The letters are jumbled, the clue is waiting, and the answer is yours to decode. Take a moment to test your election vocabulary with Electoral Scramble. Figure out the word and see if you can get it right before the reveal. Who knows, the next scramble might just stump you!

Let's see if you can get this one! Decode the jumbled letters, follow the clue, and see if you can get the answer before it is revealed. Because learning about democracy can be more fun when there’s a little challenge involved.

Hosur Road Corridor– Let’s Get Moving. Congestion to Corridor of Change
The second audit in B.PAC’s Hosur Road Corridor Mobility Audit series is here.
As part of the Hosur Road Corridor Mobility Audit, undertaken by B.PAC with support from CSR partner Bosch India, B.PAC has conducted a Universal Accessibility Audit of the 6-km stretch between Shoolay Circle and Silk Board.
The audit looked at Hosur Road Corridor as an integrated pedestrian network — examining footpaths, kerbs and ramps, pedestrian crossings, tactile guidance, public transport interfaces, lighting, obstructions and street furniture.
WHAT DID WE FIND?
🔹 12/12 segments had issues with footpath continuity
🔹 200+ deficiencies were documented across the corridor
🔹 82% of findings were rated high priority
🔹 Missing or inadequate ramps and dropped kerbs
🔹 Poorly marked or missing pedestrian crossings and refuges
🔹 Utilities, parking, vendors and other obstructions reducing usable walking space
🔹 Inadequate pedestrian-level lighting in several locations
🔹 Limited and non-universal access to public toilets and transit interfaces
The findings point to a larger challenge: accessibility is not about fixing isolated points. It is about creating a continuous, connected and predictable journey for every road user.
The Hosur Road Corridor Mobility Audit brings together evidence and recommendations across different aspects of mobility to explore how this critical corridor can become *safer, more accessible and more sustainable*.

Literacy teaches us to read the world around us. But in a democracy, it also means knowing how to read between the lines. Electoral literacy is about more than knowing where to vote or how to press a button. It is about understanding your rights, questioning what you hear, knowing what your elected representatives stand for, and making a choice that is truly your own. After all, an uninformed vote can be a missed opportunity, while an informed vote can shape the direction of a community and a city.
This World Literacy Day, B.PAC’s initiative to nurture electoral literacy aims to help citizens move from simply casting a vote to understanding its power. Because democracy works best when citizens don’t just have a voice, but know how to use it.

Hosur Road Streetlight Audit | Findings for Action
As part of B.PAC’s larger mobility assessment of the 6-km Hosur Road corridor from Shoolay Circle to Silk Board, the BMOBILE team conducted a detailed audit of streetlighting infrastructure to assess its functionality, condition and illumination levels. This initiative is supported by @boschindia .
The audit identified several areas that could be addressed to improve lighting and safety along the corridor:
🔹 307 streetlights assessed, of which 209 are operational, while 93 are non-functional and 5 are broken.
🔹 A 1.2-km stretch from Shoolay Circle to Anepalya Junction has effectively no functioning street or footpath lighting.
🔹 40 poles require attention, including 32 tilted and 8 damaged poles.
🔹 Illumination varies considerably across the corridor, with readings ranging from 0.015 to 91 lux.
🔹 Only 20 of the 307 fixtures are directly oriented towards footpaths, indicating scope to improve pedestrian lighting.
These findings point to some immediate and practical interventions — restoring non-functional lights, repairing damaged infrastructure, addressing exposed wiring, improving illumination consistency and strengthening pedestrian-facing lighting.
As Bengaluru places renewed focus on improving streetlighting, B.PAC hopes these findings can support the concerned agencies in identifying priority locations, undertaking necessary repairs and strengthening streetlighting infrastructure across the corridor.
Read the B.PAC Streetlight Audit Concise Report for the Hosur Road Corridor: bpac.in/hosur-road-streetlig…
Better functioning streetlights can contribute significantly to safer roads, more comfortable walking conditions and improved night-time mobility for Bengaluru’s citizens.
