitefield and Mahadevapura, residents and daily commuters are raising alarm over the poor condition of critical internal roads such as Nallurahalli Main Road and Borewell Road. These routes, used daily by lakhs of IT professionals, gig workers, and small vendors, have allegedly become nearly unmotorable. A recent citizen-led video campaign has brought the spotlight on to the shocking state of these roads, featuring broken manholes, dangerous patchwork, and deeply cratered stretches. "One early morning, my friend and I saw a Rapido driver covering an open manhole with plant branches in the middle of Nallurahalli road," said Varun, a commuter. "When we enquired with the Rapido driver, he said he fell because of the open manhole and was covering it so others wouldn't suffer the same fate. That's when it hit us how badly these roads are affecting people commuting without cars." Though not on the main arterial network, Nallurahalli and Borewell roads are vital links. They connect key areas such as ITPB, Whitefield, Old Airport Road, Varthur Kodi, and Varthur, acting as critical feeder roads for thousands of daily users. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play Chess on Your PC, Free Play Classic Chess Install Now Undo However, the roads are riddled with potholes and uneven surfaces caused by poor-quality work, posing constant danger to commuters. While SUVs may handle the roads better, two-wheeler riders suffer most. "About 90% of the IT crowd takes cars out only because of the road condition," said Murugan, another commuter. "I never want to take my scooter out as it is unsafe for me to travel here. So I, like many others, prefer a car." Murugan pointed out that the issue affects not just the tech crowd but also gig workers, small business owners, and low-income families who can't afford a car. "People assume this is just an IT issue, but in reality, it's the poor who suffer the most. A broken road is an equal-opportunity threat, but it hits the weakest hardest," he said. Despite having a WhatsApp group that includes top zonal officials and engineers, locals said there has been little to no action by BBMP. Varun Rangarajan, another Whitefield resident who filmed road conditions to alert officials, didn't hold back: "This stretch is the worst I've seen. The road is never ever in even a minimum acceptable shape. I take the bike on this road to the Metro because I don't want to drive to my work and add another car to the road. But the potholes there make it so dangerous to navigate, and are also injurious to my already damaged back. I don't think lack of money in BBMP is an excuse for this road… show me the money you have, I'll ensure it is done decently." Adding to the frustration is the fact that Mahadevapura zone is one of the highest contributors to BBMP's revenue — generating Rs 1,310 crore in property tax in 2024-25, about 26% of the total collection. Yet, residents are left begging for something as basic as a motorable road. BOX Resident write letter to BBMP In a letter to the new BBMP commissioner, Inish Menezes, a Whitefield resident, has raised strong concerns about the crumbling civic infrastructure in the area. She indicated how roads remain broken and poorly maintained despite the area being considered a developed zone. Footpaths, where they exist, are either damaged or taken over by encroachments, leaving pedestrians to walk on unsafe roads. Garbage management too, she wrote, is in complete disarray, with trash being dumped out in the open and no proper disposal mechanism in place. The resident also expressed frustration over how citizen complaints are routinely ignored, even if posted in ward-level WhatsApp groups or on official portals. Her final appeal to the commissioner was simple but urgent: To listen, act, and finally give Whitefield the attention it was denied for too long.

