Bengaluru: 40 potholes on 500-metre stretch! Traffic, infrastructure woes get worse

班加罗尔：500米路段有40个坑，交通、基础设施问题变得更糟

BENGALURU: Motorists commuting on the busy Bengaluru-Mysuru Road have begun to take yoga lessons. Reason: To beat the back pain caused by potholes! The nearly 500-metre stretch from NICE junction to Kengeri Metro station, which is dotted with more than 40 potholes resembling the surface of the moon, has turned out to be anightmare for road users.

班加罗尔：来往于繁忙的Bengaluru-Mysuru路上的司机们开始上瑜伽课了。理由：治疗因路面坑洼引起的背痛

从NICE十字路口到Kengeri地铁站这段近500米的路程，布满了40多个坑，就像月球表面一样，对经过的人来说，这是一场噩梦。

Venkat, a marketing executive who travels on the stretch daily, told TOI: “I’ve been using this stretch for two years, but in the last six months, the situation has worsened. The problem is so acute that I have developed lower back pain and have begun taking yoga lessons. ”

Venkat是一名营销主管，他每天都要经过这条路，他告诉印度时报：“我已经在这条路上往返两年了，在过去的六个月里，情况恶化了。这个问题非常严重，我的腰疼，已经开始上瑜伽课了。”

The road’s pathetic condition, which was tweeted by a photojournalist, exposed the apathy of the civic officials in Bengaluru. While some netizens sarcastically suggested renaming the stretch ‘Crookedest Road’, a few said Bengalureans were ahead of Elon Musk in experiencing Mars on Earth. “Even if officials fix the potholes following media attention, they open up in less than a fortnight. Things get worse when it pours as we have to wade through the flooded street,” said Bopanna, a business executive and commuter from Rajarajeshwarinagar. A BBMP official confirmed that BMRCL was yet to hand over the road to the civic body.

一名摄影记者在推特上发布了这条道路的悲惨状况，暴露了班加罗尔市政官员的冷漠。

虽然一些网友讽刺地建议将这条路改名为“最弯曲的路”，但也有一些人表示，在体验火星方面，班加罗尔人走在了埃隆·马斯克的前面。

来自拉贾拉杰什瓦里那加的一位商业高管波帕纳说：“即使在媒体的关注下，官员们开始修复坑洞，也无法在不到两周的时间内重开。当下雨时，路况会变得更糟，我们不得不蹚过被洪水淹没的路面。”一位BBMP官员证实，BMRCL尚未将这段路移交给市政机构。

“Shocking n shameful,” tweeted Biocon chairperson Kiran Mazumdar-Shah. Another road user, Jayesh Thakkar, said: “The stretch is accidentprone as bikers come close to big vehicles while navigating potholes. ”

“令人震惊，可耻，”Biocon主席基兰·马祖达尔-沙阿在推特上写道。另一位路人贾耶什·塔迦尔说：“这段路段很容易发生事故，因为骑自行车的人在坑洼中颠簸时，会离得大型车辆很近。”

What BMRCL says

BMRCL officials blamed the mess on a blocked drain at the junction, which they say is affecting the quality of the road regardless of repair work.

BMRCL的官员将问题归咎于路口的下水道堵塞，他们说，这影响了道路的质量，尽管修复工作正在进行。

Karnataka BJP party -Most inefficient. All they want is to be in Power and do corruption. They are not interested in doing any development work.

卡纳塔克邦的人民党最低效，他们想要的只是掌权，然后腐 败。他们对任何建设工作都不感兴趣。

Please also visit the road leading to Nagawara cross while coming from Cross. A 200 meter section would possibly have same number of potholes, nightmare not only for 2 wheeler riders but also for four wheelers

去看看从Hennur十字路口到Nagawara十字路口的200米路段，也有40个坑，这不仅对两轮车骑手来说噩梦，对小车司机来说也是噩梦

No proper electricity… no proper water supply… no proper safety… no refund in deposit… no proper roads.. but still Bangalore is a great place to stay…

没有适当的电力供应，没有适当的水供应，没有适当的安全保障，押金无法退还，没有好走的道路，而班加罗尔仍然是一个宜居的好地方…

It lost its glory after it became IT city and when outsiders came in tons. If these people feel Bangalore bad, please go to some other city and allow Bangalore to regain its glory. Decreasee in population will help rebuild.

在班加罗尔成为IT城之后，外地人大量涌入，这个城市失去了荣耀。如果这些人觉得班加罗尔不好，请去其他城市，让班加罗尔重获荣光。人口减少有助于重建。

Good news to Bangalorean's. Thanks to the Karnataka govt for making trip to Moon very cheap. Just book a Ola/Uber to Wonderla, on the way you can see Moon surfaces every where.

这对班加罗尔来说是个好消息。感谢卡纳塔克邦政府让登月之旅变得易如反掌。只需叫一辆Ola或者Uber，在这一路段，你可以看到和月球表面一样的东西。

It doesn't matter who is the ruling party, the civic and BBMP officials are known for their laid back attitude and zero responsibility.,Whether it's road, garbage collection or any public utilities, almost all of them gets worse because of this mis management.

不管执政党是谁，市政机构官员都以懒散和不负责任著称。无论是道路、垃圾收集还是任何公共事业，几乎都因为管理不善而变得更糟。
