We have been hearing bizarre news of railway tracks being stolen overnight in Bihar. Now, it seems that Bangalore has also experienced a peculiar form of theft – the stealing of bus stands. This may sound like a joke, but in Bangalore, an entire bus stand disappeared from Cunningham Road just a week after it was installed. As the news spread, it went viral on social media platforms, leading to criticism of the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC), which was responsible for maintaining the newly installed stand. Reportedly, the installation of that stand cost around 10 lakhs.
One of the most unfortunate aspects of this incident is that nobody noticed the disappearance of the bus stand until N Ravi Reddy, an employee working at BMTC, discovered it missing. He promptly filed a complaint and informed the authorities.
It’s important to note that this isn’t the first time such an unbelievable incident has occurred in Bangalore. Just a few days prior, another bus stand called “Doopanhali” was also stolen. This pattern raises questions: is there a gang behind these thefts, or is it a failure of the municipality? The police are currently struggling to find answers to these questions.