Three week in, no end to key Bengaluru road white-topping, traffic woes continue
White-topping of an arterial road in Bengaluru, Residency Road, is being carried out by the city's civic body, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP). The white-topping, which began earlier this month as part of BBMP's long-term road improvement plan, was supposed to take about 20 days, according to the days later, the work is still underway, continuing to create trouble for commuters, business owners and the public in Road was earlier redeveloped in 2012 by Jana Urban Space under the Tender SURE (Specifications for Urban Road Execution) project, which introduced uniform travel lanes, wide footpaths, organised parking and a cycle track. Under Tender SURE, roads are designed not just for vehicles but to be safe, accessible and aesthetically pleasing for all users, with a long-term vision for urban infrastructure. The project also aims to resolve the issues of repeated digging for utility repairs (water, sewage, power, telecom, gas, storm water drains) by integrating all networked services in dedicated utility ducts beneath the footpaths, making them accessible for repairs without constantly tearing up the road surface. This leads to lower life-cycle costs in the long run. Residency Road witnesses bumper-to-bumper traffic during peak hours. advertisementCURRENT WHITE-TOPPING PROJECTHowever, the BBMP believes Residency Road needs more durability and is thus undertaking white-topping of portions of it. White-topping refers to the process of overlaying an old asphalt — black-topped — road with Portland Cement Concrete (PCC). This type of road surfacing is known for its durability, longer lifespan and better resistance to water damage, supposedly ideal for Bengaluru's unpredictable weather and growing traffic load. Residency Road is a key route connecting all parts of Bengaluru. To white-top Residency Road, the old asphalt has been dug up and needs to be resurfaced with concrete, along with upgrades for drainage and underground utilities. According to authorities, this would solve long-standing issues like potholes, waterlogging and uneven surfaces. White-topping in progress on a portion of Residency Road. BBMP officials said that the disruption is temporary and the work will deliver a long-term solution to a deteriorating road. The agency said the construction team was working in phases to minimise disruption and complete the stretch within 20 days. However, they admitted that unforeseen underground issues could cause further professor at St Joseph's Law College, who didn't want to be named, questioned the rationale and was strongly opposed to the decision to white-top Residency Road. "It will cause severe traffic congestion, especially with Kamaraj Road already closed. This disruption will negatively affect students and educators by delaying commutes, disrupting classes and worsening the learning gaps left by the pandemic. Spending Rs 44 crore on a road that is already in decent condition is unnecessary. BBMP should prioritise urgent needs and involve the public before making such impactful decisions. Learning and smooth mobility must come first," he IMPACT AND TIMELINE ISSUESResidency Road is a key commercial and transport corridor in Bengaluru's Central Business District (CBD). It is bordered by landmarks such as MG Road Metro Station and Cubbon Park, and connects major junctions that are key to connectivity to all parts of the city. The arterial road also plays a crucial role in the city's economy and traffic weeks in, the ongoing construction has led to traffic disruptions, safety concerns and complaints from local businesses and residents about the timing. 'Why now, when the rains have already started? Why not two months ago when the heat was there?" questioned Kevin Beck, a local to BBMP officials, the work is being done now to finish before schools reopen in June and to avoid further road damage during the upcoming monsoon season. "This is necessary work. It may cause inconvenience now, but it will benefit the public in the long run," said Santosh, Assistant Executive Engineer with BBMP.'You can't always know what lies beneath. If we hit a utility line or drain, we have to stop and fix it,' said Assistant Executive Engineer Santosh. 'But we are committed to finishing before the rains intensify.''To ease traffic disruption, we have implemented a vehicle diversion plan. Notices were published in newspapers, updates shared in local WhatsApp groups and announcements posted on Instagram. Regular commuters were informed from day one to use alternative routes. Clear signboards, banners and route instructions have been placed to guide the public,' said Traffic Sub-Inspector Harish Kumar when asked about traffic disruption.A student from St Joseph's College of Law, located on Residency Road, shared her ordeal since the white-topping began. 'We are struggling to report to college by 8:00 am because of the heavy traffic congestion caused by the road blockage near Mayo Hall. The increased traffic has also raised the noise from outside, creating constant disturbance and affecting our ability to focus in class. The ongoing construction has worsened air quality as well. To add to this, flooding has made commuting to and from college even more difficult and dangerous," she explained. Raw material piled up has created challenges for business owners. advertisementMID-PROJECT CHANGES AND COMPLICATIONSWaterlogging concerns raised by residents and the local MLA have prompted changes to the plan midway through the project. According to Santosh, other BBMP engineers had to pivot from white-topping to addressing the stormwater drain network first. Residents and shop owners argue that this decision to white-top a "perfectly functional road" has led to unnecessary Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board removing and replacing small water pipes with larger ones at the same time has led to further digging and local businesses, such as restaurants, cafs and retail outlets, the construction has translated into falling customer traffic, blocked entrances and logistical headaches. Traffic has been rerouted, inconveniencing commuters, especially during rain. Residents have also raised concerns about public safety, pointing to exposed cables, uneven surfaces and open pits. "They have put the safety sign there, right next to the electrical box," said Kevin, pointing out the error of the decision. Open wires raise concerns about public safety. The BBMP also clarified that it wasn't working on the Mayo Hall Y-junction, which connects the eastern and western parts of the city and witnesses high traffic at almost all times. This complexity has led to the decision to take up white-topping of that portion in a later phase. White-topping work is slow moving. BBMP official say there could be unforeseen circumstances that could delay it further. Interdepartmental coordination also appears to be lacking. With the BBMP, BWSSB and traffic police each playing different roles in the project, accountability has been difficult to trace.
