ವಾಹನ ಸಂಚಾರರು ಮೊದಲು ಪಾದಾಚಾರಿಗಳನ್ನ ಗೌರವಿಸಬೇಕು!

This blog captures a thought-provoking and in-depth conversation with B.T. Sridhar, the former Project Director of the Bengaluru–Mysuru Expressway and current Superintendent Engineer with the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (Kerala Division). Hosted by veteran journalist Gaurish Akki, the dialogue offers rare insights into the challenges, complexities, and public responsibilities tied to India's expanding road infrastructure.

Sridhar shares untold stories from the making of the expressway, including how legal hurdles, village demands, and design adjustments were handled with the support of Mysuru MP Pratap Simha. He discusses the vision of Union Minister Nitin Gadkari and explains how highway projects move through multiple layers of approval and execution.

Beyond infrastructure, the conversation dives into urgent civic issues—reckless two-wheeler driving, rising road accidents, misuse of vehicle lighting, and the growing distractions caused by smartphones and entertainment systems. Sridhar emphasizes the need for safer driving habits, pedestrian respect, and civic awareness.

Whether you're an urban commuter, policymaker, or someone concerned about road safety, this post is a must-read. It’s a reminder that while infrastructure can be built by the government, safety is a shared responsibility—shaped by every individual behind the wheel.

Bengaluru Road Widening Projects: Kothanur-Avalahalli and Kalkere Road Updates

https://www.ecospacerealtors.in/post/bengaluru-road-widening-projects-kothanur-avalahalli-and-kalkere-road-updates

Introduction

The BBMP has resumed its long-delayed project to widen the Kothanur-Avalahalli and Kalkere roads, aimed at improving traffic flow in the northeastern part of Bengaluru. With road stretches passing through key areas like Byrathi, Bidarahalli, and Kalkere, this project promises to ease vehicle movement and reduce congestion in areas such as KR Puram and Hoskote.

Project Overview

The widening project between Kothanur and Avalahalli spans a 10.5-kilometer stretch, with 4 kilometers under BBMP jurisdiction and the rest under local gram panchayats. The plan includes widening the existing road to 80 feet, improving connectivity for commuters.

Similarly, the Kalkere road widening, connecting Kithaganur, Maragondanahalli, and Channasandra, will see an expansion to 45 meters, creating a crucial link to the Outer Ring Road (ORR). BBMP has already issued notifications for land acquisition to resume these projects.

Land Acquisition and TDR Issues

Landowners affected by the project are asked to submit their property documents within 30 days, with the option to receive compensation via Transferable Development Rights (TDR). This project has seen delays due to a scam involving TDR allocation, but BBMP has restarted the acquisition process to move forward with road expansion plans.

Impact on Bengaluru’s Traffic

Once completed, these widened roads will help alleviate the heavy traffic burden on KR Puram, Tin Factory, and other busy junctions in the region. Commuters can expect smoother rides and reduced traffic jams as BBMP continues to work on infrastructure development.

Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma posts poor conditions of the roads, falsely claiming the video taken before Modi Goverment

Factually Incorrect Videos Included in Post Shared by Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma The Chief Minister of Assam, Himanta Biswa Sarma shared a post on his social media platforms, bringing attention to the road development in Assam under Modi government. The video posted by him includes videos claimed to be about the conditions of the roads in Assam before the Modi government era, followed by videos showing the road development projects taken later on under the governance of BJP. https://www.facebook.com/reel/425990996794916 Assam's roads - Before and after Modi Government 🪷 pic.twitter.com/baIwad7Vxc — Himanta Biswa Sarma (Modi Ka Parivar) (@himantabiswa) April 25, 2024 archive

Truth

On research, certain aspects of the video were revealed which may indicate the false nature of the before-after scenarios shown in the video posted by the Assam CM. We paid attention to several details and cues available in the video, which we have explained thoroughly in this article. The main factor that possibly discloses the factual incorrectness of this video lies in the fact that the cues found may be from the time when BJP was heading the governance and not from the time when BJP was not in power in Assam. New car model seen in the 'before' video As noticed in the 'Assam roads then' part of the video, a specific car is shown clearly, driving through rugged roads with clogged holes and pathetic conditions.

The car seen in the video posted by Himanta Biswa Sarma (source: X) However, it is evident that the model of the car shown in the video is Hyundai's Grand i10 NIOS launched in January, 2023. BJP has been in power in the centre since 2014 and in Assam since 2016. Therefore, the claim that this video, containing a latest car model, is from the pre-BJP period is false.

You can see the difference of the car model here -

Source Car registrations indicate difference in time In the part indicating the conditions of the roads before Modi government, several cars with their number plates can be seen. Firstly, we flipped the images and tried to get a clear look at the number plates of the cars in the video. We checked the registration details of the cars whose number plates were fairly visible through vahan.parivahan.gov.in and here are the details we could find: 1. On checking the number plate, it may be stated that the car shown in the picture below had been registered in February 2018 as per the details received on the Vahan platform. This would hence indicate that the video shown in the video is not from a time before Modi government as it is being claimed to in the post.

The number plate of one more car that was seen in the video could not be clearly identified, but the possible details that may be associated with the car also show a registration in the time when BJP was in power, showing the contrast to the claims.

Speculated registration details pertaining to the car above These cues together indicate a possible usage of latest clips in the 'before' description of the road development in Assam instead of old ones before BJP was ruling. Thus, the claims made may stand incorrect owing to the above cues found. Read the full article

Did you know⁉️⠀ The 3KM long A1-A3 Link Road from Chebel to Gros Cailloux cost us, Mauritian Taxpayers Rs295,000,000 💰!⠀ ⠀ We decided to start by understanding the actual literal value of that road, by checking to see how much 💰 money 💰 can that new road hold?!⠀ ⠀ 🔥We started with a few assumptions:🔥⠀ 1. The road is a single lane road (1 left 1 right).⠀ ⠀ 2. The total width of the road is 7m (source: ⠀ https://buff.ly/3c9IKF8).⠀ ⠀ 3. The size of a Rs100 note is, as per Global Average 76mm by 133mm (source: ⠀ https://buff.ly/36cSafp.).⠀ ⠀ 4. Margin of measurement errors at road bends etc are not considered.⠀ ⠀ Total Area of the Road = 3000m by 7m = 21000 m2. ⠀ Total Area of a Single Rs100 note = 0.076*0.133 = 0.010108m2⠀ ⠀ Total number of Rs100notes = 21000/0.10108 = 2,077,562 notes⠀ 2,077,562 Rs100 notes = Rs207,756,200⠀ ⠀ So, the Rs100 notes on the 3KM road only cover Rs207,756,200. ⠀ You would need another Rs87,243,767 or another 872,437 Rs100 Notes to cover the total cost of Rs295,000,000 for the project! 💰💰💰⠀ ⠀ ps: Its all YOUR Tax Contribution money 😒⠀ Source:⠀ https://buff.ly/2KNwuPr⠀ ⠀ #TheLogicalMauritian ��🇺 #Mauritius #Moris #Corruption #PublicFinance #RoadDevelopment #MillionRupees #AyoMoris
