I have been witnessing the willful act of repeated scattering of nails on the outer ring road (ORR) in Bangalore since 2012. This is done by the miscreants to make money out of fixing the flat tyre caused by their nails at an exorbitant rates. I have been informing the concerned authorities for remedial action but the problem still persists.

The following page will help in knowing more about this menace.

I propose the following as solution to this menace.

(i) Police department should find the culprits and take strict action against the miscreants.

(ii) BBMP to implement vehicles with magnetic sweepers for regular combing of nails and other sharp objects from the road.

(iii)  The authorities should install monitoring devices along the affected areas.

(iv) The authorities should validate the authenticity and regularize the "mushroom" like road side puncture shops.
