#Bengaluru’s citizen groups are furious about the High Court order restraining corporates from maintaining lakes being misinterpreted to include civic bodies.#BBMP is understaffed and it still relies on them for on-the-ground information, but MoUs aren’t renewed.

Prioritize Commuters, not Vehicles
#BikeTaxiBan has worsened the traffic situation in #Bengaluru’s IT corridor.
We need quick, effective, and visionary solutions, not reactive bans.
