The tech corridor, from KR Puram to Silk Board section of ORR, employs 9.5 lakh people across 500 companies and contributes 36 percent to the city’s annual IT revenue.
The reactions to his decision have just begun to pour in.
One person identified as Shankar Mysuru had this to say on X.
“Bellandur feels like a workplace purgatory. The roads are a mess, pedestrian infrastructure is practically non-existent, the air is thick with dust, and greenery is a distant thing.

My heart goes out to those who work there, and I solemnly observe two minutes of silence for the brave souls living there.”

Another user directed his criticism at Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar.
They wrote: “@DKShivakumar do checkout how well you’ve governed Bengaluru with infra so degraded, that companies even in prime areas are now relocating away What outcome did you achieve in 2.5 yrs to expedite metro on blue line, to have good roads? Just looting hard earned taxpayer money..”
He further suggested, “We need to come together, and vote for councillors in upcoming Municipal corporation elections who will be proactive, available to pick up calls, and transparent on work going on. With an empowered city govt and mayors elected by we BLR citizens, can we change things on ground.”
