Come Friday evening, Hudson Circle, one of the more congested traffic spots in the city, will witness a peace march of a different kind, where “silence” will be both its method and message.

Green cess

murali772 - 11-JUN-2009

You’ve paid infrastructure and education cesses. Now, get ready to shell out a green cess of 5 paise per kWh electricity. If the Karnataka government has its way, for the first time, the state will levy this on industrial and commercial establishments to raise funds for renewable energy.

Environment Policy for BBMP/ state

murali772 - 30-MAY-2009

Is the state lax about environment protection?

murali772 - 25-MAY-2009
