Canadian vlogger’s post prompts footpath repair in Bengaluru’s Indiranagar

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.
