Canadian Vlogger’s Walk With Son Exposes Hazardous Footpaths in Bengaluru’s Indiranagar

Residents say the Instagram clip mirrors daily routes marked by broken slabs, encroachments, forced steps into traffic.

Overview

  • Instagram user Caleb Friesen filmed himself guiding his young son along Double Road in Indiranagar, documenting the conditions pedestrians face.
  • He shows cracked and uneven slabs, missing covers, plants and trees blocking paths, and vehicles occupying the walkway that push people onto the road.
  • In his caption, Friesen wrote that footpaths are "damaged beyond repair" and concluded, "Our children deserve better."
  • He noted that Indiranagar still has footpaths, which he said is better than many areas in Indian metropolitan cities where walking is often unrealistic.
  • The clip drew strong reactions from Bengaluru residents who said it reflects daily life, and recent reports did not cite any official response or immediate fixes.
