Belgaum is going to have a task force for beautification and cleanliness, I would appeal you all to put in your valuable comments information or even pictures which would help the government bodies to look up on and do the needful, this task force should be people driven, should be propagated to collages youth forums. I request all Belgaumites from respective areas need to put in their comments, picture and valuable thoughts to enhance the effectiveness of the task force, the future movement should be based on Peoples agendas. I have few comments to share and apply All the boards should be in Kannada, Marathi and English, because Belgaum is a cosmopolitan city, I appeal KRV activist to respect value for living and respect for Human beings and Belgaumites, Respect for your fellow neighbors no matter Who they are Kannada Marathi Urdu or any other language. The fort at Belgaum entrance is at Mess create a small city private terminal for Buses and with proper infrastructure like landscape garden and also the small dwellers hawkers can have galas with much better waste disposal facility, who are now encroaching the road side areas at Bus stand. The Belgaum bus stand needs to be revived. Move the divisional workshop (Main depot no 1) to outskirts and expand the bus station with more platforms. Connect a foot over bridge with city bus station. BUDA should take control of uneven growth of New Gandhi nagar towards Railway track. In addition, make a proper plan for sanitation and water, draining. BUDA and the city corporation should look at maintaining the play gardens and parks much more nicely may be with the help of a public private partnership. Float a green earth policy, plant at least one tree a month in your locality, have public youth forums in doing so. For this involvement of school children and making them understand from a tender age can have good impact on them and also as a society as a whole. Move the vegetable wholesale market near fort and one behind Sankam residencey to APMC, with proper infrastructure or to the Proposed Food and Agriculture Park at Belgaum. The Vaccine Depot is being created into natures paradise add up recreation facilities for children like toy train and boating, bird watching. Hope this happens in reality and not only on paper. We have good number of MLA’s and MP’s but Belgaum Gokak road, which starts from Mahantesh Nagr is in total mess the Belgaum task force should see to make four lane city access road till Ramteerth or Ashte. The Belgaum cantonment board should widen the roads with divider in-between, Sanchayani circles to Station cross. Also should be come part of this task force. The worst roads this time are in parts governed by the Cantonment like Congress road and interior roads of camp are all in very bad shape, something needs to be done very urgently there. There is much more, active people have knowledge and info pertaining to their respective areas and also nitty gritties of their localities so do come forward share and we would take them to government bodies, I 100% aliases with my blog buddy UkMaD and his blog Belgaumblog.com for his “Brand Belgaum” concept and I hope it would start from here. If all this happens in time, then “Brand Belgaum” would be successful. Put your hands together, Come out and say “ I am a Belgaumite” and I am for “Brand Belgaum”.

ssheragu Hello to be frank I have not visited Belgaum but I can give a few general tips 1. to avoid traffic jams, strict segregation of residential & commercial areas and compulsory adherence to the same 2. shifting all the business & shopping activities to a separate area like downtown area in US cities 3. having a few shopping complexes with LARGE PARKING SPACES near residential layouts catering to everyday needs like food, medicines, etc. as in US cities 4. shifting & location of INDUSTRES exclusively in INDUSTRIAL ESTATS 5. identifying 3 or 4 TOTALLY SIGNAL FREE cemented wide roads (with 4 lanes on each side) in N-S & E-W directions for traffic 6. cementing all roads 7. provision of signals only in downtown areas and provdidng UNDERPASSES for pedestrians and UNDERPASSES or FLYOVERS for traffic (FLYOVERS & UNDERPASSES should be constructed in such a way that they do not spoil the aesthetcs) 8. laying of all TV cables, water lines, drainage & power lines (depending upon feasbility) underground 9. separate areas to be identfied for hawkers in all areas and pedestrian paths to be made free for pedestrians 10. no telephone juncton boxes or transformer boxes to clutter roads or pedestrian paths; these should be located in a separate site in each layout 11. an army of cleaners should be formed to ensure cleanliness of residential layouts & business establishments; these cleaners should be called as HEALTH INSPECTORS; they should be given full protective gear while cleaning; there minimum entry salary should be equivalent to that of an engineer; they should be treated with respect & not contempt 12. all houses and business establishments should be fined heavily if garbage is found in front or around their houses; 13. all houses & business establishments should hand overtheir garbage on a specified time & day to these HEALTH INSPECTORS 14. there should be a SANITATION PLANT in each layout and area and treat garabge and organic waste of that residential layout or area and convert them into fertilizers. 15. this type of army of HEALTH INSPECTORS and SANITATION PLANTS can be entrusted to IT comapnies or a new company can be flotaed I hope that you find these comments useful & we can all strive to implement. thanks Srinath Heragu
