A viral social media post that praised a privately developed township in Bengaluru's northern outskirts for its immaculate planning, wide roads, and pedestrian-friendly design has reignited the debate on the city’s infrastructure.
An X user who shared a video of the area wrote, “I was in Bengaluru and was blown away by how this 200 acre area is maintained by private firms. Roads were pothole/dust free, with proper markings. Proper plantation with wide footpaths. What is stopping our Government from maintaining roads like this?”

The video, which quickly gained traction online, showcased a neighbourhood called Bhartiya City, focusing on it’s clean streets, expansive parks, and cycling-friendly pathways. The user described it as “one of the most well-designed areas in Bangalore” and added, “I don’t have to be on the road while cycling, there is a nice wide pavement, and I can even cycle into the park if I want to. The vibe here is just so calm and peaceful.”
The posts also highlighted the township’s towering skyscraper apartments, some that seemed over 50 floors high, and its lush green spaces that offer residents a rare blend of urban comfort and serenity.
