India looks for new Bengalurus as its Silicon Valley goes downhill
"The extent of water surface in Bengaluru during 1973 was 2,324 hectares. Over the last 50 years, due to reckless concretization, the water surface has shrunk considerably. Of the remaining water bodies, 98% of lakes are encroached upon and 90% of them are fed with untreated sewage or industrial effluents. Naturally, this has impacted the recharge of the groundwater table as well," IISc's Prof TV Ramachandra had told TOI.

If they buiild more "lake-view" apartments, there will be no more lakes left, not that there are many left.

Pls come to Gurgaon and Noida.
Airports are nearby, infra is what BLR couldn't imagine. Yes polution which lasts for 2-3 months a year. I hope we solve that.
And weather isn't the finest. :(

People 🤮

Equally pleasant like their Bangalore counterparts.
And pls don't get me started on the cab drivers behaviours.

Been in Bangalore all my life. These articles pop up every 2-3 years with some clickbait-y claim and attach IISc’s name to make it seem less click baity. Fact is Bangalore has grown and will grow. Crores of investments are already on the paper for the next 20-30 years. This is just some fresher journalist trying to make a mark, earning some bread. Don’t put off your plans of buying a home seeing these articles 😂

Bangalore is shit 🤮

Hyd is best 😃 thank God no language barrier here :)

@OnaRocketship That's why I live in thane doing remote. Mumbai is just 20 mins away.

Is is like 30% of Banglore 😂

Recently I consumed a post here in GV, it's summary is Banglore is way way miles head of any other cities in India.
Why Banglore is like today what helped and still helping why not other cities thriving like Banglore.
India needs at l...

Why does this city instantly become water logged in 30 seconds of rain?
New to the city and it makes no sense to me whatsoever. Having lived through all major metros in the country, Bangalore feels like a Tier-2 town covered with Tier-1 wrapping paper.


Probably because they built buildings where lakes provided natural refuge to rain water bro.
