Did it work for you?

Many of us have been working with various organizations over the many months triggering various pieces of work that are bits and pieces of the overall puzzle. A sewage line here, a cauvery water line there, a transformer move here etc.. As we had mentioned, we had requested BTP to help us with our traffic woes and given various suggestions. They did their study in response and came back to implement some interesting changes. Whether it worked or not, it sure woke people up. Many like it. And many vocal ones don’t, Some problems are real. Children unable to cross a suddenly busy stretch to board a bus. Big Bazaar signal is a mess. But overall has this plan worked and will some tweaks fix it? Give us your feedback here.

SFC Update

The name is a misnomer. SFC is a Signal Free Corridor but don’t assume it is interruption free. Many residents engaged and have had a big hand in improving what was originally designed. Currently the project is not on track due to land acquisition issues around Kundanahalli Gate. Read more. Here is an update on what we know.

Farmer’s Market this sunday Dec 7th at Forum Value Mall.
Samarthanam will collect e-waste at the venue.

Spotfixes galore in the last few weeks. Stay tuned for a full view of them all in the next edition.

How can we improve the traffic situation in our city?

In Sanchar Nagar, Thanisandra, contractors dug up a stretch of at least 150 metres for stormwater drain works. A few weeks ago, a resident slipped and fell into the trench, getting badly…

Broken roads, zero accountability: Bengaluru’s MCECHS Layout faces year-long civic chaos

by Janakiram V October 17, 2026 Civic

Repeated digging by multiple agencies leaves roads in this Thanisandra locality in shambles. Residents demand immediate restoration.

Residents of Sancharnagar-MCECHS Layout in Ashwath Nagar, Thanisandra, are facing a prolonged civic crisis. What was once a well-regarded neighbourhood has now turned into a hazardous zone of dug‑up roads and broken footpaths. Exposed iron rods and makeshift wooden planks serving as temporary walkways pose constant danger to residents. The same roads have been repeatedly dug up by multiple agencies. These include gas pipeline contractors, Cauvery water project teams, Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB), Bangalore Electricity Supply Company Limited (BESCOM), and most recently, drainage and sewage contractors. The situation has persisted for months leading up to a year…
