Bengaluru Viral Video: Bengaluru commuters are facing yet another headache as the city’s roads continue to fail despite repeated repairs. A viral video has highlighted the frustration of residents over poor road maintenance, showing just how quickly the city’s infrastructure is falling apart. The video, shared on social media, focuses on Channasandra Circle, where a section of the road was supposedly repaired on September 27, only to crumble again within 48 hours. Waterlogging is visible, making it clear that drainage issues remain unresolved.
In the viral post on X, the user wrote, “They repaired this section—Channasandra Circle on 27th September. It’s 29th September today and the road is gone. What kind of patchwork doesn’t last 48 hours? Are your engineers and contractors so unqualified?” The post quickly drew thousands of views, with netizens sharing their own experiences and criticisms in the comments.

This video has sparked widespread debate online, with residents questioning the city’s maintenance strategies and demanding more accountability from authorities. The post shared yesterday pulled 108k views from users online.
"Honestly, tar roads are not good for the Bangalore environment, as they're prone to wear and tear during monsoon seasons since water clogs the roads. The best is to go for concrete roads. Tenderness is a must for all high-density traffic roads," a user wrote. "It's the same everywhere, contractors are not even pretending, it's best not to fill the potholes than trying to fix it and wasting the money," a second user wrote.
"It's quite clear the leaky drainage is the root cause. Unless that is fixed, no amount of patchwork will work," wrote a third user. "Are you blaming reservations for the poor quality of engineers in the country? Do you know SC/ST act can be slapped on you for complaining about any poor work done by our engineers?" added a fourth user.
"Engineers & contractors are capable of excellent work, it is the money that they get which is a problem. The bill amount is different from what remains for the repair work," a fifth user wrote. "It's a never-ending cycle of corruption. The government will announce another 1100 cr to repair those holes patched after a few days. Contractors and the officials will take their commission, the public gets some more new potholes," added another user.
