A Bengaluru entrepreneur has raised concerns over the city’s traffic congestion after claiming that his daughter was stuck for two hours on Varthur Road on September 17. Ritish Reddy, co-founder and CEO of Zluri, shared a video on X showing traffic stretching for several kilometres in the Varthur-Gunjur area, as concerns over the impact of congestion on schoolchildren grew.
Reddy was among several parents and residents who called for improved traffic management following the prolonged traffic jam. Several concerned parents have reportedly launched petitions after schoolchildren were left stuck for two hours or more while travelling along Varthur-Gunjur Road. According to reports, Bengaluru Traffic Police sources attributed the congestion to ongoing infrastructure work in the area.
