Sir, Please visit Neeladari Road/ Bettadasanspura Road Junction, Electeonic city with your space suit. It brings tears in my eyes when I see school buses plying over the non existent roads. Lot of Kids, Elders affected.

If you were to do this in UP, you’d be in jail for criminal conspiracy against the state govt. 😂
Please come and walk on my road in deverabisanahalli also.

Can you please come to Acharya engineering college road and repeat your act? May be then the authorities will listen or at least do something. Thanks
