Bengaluru’s circulation problems have once again turned into an online show. A viral position announcing a satirical package “4 days of Bangalore Tourism” underlined the most common points in the city – Ring Road, Silk Board Junction, Marathahalli and HSR Layout – as if they were destinations.
The former Director of Infosys, Mohandas Pai, shared the image on X (formerly Twitter), expressing his frustration in the face of the infrastructure of the city. The appellant “a sad joke on Bengaluru”, he wrote, “at least we have a sense of humor on our suffering and an carefree government”.
Social media react: humor or critic?
The viral position sparked online mixed reactions. Some users have appreciated humor, while others saw it as another series of PAI reviews.
A user challenged the language of the post, saying: “The joke is not sad in itself, but the fact that he is not written in Kannada could disturb a lot!”
Another user suggested: “If we want to solve the traffic problem! 25 Committee of the leading committee.
Others questioned the repeated criticism of PAI without offering solutions. “Have you published so many diatribes … What is your solution to Bengaluru traffic problems?” Build tunnels, raised roads, overflights, lower passages? Please find practical suggestions, it would be much more useful. “”
Meeting with the Karnataka MP
In the middle of the online debate, Pai recently met the deputy minister -chief of Karnataka, DK Shivakumar, to discuss Bengaluru’s urban challenges.
According to Ani, Pai, who is also president of Manipal Global Education Services, went to Shivakumar on Saturday in his residence in Sadashivanagar. Addressing journalists after the meeting, PAI underlined the need for complete development.
“Bengaluru is a big city, a world city and a scientific city. We need better trails, roads and expansion of the metro. DK Shivakumar assured us that an important development would occur within six months. We are convinced that our concerns will be addressed,” he said.
