Bengaluru Launches 33km Cleanup Drive Addressing Neglected Roads and Potholes
Imagine Bengaluru's roads are like your messy room!
Some parts have lots of trash, clogged sinks (drains), and bumpy floors (footpaths).
So, on Saturday morning, people who help take care of the city are going to clean up a very long stretch, about 33 kilometers, which is like cleaning a lot of streets.
They are focusing on the areas that have been extra messy and causing problems for people.
This is also happening because many people have been complaining about bumpy roads with holes (potholes), and the city wants to make things better and cleaner for everyone living there.
Bengaluru's municipal authorities are launching a 33 km cleanliness drive on Saturday, November 15, from 6 AM to 10 AM.
The initiative will target neglected roads with issues like garbage accumulation, clogged drains, and deteriorating footpaths.
Key areas include TC Palya Main Road, State Highway 35, Shanthinagar, C V Raman Nagar, Shivajinagar, Gandhinagar, and Chickpet.
The drive coincides with ongoing resident complaints about potholes, particularly in areas like Varthur, Gunjur, and HSR Layout.
Officials state large-scale asphalting work is in progress, but residents argue issues remain insufficiently addressed.
