The Safe Footpath Campaign
From July 1st to 10th, the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) is covering 1,000 km of roads across five corporations. This initiative aims to remove illegal parking, encroachments, and other obstructions.
What to Expect
Expect notices to be issued before enforcement actions. The campaign follows guidelines for street vendors and Supreme Court directives, ensuring fairness.
Beyond Just Clearance
Damaged footpath slabs and kerbs will be repaired. The campaign also supports the #1KmChallenge, encouraging shorter walks instead of driving.
Why It Matters
With nearly 30% of road accident fatalities in Bengaluru involving pedestrians, this campaign is a vital step towards a safer, more walkable city for all residents.
