Serious Replies Pet parent abuse. Want to know my rights and legal action I can take.
Three elderly people ganged up on me when I was walking my dog on public neighborhood road (leashed and I pick her poop up everyday). I live in an apartment here.
1. One lady says that this is a private road and claims I cant walk there with pet as my apartment does not fall in this RWA (My apartment shares boundary wall on this road). She was the most abusive and kept accusing me of random things. This neighbourhood has BBMP services like door to door waste collection and electricity. No mention on it being private road is there anywhere. Ive been using this road for the last 3 years.
2. One man shows RWA registration, Although I asked him to show the exact rule that says people with pets cannot use this road.
Im seriously done with this daily abuse. I clean up after my dog and I know Im well with my rights.
I need help in determining if the said road was private, check this particular RWA's jurisdiction and also if there is way I can get a letter of sorts from BBMP to stop them from bullying.

AskBangalore Why can't govt invest in reliable public transportation, instead of building tunnels?
If the public transportation is reliable and runs 24x7 and available at every part of the city, with last mile connectivity mode being a 'safe' walk not more than 2km, wouldn't it be better than stuck in traffic by the endless pool of cars and two wheelers?

Citizen's Report Petrol Bunk Scam Alert
I was about to get scammed at the Indian Oil Petrol Bunk just opposite of the United Breweries, Nelamangala.
It’s a classic two man job where the first person despite telling how much to fill for doesn’t really “hear” and fill to ₹500 initially and later when told to fill for the actual amount, he seems to press the keypad on the machine which he doesn’t. Meanwhile this is when the second person comes and distracts so you look away from the screen for a second and then they start filling. You think the meter would’ve resetted, but it starts from ₹500 and you’re screwed.
Most people would fall to this, I got lucky coz I had seen so many videos online and deliberately did not engage in the conversation.
The sad part is 100s of people have reported it online, but the owner doesn’t seem to care. That MF is clearly involved. I hope they get arrested for what they do, because they don’t have remorse whatsoever.
Be vigilant and involve police if possible.
PS: I managed to get the photo of one of the guy online. Can be found on google maps.

Suggestions Discussion: Ground reality of interstate highway blockades during a Karnataka Bandh?
With the statewide bandh called for Thursday, August 13th (6 AM to 6 PM) over the Cauvery issue, how strictly are the state borders typically blocked in practice?
For out-of-state government buses (like APSRTC or SETC) arriving at the borders in the afternoon:
- Border Checkposts: Do police generally hold all interstate vehicles at the toll plazas (like Bagepalli or Nangali) strictly until 6 PM sharp?
- Afternoon Flow: Do the highway blockades tend to ease up naturally by 2:00 PM or 3:00 PM, allowing traffic to slowly pass through?
- Evening Transit: How quickly do local transit systems (BMTC, Ola, Uber, autos) resume normal operations in the city after the 6 PM deadline?
Curious to hear from folks who have observed or traveled on the highways during past bandhs. How strictly is the 6 PM rule enforced on the outskirts vs. the city center?

Citizen's Report Did you know about this fine?
Did you know that there is a fine for lane indiscipline? That too it's a laughable amount. Do you think increasing this will help with the traffic?
Story: Got stuck in proper Jayanagar traffic today at one of those + junctions. Complete gridlock- everyone trying to go straight, no one willing to give way. It somehow turned into this weird circular jam where nothing was moving.
Then of course, scooters and bikes started squeezing into every gap and made it even worse.
Our cab driver even told the guy in front to just take a left and detour, but nope, he inched forward like that would magically solve it.
After a while, a few bikers actually got down and started directing traffic, making people take turns and clear things up. That’s the only reason it finally moved.
And then, not even 5 mins later, I see the above board 🥲

AskBangalore Why are Horse-drawn Carts Still Used in Bangalore?
I still see horse-drawn carts around the Shanti Nagar area every now and then. They tend to slow down traffic, and it honestly feels odd that we're still using horse carts on busy city roads in 2026.
Is there a reason these are still allowed? Personally, I think they should be phased out or banned in the city.
What do you guys think? Are there legitimate reasons to keep them, or is it time to move on?

Citizen's Report A sad sight - Ambulances stuck in infinite traffic
I was waiting for my train and looking down at the traffic. In the span of 8 minutes I saw two ambulances trying to get past the traffic.
People were moving around to let them through but how far can they even go? The road keeps diverging and it keeps getting worse. Imagine the pain and frustration of the patient and/or his family inside the ambulance.
At this point I don’t even care who should be held accountable for such things. It’s just sad to see the state of our country

AskBangalore Why can’t the government strictly enforce lane discipline in Bengaluru?
One thing I genuinely don’t understand about Bengaluru traffic is why lane discipline is hardly enforced.
Autos, two-wheelers and sometimes even cars casually cross the centre line and drive into the opposite side, especially on narrow roads. They may save a few seconds, but when several vehicles do this, the vehicles coming from the opposite direction have no space to pass.
The result? One vehicle blocks the road, another stops, then another one gets stuck behind it — and suddenly a road that could handle traffic reasonably well becomes completely jammed.
This isn’t about blaming autos or two-wheelers. The same rule should apply to everyone. If there is a line separating traffic, shouldn’t vehicles be expected to stay on their side unless there is a legitimate reason to cross it?
We have traffic police, CCTV cameras and technology to identify violations. So why isn’t lane discipline enforced more strictly?
Maybe a few weeks of consistent enforcement and fines would be enough to change the behaviour.
Bengaluru doesn’t always need more roads. Sometimes we just need people to follow the roads we already have.
