Heavy toll for NICE drive

murali772 - 18-DEC-2008

Already embroiled in litigation over key issues involved in the implementation of the Bangalore-Mysore Infrastructure Corridor, its promoter, NICE on Wednesday delivered a shocker to motorists. The toll will be the highest in the country and will be in force until December 31 when it can exercise the option of revising it, at an annual rate of 10 per cent increase.

Now its the state fighting against the NICE again. We thought it was all over but problems are back with some other reasons..POLITICS!

Bellary mine owners found it very lucrative to be in power and so does Kheny think. But then BSY felt threatened! 

Why doesnt Kheny fight from Bidar, his hometown!?

not - so - NICE excesses

Should BMIC be transparent and make their plans public?

tsubba - 4-AUG-2008

* Yes. Atleast, make the two Original Framework Agreements and all the maps public. * No. No need for transparency. Just get the darn thing done. * Yaaawn! I dont care either about the project or transparency.
