Bengaluru witnessed massive traffic jams on Wednesday due to a long weekend and a bandh called by farmer bodies. The Outer Ring Road (ORR) was heavily congested, with commuters stuck for over five hours. Many people, including techies, office-goers, and school buses, were affected by the gridlock, leading to frustration among citizens. One individual shared how his friend had to walk 12 kilometers to reach home after being unable to find a cab or autorickshaw. The user also highlighted the deteriorating quality of life in the city, even for the privileged 1%. The tweet attracted attention and prompted discussions on the lack of infrastructure planning and the need for more flyovers and free U-turns. Some suggested that remote work options for companies could alleviate the traffic situation. The traffic police department reported that multiple factors, including heavy rainfall and high vehicle counts, contributed to the congestion.
