Residents flag dangerous road conditions across East Bengaluru’s IT corridor
Residents of East Bengaluru's IT corridor are protesting against severe road degradation, which causes flooding and traffic congestion. Local authorities have failed to address these long-standing infrastructure issues despite repeated complaints.
Why it matters
The poor state of infrastructure in major tech hubs highlights the disconnect between rapid urban economic growth and the provision of basic public services.
“When it rains heavily, this road looks like a stream. Due to flooding, vehicles slow down and that leads to traffic jams. It has also become a daily affair for us to help commuters when they fall down from bike due to bad road consitions,” said Syed Ansari, a resident, pointing to the Medahalli Main Road.
The report documents local grievances and infrastructure failure through resident testimonies, maintaining a focus on civic issues.
