Pollution in Bangalore, India

Clear pollution to over bangalore nice air no pollution in India. We wanted clear area and country and no mass city please.

Roads are the absolute worst in Bangalore.
A recent report said that nearly 17,000 potholes were present in the year 2017 in Bangalore city.

Dust is emitted from these awful Bangalore roads, which increases Air Pollution, along with the Nightmare traffic.

Ambulances get stuck for several hours in the Bangalore traffic.

Welcome to "GARDEN CITY OF INDIA".

I agree with Anonymous' comment earlier.

The level of boasting in Bangalore is off the limit. The people in Bangalore are living in a World of Delusion.

Just today, the top story in the Bangalore newspapers was:
"A Flyover pillar in Bangalore is decorated with plants".
This is a vertical garden, and a few more of this will turn Bangalore into the earlier Garden City that Bangalore was.
I mean, seriously? Are the people in Bangalore so dumb?

The Bangalore people also believe that these flyover decorations will completely reduce the pollution in Bangalore, and also cool the summer temperature in Bangalore.

Just visit Bangalore and you'll come to know that the people here don't have any Brains. Anonymous' earlier comment has explained the IQ of Bangaloreans.

Even the tree-lined Jayanagar 5th block, does not have any greenery when viewed from Google Maps. It is a complete concrete jungle. The old Bangalore is gone forever.

Bangalore is completely ruined by none other than the people living over there.

IIsc has predicted that Bangalore will become a Dead City within the next 3 years.

I hope that Karnataka does not focus on the growth of Mysore and Mangalore and spoil other places in the State.

I have left Bangalore for obvious reasons.

People do great advertising and Marketing regarding Bangalore.

In reality this is one of the WORST cities to live.

Very polluted and no cleanliness at all. This city is giving good competition to Mumbai and Delhi

To avoid the pollution ,go for plantation ,sapling where is required to planned properly and the next generation will be the safer environment.To minimize the pollution we should work shoulder to shoulder for the plantation,tree plantation awareness to be created from ground level like schools,colleges,institutes be encourage that level. In industries also conduct good programs like Environment and its importance ,sapling .And the best way any of visitors visiting factory through that persons plan for sapling it should be memorable of that personality.Due to metro project in Bangalore catted plenty of tress and it was increased the city temperature levels also.Encourage every body tree plantation,we can reduce the pollution level control some percentages.

Just moved to Bangalore.. In theory it should have been a beautiful city.. Lakes everywhere, still see lots of open space and parks, although in reality all the lakes are horribly polluted, and traffic severely restricts your movement so you really have nowhere to go..

The roads are thick with diesel fumes and dust. You can visibly air pollution in most places. You can't ever see bright sunshine, and it is always hazy. In most western countries it would have been a public health crisis, but here the public seems horribly uninformed, and you can even see middle class and well educated people with their young children braving the roads unprotected, where the pollution is probably several orders worse.

To all posters here, saying ride a bike or go do something, I don't think any individual action (other than go live someplace else) can make a difference, what is need is Government regulation, and enforcing the rules, and there seems to be a little of it.

we will solve the problem one day, try cycle , use public transport and use less car etc .

Bangalore is very dirty place to live. No basic infrastructure, no basic amenities, so many people living here, everyone coming form different places, no one ready to take responsibility for their actions, house owners so greedy. So much dust, garbage everywhere. I developed respiratory problems and asthma.

Started using bicycle for commute this year and realized there are many others like me on the road. Wish this number grows.

Lived in Bangalore past 20 years, yes pollution is getting high and it s not good sign for health, skin, cough. I request to authority to function metro ASAP, everbody in the company should come up with rule to use bicycle or use metro, not fuled based vehicle. Use namma metro to reduce the pollutions. Dust has to remove, BBMP has to employee and serve the panchayath katha to clean, only cmc/BDA/BBMP katha their cleaning not regularly. Garbage has to be cleaned come-up with recycled for export to other poor developing country which can yield further revenue to the government.

Go to Thailand so displined to keep the city cleaned and well maintained, we need to learn many things. Individual state government adopt policy we can have good and cleaned healthy environment

Living in bangalore for 2 yr 8 months, it is horrible in bangalore. Lot of pollution and almost no one is cared about. Lot of people go in cars ALONE, this means just wasting space and polluting air a lot. Government and people together need to fight this problem. If people think selfish then pollution never reduces, infact it increases even more.

I request those who use cars to use them only when minimum of 3 people are going in the car. Also check you vehicle regularly for pollution control in pollution checking centres. I think heavy trucks need to be allowed to move only between 11 PM and 5 AM.

I do not own a vehicle, I use public transport even though it is extremely difficult and crowded. I promise I will remain my whole life without an own vehicle which can pollute, If I must use vehicle then I will use bicycle.

I hope, the people who commented here are doing the things that are Eco friendly. Its been 4 months I brought my new bicycle and using it for office commute. This is really good as it will also provides you necessary exercise. I suggest this to everyone from age 20 - 60 years. If you step up, then only we can change our city. I don't say, you use bicycle every time, at least for 2-3 days in a week is quite possible, and when you go for shopping near by. Think about it, before you comment on pollution and smoke.

Born and brought up in Bangalore,now hate what it has turned into. Garbage everywhere,dusty,noisy and the worst drivers ever.Can't understand why property prices should shoot up for the lousy infra structure,most of the time no power,no good quality drinking water,dangerous roads and drivers the list goes on. I only see garbage no gardens. Recently visited Chennai and found it a lot cleaner and greener. The worst and undisciplined drivers on the street who are a safety hazard to others and themselves on the roads. Thank god I left Bangalore 18 years back to live in Switzerland. Everyone likes to take a holiday here but did anyone ever wonder why its one of the best countries to live in. Discipline in all aspects is what we Indians have to aspire to.

Lived in Bangalore for close to a year in total.
In terms of pollution and cleanliness,it is the worst developing nation I have lived in.Although india is moving towards globalization,traditional social beliefs and caste system is choking the nation. If india does not recognize this, it cannot clean its city up.(among other things...)

BTW, both dissatisfaction and unsatisfaction appear in the Websters dictionary.
As a native speaker,unsatisfaction will be more appropriate since noise and air pollution was just too horrendous to live in the city.

As I understand it,
dissatisfaction = does not meet your expectation (like 3/5)
Unsatisfaction = does not meet expectation at all (like 0/5)
