Bengaluru authorities have cleared 430 kilometers of footpath encroachments since July. This safe footpath campaign aims to create a cleaner and more walkable city. Officials removed thousands of illegal extensions, steps, ramps, pillars, and temporary sheds. The government will also reissue vendor identity cards and designate vending zones. This initiative addresses pedestrian fatalities caused by congested and encroached footpaths.

Bengaluru's missing footpaths hinder safe commuting, forcing pedestrians onto roads and undermining public transport accessibility.

Bengaluru Minister Krishna Byre Gowda orders action against footpath parking violations and illegal construction debris dumping in the city.
