The Citizens for Bengaluru (CfB) has demanded that the civic body appoint pedestrian safety commissioners at the zonal and city levels, who should be tasked with monthly coordination meetings with all parastatals and traffic police.
The organisation, which had recently launched a campaign for better footpaths in the city, held a walkathon in Seshadripuram and Malleswaram on Saturday to highlight the problems pedestrians face. Both areas have been ravaged by several road and drain works making walking on footpaths a hazard.
