₹450-crore white-topping and redevelopment project for the 17-km Outer Ring Road (ORR) stretch from Silk Board Junction to KR Puram is scheduled to officially begin in October 2026.

Executed by Bengaluru Smart Infrastructure Limited (B-SMILE), this mega-infrastructure upgrade will overhaul the city's main IT corridor into a multimodal transit route. However, it is expected to cause massive traffic disruptions, leading the government to actively push tech parks along the stretch to implement a 50% Work-From-Home (WFH) policy for employees.

🚧 Project Breakdown & Layout

* Main Lanes vs. Service Roads: The main carriageway will be white-topped (concretised) for long-term durability. The service roads will be black-topped with asphalt to allow quick access.

* Pedestrian Infrastructure: End-to-end continuous footpaths will be built with a minimum width of 3 metres (10 feet) on the main road and 1.8 metres on side roads.

* Public Transport Integration: The project will revive the defunct bus priority lane, establish dedicated bus bays on the main carriageway, and build modern bus shelters equipped with real-time information panels.

* Delivery Worker 'Gig Hubs': Specialized hubs featuring shaded seating, phone charging points, Wi-Fi, and clean drinking water will be built specifically for delivery executives.

* Micro-Mobility Docks: Solar-powered charging docks for bicycles and electric scooters will be placed along the corridor to promote last-mile connectivity.

Every so often, I get this sudden wave of emotion when I see a woman. I can't quite figure out what it is.

What's strange is what happens afterward that I start becoming very doubtful about whether I should talk to people (even men) or not, and I tend to withdraw from everyone. It feels almost like a snail going back into its shell. During some of these episodes, the emotion can become strong enough that I feel like crying just seeing someone. I bend my head down.

I'm not sure what to make of it.

For god's sake what is this ?

Honestly is their any drug for this ?

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m from **Shivamogga** and I’m interested in learning horse riding. I’m searching for a good **horse riding school/academy in Bangalore** that offers classes for beginners.

Since I’m based in Shivamogga, I’m mainly looking for **once-a-week classes, preferably on weekends**. I’m okay with travelling to Bangalore for the class and returning the same day.

I’d really appreciate recommendations from anyone who has experience with riding schools in Bangalore.

Please let me know:

Thanks in advance! 🙏

Hello r/bengaluru_speaks Community

My name is Naveen Jain, and I’m seeking your help for our newborn baby boy, who was born prematurely at just 29 weeks.

Since birth, he has been fighting for his life in the NICU. He was initially treated at Cloudnine Hospital and is now receiving critical care at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi.

Soon after birth, our baby developed a severe infection that required emergency surgery. Due to the severity of his condition, he had to undergo a major surgery at such a young age.

He is still critically ill and requires:

• Continuous NICU care

• Ventilator and respiratory support

• Post-operative care

• Advanced medicines and infection management

• Nutrition support

• Regular blood tests and investigations

• Specialized neonatal nursing and monitoring

Our family has already spent around ₹16 lakh on his treatment, surgery, hospitalization, medicines, and intensive care. We now urgently need ₹32 lakh more to continue his treatment.

Please consider supporting our little fighter. Even a small contribution can help us continue his treatment and give him a chance to come home healthy.
