“This is a shameful statement by the government. Instead of making excuses, maybe admit that Bangalore has no public transport, terrible drainage, poorly maintained roads and poor city planning. My kids came home from school at 9pm and these guys are blaming the citizens,” he wrote is Ritesh Banglani on the microblogging platform.

An individual wrote, “Traffic police bear the brunt as they become the face of this anarchy when they should be the last resort to react. BBMP owns this mess and I can’t find any statement from them. Traffic police are instead cleaning drains and filling potholes.” “
Another commented: “Regardless of the situation and whoever is responsible, it is absolutely wrong for school children to come home at 9pm.”
A third said: “Terrible drainage, bad roads, bad planning is not something that is only being discovered today. These problems have been around for a very long time. So if such a traffic jam has happened for the first time, it cannot be due to normal everyday problems.”
“School buses and ambulances stuck is really sad,” posted another.
