India, Aug. 3 -- A Bengaluru-based doctor's scathing critique of the city's failing civic infrastructure has struck a chord with thousands of residents fed up with endless traffic snarls and neglected roads. Dr Nandita Iyer, visibly frustrated after being stuck in traffic for nearly three hours to cover just 15 km via Varthur, took to social media to call out what she described as "total civic chaos" in India's tech capital.

"Bengaluru has the highest road tax in India - and also the highest suffering on the road," Dr Iyer wrote in a strongly worded post. "Giant pothole-ridden roads, endless bottlenecks, zero traffic policing, and rampant wrong-side driving. It's heartbreaking and disappointing."

Her post, shared on X, quickly resonated...
