The first issue needs urgent attention as few schools lack toilets for students and thus creates an impact on their attendance.  There's also need for basic laboratory facilities so that the students learn science with the help of experiments under supervision. This creates interest among students to pursue the career of their choice.  There needs to be a well stacked library for the students so that they can read inspirational books to develop a good character and become a responsible citizen in the society.   The students should also be provided with facilities to support their extra-curricular activities like sports, dance, singing, art among others. This gives a great platform and confidence for the students to follow their passion.  The second issue is solved when we provide enough opportunities for the students by solving the first issue. The importance of education should be known to every student and their parents because lot of students drop out of school due to financial or social issues. This needs to addressed by counseling the parents and informing them about the facilities provided by government to promote education.  And the lack of interest among the teachers is a well known issue in government schools. This needs quick attention since a student learns from their teacher.

All new layouts including government and private layouts, need to be established with underground electricity connectivity. This ensures that the ground level infrastructure is not disturbed and also this method is proven to be more robust and easier to maintain.

The speed of vehicular movement is slowed down by unauthorized parking on any spot including near the turns, pedestrians crossing every where, vehicles coming in wrong direction, vehicle turning right from the left most lane and left from the right most lane leading to chaos on turnings, very slow movement on traffic signals, un-managed auto movements in every direction. The planned infrastructure looks good on paper but it cannot be sustained without people participation and for that discipline and enforcement is the basic need that is prevalent in every developed country except in India. The master plan should also include a chapter how they plan to handle this basic issue which will increase further with additional number of vehicles on road if not tackled properly. In that case any amount of modern infrastructure will just add to chaos on the roads.  Also, when granting permission to build multistory apartments on narrow lanes of the outer areas, capacity of the roads should be measured and only appropriate number of buildings be allowed or the road capacity should be increased beforehand as it is next to impossible to demolish and residential apartment or other buildings at a later stage and residents have to suffer the never ending traffic blockages throughout the day.

Will reduce night accidents 2.b. Alternatively setup proper signals at major crossings like Kalamandir, JP Morgan, Oriental College etc., to ensure safe crossing for pedestrians. 3. Build FOB at all major pedestrian crossings and setup grills on the divider (at least 150m on each side of the FOB) in the middle to ensure pedestrians will definitely take the FOB 4. Monitor and close gaps forcibly created in dividers by 2 wheelers for a quick U turn. 5. Have small (fixed traffic cone type) dividers setup near turns so that those who need to turn will go into the correct lane and not obstruct the traffic going straight by occupying all the lanes 6. Remove the compulsory helmet rule as it is only facilitating traffic cops to make a quick buck. Taking care of their safety is the rider's responsibility and not the traffic department's. The seat belt and helmet rules are useless in the current Indian mindset. The cops should instead focus on stopping and penalizing those who break other traffic laws like jumping a red light, driving in the opposite lane, etc. as these could prove harmful to other drivers who are following traffic rules. 7.

Parking management is again very crucial. Illegal parking on junctions with underpasses and street markets that are illegally set up on pavements and other main roads must be discouraged with pro-activeness. Also, most new areas that are developed have no proper planning of roads - most cross roads are dead-ends and have no adequate connectivity. There must be properly designed footpaths for pedestrians to encourage local commute on foot for short trips. With dead-end roads without allowance for even foot journey, the most convenient choice is obviously personal vehicles.

All we need to do is setup a barricade  not to let them take that u turn unless they are in the right lane for it.  2) Bus bays: We need to create bus bays whereever they are not there. Using bus bays avoids the blockages by the BMTC buses near the bus stops. 3) Usage of Bus Bays: We are glad that we have bus bays in some areas. Unfortunately  none of the BMTC drivers use them. They fell that it is their right to block the road. Hosnetly if you set right the BMTC drivers by teaching them some road manners, 20% of Bangalore traffic issues will be resolved. Especially the Volvo drivers, just because they have a high end bus, they feel like they own the road. 4) Foot paths: Foot paths should be cleared of all the encroachments.

Firstly I do not blame the government alone for this problem as citizens are equally responsible for this as we do not follow even the basic traffice rules and common sense is just thrown out of the window when we are in the driving seat, but we should also recognise much of the problems need government to take first initiatives.  So what I propose is that, better traffic management and augmented common services are need of the hour.  1. Traffic violations should be severely dealt with with Impounding of vehicle for weeks or months and the safe keep cost added to fines. Community services should be made part of the fine and repeat violators should be subjected to naming and shaming.  2. Methods should be divised to improve lane driving diciplin and specific training and orientation for 2 wheeler drivers.  3. Corporates occupying large office complexes should be encouraged to devise staggered reporting times for employees to ensure less number of  vehicles at a give time. Further Corporates should also be encouraged to work towards a 30% population of employees working from Home on any give day, unless absolutely required to work from office. Having been in Corporates for 22 years I am confident that it is possible if they try, yes it will have some cost impact but I am confident it will only improve the productivity, which effectively can offset some additional cost.  4. Management and coordination of our shared commute modes like bus and metro needs to improve. Metro where available is a boon but Feeder bus and general bus commute still takes a long time. Traveling on ORR or Richmond road averages between 5-10kms/hr most of t he time during the day, this needs to improve dramatically.  5. Quality of roads are PATHETIC.  However to be positive I believe white topping should improve situation and needs to be done much faster pace, plastic based mix for interior roads should become a norm.

These cables are laid either by cable TV operators or internet companies. Cables are haphazardly pulled through tree tops and telephone/electric posts to houses/buildings.
