Ever since the new flyover work started, bikers have started using the narrow lane near the park as a two-way shortcut. It’s a blind turn, and I’ve seen three minor collisions in just two days.

Is the "Public Eye" app the best way to report this, or should we write to the ACP directly? Would really appreciate inputs from people who have dealt with something similar.

Every single pillar and transformer box on 100ft road is plastered with illegal "Paying Guest" and "Tuition" posters. It makes our neighborhood look so tacky.

Went for a walk at Rachenahalli today hoping for some peace, but the "protected" bird area is full of liquor bottles and plastic wrappers. It’s heartbreaking to see Pelicans trying to land amidst floating trash. The local authorities seem to focus only on the paved walking path, completely ignoring the shoreline.

The back alley behind the popular cafes here has become an unofficial dumping ground for food waste and plastic crates.
