Woman Drops Friend At Airport. Hours Later, One Is In Dubai, The Other's Still In Bengaluru Traffic
Bengaluru's traffic nightmare continues to test locals' patience, and one recent incident shows just how extreme it's become. After dropping her friend at Kempegowda International Airport, a woman shared that her pal had already landed in the UAE, while she was still stuck in traffic trying to get home.
Taking to Instagram, the person shared the vehicles stuck at one place and wrote, 'Dropped my friend at Bengaluru Airport as she was leaving for Dubai. She reached Dubai, and I'm still stuck in Bangalore's traffic. Based on true incidents."
Of course, the Internet and Bengalureans are all too familiar with the traffic chaos.
Reacting to the post, a user wrote, 'I'm not even kidding, this actually happened to me. My sister was leaving for Mangalore, she boarded last minute and she had already reached Mangalore, and I was still on the way home (not even exaggerating)."
Another shared, 'At this point, I would rather walk."
'Honestly, Bengaluru needs an elaborate public transport system or else this will keep increasing," a comment read.
An individual stated, 'You have contributed to the jam by bringing out your car. So, how can you blame traffic? We have strange people in Bengaluru who complain about everything but never leave this beautiful city."
Another mentioned, 'I took a 2-hour flight, literally travelled from another state and guess what? It took me 5 hours just to get home from the Bangalore airport. FIVE HOURS. How is that even real? I'm spending more time stuck in traffic than in the air. It's not travel anymore, it's trauma."
One more added, 'In Bangalore, 1km by car = 3 hours and 1km by walk = 10 minutes."
Bengaluru's infamous traffic problem is so widespread that even top business leaders are addressing it publicly. In May, Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath hosted Police Commissioner B Dayananda and Traffic Police Commissioner M.N. Anucheth on his podcast, WTF is…, to talk about the city's growing congestion crisis.
Commissioner Anucheth explained that Bengaluru's traffic issues largely stem from the city's rapid, unplanned growth between 2013 and 2023. As the population and number of vehicles surged, the infrastructure failed to keep pace. He added that the lack of adequate public transport in earlier years only worsened the situation. Like other major cities around the world, Bengaluru continues to draw people seeking job opportunities.

Despite Visa-Free Entry, Malaysia Denies 10 Indians Over Suspicious Travel Records
Last Updated: The Indian travellers were among 99 foreign arrivals who were refused entry on Friday after failing to meet immigration requirements Malaysia denied entry to 10 Indian nationals at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) recently, despite offering visa-free access to Indian passport holders. The Indian travellers were among 99 foreign arrivals who were refused entry on Friday after failing to meet immigration requirements. According to the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS), a special seven-hour operation was carried out to screen over 400 passengers arriving on high-risk flights. Among the 99 foreign nationals denied entry at the airport, there were also 80 Bangladeshis and nine Pakistanis. The reason for denial was that these individuals did not satisfy immigration checks, including having suspicious reasons for their visit and questionable travel records. All those refused entry were men, Malay Mail reported. 'Those denied entry were all men, 80 Bangladeshi, 10 Indians and nine Pakistani. They were denied as they failed to meet immigration checks, including having suspicious reasons for visiting and travel records," a statement by the AKPS said. The agency further explained that detailed background screenings, travel document verification, and individual interviews were conducted during the operation. Those denied entry were subjected to further documentation processes before being deported back to their countries of origin, following standard legal procedures. 'They underwent further documentation processes before being deported to their countries of origin according to existing legal procedures," it said. AKPS emphasised that such enforcement actions would be carried out periodically as a proactive measure to combat human trafficking and misuse of social visit passes. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
