Take a look at the post

In an X post, a community handle called Citizens Movement shared the ordeal of a techie who returned to Bengaluru after working in Europe. In a WhatsApp message, the techie wrote, “My friends from Europe and the US are visiting Bengaluru for the 100 km World Championship on December 7th! I want to bring them home, but I can’t because the road leading to my house is in terrible condition.”

The techie further questioned when the roads of Bengaluru will become world-class. “I don’t want to show them where I live-it would give a bad impression of India! I’m feeling really frustrated at this point, wondering why I relocated to Bengaluru from Europe. When will our roads become world-class?” he added further in a WhatsApp message to the community handle.

The viral post sparked a debate on social media. Some people questioned the government’s handling of bad roads, and some asked the techie not to defame Bengaluru.

A user said, “People who had reverse migrated are migrating again. They are unable to commute for 3 hrs to the office. It’s not just about the poor condition of roads in #Bengaluru. Traffic, Noise, City always under construction, poor public transport leaves very less choice for a reverse migrator.”

Another user disagreed with the techie and wrote, “This shows the amount of research you did in buying a home here. Didn’t you check the roads before buying? You land up in a remote village and call it Bengaluru. That’s not Bengaluru. Ask your friends to come to Jayanagara, JP Nagara and see the real Bengaluru.”
