Bengaluru based on Orr calls a “off-roading adventure” in viral videos, internet reacts | Bengaluru

A resident based in Bengaluru recently pulled on social media to highlight the poor condition of the outdoor ring (Orr) and to describe it as a “off-roading adventure” in the heart of Bellandur IT corridor.

Several users repeated similar frustrations and pointed out the strong contrast between the high-end-tech parks of Orr and its deteriorating streets (X/@amsanjosh).

The user shared a video of the 10 km route and wrote: “Welcome to the off-roading right in the heart of Bellandurs IT corridor. Is this what the infrastructure progress looks like? “

How did X users react?

Several users repeated similar frustrations and pointed out the strong contrast between the high-end-tech parks of Orr and its deteriorating streets.

“We have first-class tech parks on Orr, but at the moment you get out, you will appear everywhere with broken town jetties, pothole roads and dust due to the ongoing construction hills.

Another user emphasized the economic importance of Orr and questioned the neglect: “This 10 km long route, which is responsible for over 60% of Indian software exports, should be the best-but instead it is a main example of political blackmail. It is time to put things right!”

A distant worker who recently visited Bengaluru said: “I work from a distance, but recently. I feel really bad for office visitors who work hard, pay taxes and land with lower back pain due to these streets.”

In the meantime, some users pointed out that these problems have existed for years, with opinions on the government. “It has been the same since the pandemic. The only difference is that people are now loud with the congress government. They were okay when the BJP was in power,” wrote a user.
