Canadian man flags Bengaluru’s broken footpaths, cracked pavements: ‘Like asteroid collided with Earth’

Canadian vlogger Caleb Friesen has drawn attention to the poor condition of Bengaluru's footpaths, describing the damaged pavement as "about to snap in half" during a recent video. The footage, shared on social media, showcased crumbling sections, debris, and a sizable hole that Friesen likened to an asteroid impact. Friesen, known for his videos on India's development and technology, criticized the city's infrastructure, noting that the condition of Bengaluru's footpaths, a prominent tech hub, was disappointing.

Despite the otherwise innovative reputation of the city, the damaged pavement and recurring rubble issues highlighted a stark contrast between potential and reality on the ground. The video sparked a mix of reaction, with some users questioning the city's leadership and others praising the resilience and skills of Bangalore residents.
