Bengaluru is NOT a pedestrian friendly city. Pedestrian injuries and deaths are on a rise. Roads get widened, new roads get built, flyovers and underpasses come up every year, but very few of these projects see the required investment and designs for pedestrian amenities. And pedestrian safety and amenities is one area where citizen initiatives can't do much without support and understanding from government agencies.
Jenny Pinto and others have filed a PIL in state High Court to raise concerns on the matter. A division bench headed by Chief Justice DH Waghela and Justice BV Nagarathna issued notices to the state government, the BBMP, the BDA, public works department, Karnataka Road Development Corporation Limited and the KSPCB, asking them to file their statement on the issues raised in the petition.
We will use this project group as a hub to:
- Share updates on the PIL related proceedings, as much as possible and permissible by the courts
- Get help from the larger Praja community and interested citizens of Bengaluru in collecting and reviewing material related to this PIL
Please join the group if you want to be a part of the support workgroup for this PIL, and help share and gather information around it.
[Project created on behalf of Jenny Pinto]
