The odd part

The Greater Bengaluru Authority has innovated the 'Urban Trekking' experience where citizens pay ₹130 crores to climb over debris and dodge parked cars on a 'model' footpath.

What happened

The Kanakapura Road 'Model Corridor' project has achieved a stunning milestone in modern architecture. Despite the allocation of ₹130 crore, the project features a unique 'disappearing footpath' design, where concrete chunks and garbage mounds are strategically placed to test the agility of residents. Officials claim the 'patchy' execution is a deliberate attempt to keep the road 'dynamic' and 'unpredictable' for pedestrians.
