From Bengaluru's Infrastructure Woes to Andhra Pradesh's Google Deal: Southern India In Focus

Bengaluru continues to struggle with infrastructure issues including potholes, traffic congestion, and garbage management, despite government assurances that work is underway. Citizens, industrialists, and public figures like Biocon founder Kiran Mazumdar-Shah have highlighted the persistent problems, calling for long-term solutions rather than temporary fixes. Officials argue that progress is ongoing, but locals remain frustrated over recurring potholes and delays.

Meanwhile, Andhra Pradesh receives a significant boost with tech giant Google signing a major MOU with the state government, promising a $15 billion investment in Visakhapatnam. The project is expected to create jobs, enhance infrastructure, and strengthen the state's IT ecosystem. Officials emphasized reskilling IT professionals and developing strategic subsea cable hubs to support global data connectivity.
