Namma Bengaluru has the best talent and the best weather but the worst infrastructure - if we fix garbage debris and roads, we can be among the best cities in the world. GBA has a great opportunity to do this. Let’s use collective will to do this @DKShivakumar @BBMPCOMM

Her post struck a chord with many netizens, who echoed her concerns and offered their own suggestions for improving the city's infrastructure.
One user pointed out that beyond government action, civic responsibility plays a huge role.
"Most important is the issue of people's habits—civic sense, traffic rules, basic etiquette & standing up for fellow Indians. Get this right, the rest will follow!"
Others listed Bengaluru's long-standing civic problems: traffic congestion, pollution, illegal construction around lakes and forest land, and poor waste management. "I don't see a single leader who loves Bangalore as much as we do and works like that," one user lamented.
Several citizens also proposed solutions, including free and timely garbage collection, improved waste segregation and processing facilities, reducing packaging waste, promoting biodegradable alternatives, and conducting civic-sense awareness drives in neighbourhoods.
