Help Bengaluru map its problem spots!

Help the city administration pinpoint issues in the public streets and areas, by mapping them and presenting. Join this mapping project!

Tired of seeing such garbage blackspots? Unwalkable footpaths? Broken slabs on streetside drains converted to death traps? Construction rubble uncleared for months?

This Independence Day, we are launching a new project by the people, for the people, of the people! This is your chance to support BBMP in identifying the bad spots in the city and reporting them, by mapping them. This data will be shared with BBMP directly and can help eliminate the blackspots in the city, help identify future blackspots, remove the construction debris and fix the broken unwalkable footpaths.

All you have to do now is to express interest. We will send the instructions to the email id you share, once we have a system in place to collect the data. Once the instructions are sent, complete the mapping as soon as possible, by walking on each road and public space in your ward. When there are more than one persons expressing interest in a particular ward, the area could be divided into two or more groups. It will take three-four hours of your time if you have a vehicle to tour the roads in the ward.

This is a citizens’ project supported by Citizen Matters. Join hands, help make it a success!

That’s when he realised how broken India’s railway system is and vowed to fix it. Since then, he has made Bengaluru’s long-delayed dream of a suburban railway, proposed in  1983, as his personal mission. For over 26 years, he has petitioned, emailed decision-makers, met with officials, and voiced his thoughts at public hearings to turn this vision into a reality.  However, much to the frustration of Prakash and citizen activists like him, the Bangalore Suburban Rail Project (BSRP) has seen inordinate delays…

Guilty until proven voter: A Bengaluru citizen’s take on the SIR process

As enumeration is ongoing in Karnataka, a citizen pens his frustrations and anxieties about navigating the procedure and systemic issues.

I have my vote in Mahadevapura constituency in Bengaluru. And like the average Indian who has spent a lifetime collecting, photocopying, attesting (self-attesting now), laminating, scanning, uploading, re-uploading and then still being told “sir, one document is missing”, I approached the ongoing SIR exercise with the enthusiasm of a goat being walked past a butcher shop. Government procedures scare me. Not because I am trying to hide anything. Not because I am not sincere. Not because I don’t keep my papers properly. They scare me because no matter how much I try, there is always something wrong. One document will…
