Govt of India on Infrastructure

silkboard - 19-SEP-2008

Keep digging Government websites and you come across lots of interesting stuff. Wonder if we should build a search engine dedicated to sarkaari websites. Anyway, here is an interesting site: Committee on Infrastructure. This committee was setup:

Metro shoddy too?

idontspam - 13-SEP-2008

They have dumbed down the metro stations originally to make it look straight out of a village. Maybe BMRC is also taking us for a ride. (see the two images)

Need study for metro projects

blrsri - 14-SEP-2008

We have seen many projects which are very ill conceived and never catering to the actual needs. These more to satisfy interests of few people!

Practical governance - need of the hour!

nijavaada - 12-SEP-2008

We've all been evidence to this. All of us might have stumbled upon this at some point of time.

India is a union of linguistically formed states, and hence governance in India is a matter of managing people of different languages/identities. Even though these remain written truths, there're subtle ways in which our identities have been forcibly compromised with, and attempts to mask various identities under one off identity have been made almost everywhere in the past 61 years of India's existence.

General background

Why I gave up on BMTC

namma_nadu - 9-JUN-2008

[Kind of mirrors what so many members here think of BMTC - routing not right, slow, last mile hassle etc etc - here is a real user experience {blr_editor}]

Last week i resolved to try BMTC to commute to office - from BTM to CBD - Ulsoor Road ( or Halsooru Road). I had written earlier to Mr. Sheriff and Tripathy earlier on the pathetic treatment meted out to BTM residents - to no avail. There is not a single bus that runs from BTM to MG Road directly - convenient to travellers.

First - we have 201 and its variants - which are crowded by the time they reach BTM. Requests for a BTM - Domlur variant have been denied till date. Requests for a 'seating only' premium variant have been declined.

I must admit I know not about the authenticity of these images.

Here are some images (credit Skyscrapercity.com) that tell us how our Metro stations are going to look like.
