The residents hit the streets and shouted slogans against the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), the city’s civic body. They claimed that BBMP has wholly ignored the condition of roads in the area for the past several years. A resident named Valmiki, who protested at the event, said, “I have been living in this area for six years now, and never have I seen a clear road after a small rain. Even a 10-minute rain makes our life tough as roads get filled with water and nobody bothers to act. The civic body should at least step up and fix the menace in the area.” Valmiki skipped his work on a Monday to protest against the authorities.
