9th May 'interaction' with Metro - who were "they"?

silkboard - 12-MAY-2009

There are reports around about how the 9th May interaction between Metro and Laxman Rau Park and Lalbagh lovers (fronted by Hasiru Usiru) turned 'ugly'. After reading enough on HU mailing list, and hearing a first hand account of the event, I learn that some "special" people were brought (by whom?) to project the other ("we love Metro") view.

Revamp of the Bangalore civic body.

psaram42 - 11-MAY-2009

 Recently we discussed about high dividers and roads being made “Double roads” in a forum. The truth is that, the roads are two way traffic roads by default, to start with.

"Road Dividers" or "Walls"?

ssnkumar - 7-MAY-2009

     This is a welcome move and helps.

Digging of roads and improper patch up

cajalal - 7-MAY-2009

The roads in Whitefield-ITPL area were in reasonably good condition after the last asphalting and periodic maintenance works. However the good conditioned roads were spoiled by the pits digged (and left without properly filling/repairing) for laying pipe conduits (for fiber cable ?) underground.

BBMP elections, Outer ring road and Flyovers Underpasses

Public Agenda - 6-MAY-2009

It seems the Rs 300 crs needed for 10 underpasses to raise money for which GoK formed a Land corp (sell encroached recovered Govt lands and was unsuccessful) in Oct 2008 has suddenly become 450 crs now to be used for 8 flyovers.

Big 10s Backfire !?

Vasanthkumar Mysoremath - 5-MAY-2009

'Wary commuters avoid Big10 buses' - Deccan Chronicle 5-5-09 page3

Purport: About 100 Big10s are not being used by commuters and the negligent occupancy ratio is contributing to further losses to BMTC - not recognised or popular even after 50 days of intro. 

Saving Madivala Lake

namma_nadu - 2-MAY-2009

Madivala lake is dying. I think there is a definite plan in trying to kill the lake. First the hyacinth - i just dont understand why the hyacinth is allowed to mushroom and cover half the lake at any point of time - is there a mafia?
