Residents of Bengaluru have turned to dark humor and sarcasm to express their frustration over the prolonged delay in completing the Ejipura Flyover project, with some joking that they would walk on Mars before seeing the infrastructure project finished.
Viral Video Captures Public Frustration
A video shared by Bengaluru-based US entrepreneur Tony Klor on November 6, 2025, has captured the growing public anger and witty responses from local residents. The tweet, which has since gone viral, features residents expressing their disbelief at the seemingly endless delay in completing the crucial flyover project.
The video shows multiple Bengaluru residents making sarcastic comments about the project timeline, with one particularly memorable quip standing out: "I will walk on Mars first" before seeing the Ejipura Flyover completed. This statement perfectly encapsulates the level of frustration among citizens who have been dealing with traffic chaos and inconvenience for years.
Project Timeline Becomes Subject of Mockery
Tony Klor's tweet included a humorous prediction that the flyover might see completion "sometime low key before 2099" - a clear exaggeration that highlights how the project deadlines have repeatedly been pushed back. The social media post has resonated with thousands of Bengaluru residents who have been affected by the ongoing construction work and resulting traffic nightmares.
The video, shared on Twitter (now X), has sparked widespread discussion about infrastructure development delays in India's technology capital. Bengaluru, known for its rapid urban growth and traffic challenges, has seen multiple infrastructure projects face similar delays, but the Ejipura Flyover has become a particular symbol of bureaucratic inefficiency.
Growing Public Anger Over Infrastructure Delays
The public response to the viral video demonstrates a broader pattern of citizen frustration with urban development projects in Bengaluru. Residents who spoke in the video expressed not just anger but also a sense of resignation, using humor as a coping mechanism for the daily inconveniences they face.
The Ejipura Flyover project, intended to ease traffic congestion in one of Bengaluru's busy corridors, has instead become a source of additional traffic problems due to the extended construction period. Commuters and local business owners have reported significant losses and daily struggles navigating the affected areas.
As the video continues to circulate online, it has prompted calls for greater accountability and faster completion of infrastructure projects in the city. The November 11, 2025 publication date of the original news report indicates that the issue remains unresolved and continues to draw public attention.
The situation highlights the growing gap between urban development promises and actual project delivery in Indian cities, with Bengaluru residents using social media and humor to draw attention to problems that affect their quality of life daily.
