Whitefield Rising

Thread of threads 🧵 We follow a lot of topics important to Mahadevapura and Bengaluru. For many of them, we do threads, to keep track of milestones and updates. They also provide an archive of promises made, very few kept, and most we are still pining for. And then some. Here it goes.

Is this the way of the future? @BrookefieldsBLR builds, maintains and repairs their own roads. From funds raised themselves.

@RoamRealm Haha! We need based intern here too!

Interns needed to take up this job in Whitefield! @WFRising

I heard Faridabad Intern is doing great job, here is Bangalore series. You see the building next, yeah thats a tech park and look at the streets, India does not need to get bombed to look like warzone, India is warzone. @GBAChiefComm @GBA_office @WFRising @DKShivakumar

Ugadi Habbada ShubhashayagaLu! May all the blessing be showered upon you and your family / friends. 🙏🏽

#MF22K #Yellow line metro feeder via Rayasandra, Doddamara,Chikkanayakanahalli, Doddakanneli to Carmelaram bus stop ! Huge potential as it connects critical sections of apartment to Metro & future Suburban centre! @BMTC_BENGALURU

Afternoon 35 °C. Evening Rain. Just Bengaluru things!

@rckp02 @srinualavilli @ChristinMP_ Best to go through all those small lanes

@srinualavilli @WFRising Missing this in Bengaluru @ChristinMP_

Glad to see the responses. Indeed, there are more women auto drivers today than even a year ago. 3 years ago, there were less than 200 women drivers out of ~200,000 Auto drivers, but things are changing slowly. Several initiatives have been rolled out to bring more women into the mobility workforce - with the advent of electric autos and need for last mile access to our emerging metro network. Now there are at least 500-600 women auto drivers in action and ~2000 women have license to drive autos according to official data. One such efforts is led by @nammasarathi Namma Sarathi Trust led by Sampath, Rudramurthy both experienced auto drivers and leaders of auto unions with support from Meenakshi Ravikrishna. Namma Sarathi Trust designed a program that includes onboarding women interested in this profession, 45 days of field training and assistance to obtain DL at the RTO without middlemen and help find an auto to drive. Some of the women drivers now earn @BPACofficial @RevathyAshok @ragubengaluriga have been supporting this and some individuals and CSRs pitched in with funding for some new autos. You can help too, if this of interest. Since March 2025, 570 women and trans women from low-income communities have been trained by this Trust and obtained driving license as well. But only 170 are driving autos today as aquiring the vehicle is a challenge without CIBIL score. Even to avail the Mudra loan or private financing, down payment is needed. You can support this initiative by connecting women and transwomen interested in taking up auto driving and by contributing towards down payments to acquire loan.

KR Market deserves better. Despite clear instructions last week, garbage and plastic waste are still everywhere. Is enforcement failing or are we not taking responsibility? Either way, littering must be penalised. When citizens are paying garbage tax/cess, why aren’t violators being fined? There’s already enough awareness. Time to act. This can’t continue. @BCCCofficial @KareeGowda_IAS #NammaBengaluru

@JSodeshi We will get there.

@WFRising That will happen only when India collectively realises that the cost of human lives is far greater than what we currently perceive it to be.

Looking forward to the day when robots will be commissioned to do the drain cleaning and scavenging work. And all current manual scavengers are upskilled to operate these machines. x.com/RuntimeBRT/sta…

@osd_cmkarnataka @WFRising @GBAChiefComm @GBA_office Dear Citizen, Can you please share the specific location For any queries you may call - 1533 Regards, Team #ICCCBengaluru

Please help @osd_cmkarnataka @WF_Watcher @GBAChiefComm @GBA_office @ICCCBengaluru @DKShivakumar @dcpwhitefield @WFRising @siddaramaiah @BAFBLR @ICCCBengaluru Please help. It has been more than 6 months. No resolution no help

@ashwinmahesh Doesnt stand to reason hitting apartment dwellers with higher cost just because they are an easy group to reach.

At a time when land prices in the city are sky-high, more and more people are choosing to live in apartments. This 'density' is good for the city's planning and design, and should be encouraged instead of the old 'site' fixation. This goes in the opposite direction, contrary to good urbanism.

If Sumps in every building in the city can capture rainwater,it can reduce urban flooding/tanker buying at scale @revanth_anumula @jayesh_ranjan 800 sft rooftop= 8000litres of water from last two rainy days enough for a family of 6 for 14 days We have hectares of rooftops

NO Politician is botherd abt @KridePrm & #BSRP Y? 1 Reason: @KridePrm has FAILED IN WINNING CONFIDENCE of its patrons-Bluru's Citizens Focus MUST shift to WHAT CITIZENS WANT & Justifying further delays MUST STOP Wen ppl's trust is WON,every1 will take interest. Politicians too

@DhruvView @eshwar_khandre @MBPatil Used to be KIADB land, sold for a meagre amount in the early 70's. Should have always been a lease. They made a killing with the sale.

@WFRising Graphite indua is a Pvt land. So, remote chance. Why not 717 acres Kadugodi plantation area. It WAS, IS & SHOULD be a FOREST & TREE PARK AREA. @eshwar_khandre @MBPatil

Right where Graphite India used to be.

@LF_Kiran @blrcitytraffic @wftrps Agree, this is a mess that has been going on for 5 years. and it @mahadevapuratrf jurisdiction.

@blrcitytraffic @wftrps No action will be taken

@blrcitytraffic why do you trouble commuters from Whitefield. Hoodi junction has been a mess. Now you have made it worse by d latest changes. Why don’t you simply reinstate the signal and ease our pain. Why don’t these mindless changes @ChristinMP_ @DKShivakumar @WFRising
