High Court Rejects Gated Community Notion for Public Roads

In a groundbreaking decision, the Karnataka High Court has dismissed the notion of gated communities influencing public roads. The verdict emphasises that roads remain inclusive, accessible to all citizens rather than exclusive to local residents. This ruling holds significant implications for urban planning and community development, reinforcing the public nature of essential infrastructure.

The court's judgment is a response to the increasing trend of communities attempting to restrict access to roads, raising concerns about societal division.

By affirming the open nature of roads, the decision promotes a more inclusive and equitable urban environment. This legal precedent challenges the perception of privately controlled thoroughfares within residential areas.

The verdict encourages a broader discussion on the balance between community autonomy and public accessibility in urban planning. It marks a crucial moment in redefining the dynamics between private and public spaces in our cities.

Creativity is for Humans, Productivity is for Robots!

On most construction sites, the rhythm of progress is measured by the clang of steel, the hum of machinery and the sweat of thousands. But increasingly, new sounds are entering the mix: the quiet efficiency of algorithms, the hum of drones overhead, and the precision of robotic arms at work. Behind the concrete and cables, an invisible force is taking hold: data.
