For school children in Bengaluru, navigating damaged roads has become a daily ordeal that affects their education and health. While main roads like Panathur-Balagere Road have recently been repaired, the sub-arterial roads remain in poor condition, making school commutes long and uncomfortable.
Impact on Students
Children report feeling tired and anxious after bumpy rides that can last over an hour. The jolting motion and prolonged travel time lead to physical discomfort and mental stress, leaving them less energetic for studies. Parents worry that the daily commute is taking a toll on their children's academic performance and overall well-being.
Call for Better Infrastructure
Residents and parents are urging the civic authorities to expedite road repairs in all areas, especially those near schools. They emphasize that safe and smooth roads are essential not just for convenience but for the health and future of young students. The issue highlights the broader need for improved urban infrastructure in Bengaluru's rapidly growing suburbs.
