Electronics City, Bengaluru – Once designed to be a pedestrian-friendly tech hub, Electronics City is now becoming increasingly unsafe for those on foot. A rising number of footpaths across Phase I and Phase II are either encroached by street vendors or completely missing, forcing pedestrians to walk on busy roads.
Areas like Wipro Gate, Neeladri Road, and the stretch near Infosys Gate have become particularly hazardous.What was once a planned layout has now been taken over by unregulated vending carts, parked vehicles, and construction debris. Parents, senior citizens, and differently abled residents are most affected. With the onset of the rainy season, conditions have worsened, making walking even more dangerous due to slippery roads and stagnant water. ECC urges civic bodies to take swift and firm action to restore safety and accessibility to Electronics City’s walkways.
