Is there a fear of Dr Ashwin Mahesh ushering in a Coterie rule?

murali772 - 19-APR-2012

I had posted this blog on the Hasiru Usiru Yahoo-group, apart from a few others, which can be construed as campaign material favouring Dr Ashwin Mahesh for the MLC graduate constituency vacancy, election for which is coming up in June.

Dr Ashwin Mahesh for MLC

murali772 - 24-FEB-2012

MLC for the Bangalore Graduates Constituency (election to which is coming up around June) is the only reprsentative - at any level of government - who is elected across the whole city, indeed the entire metropolitan region. This is an office unlike any other, and ideally it should be held by someone who can articulate a vision for the Bangalore city and region, and work to build it.

Would you nominate your MLA/ Corporator for an award?

murali772 - 17-NOV-2011

The Namma Bengaluru awards set off an involved debate amongst the Koramangala netizens on the merits of nominating the local MLA, Mr Ramalinga Reddy, for the award, in the politicians category. Such debates in the open, I am sure, form a healthy trend, and will eventually contribute to better overall governance.

The Facebook page of the traffic police, set up two months ago, is a much-needed forum for Bangaloreans to bring the violator in uniform to book. More than 3,000 have already joined the page to share information and make evidence public. Many others are adding their comments.

The Bangalore Water Index

Neha_Dar - 26-MAR-2010

What is the Bangalore Water Index?

The Bangalore Water Index project aims to develop a means of quantifying the 'water health' of the city. This published index will track a judiciously selected set of parameters relevant to the water domain, using data released by government bodies like the BWSSB, technical information provided by NGOs and research institutions, information extracted through RTIs, as well as crowdsourced feedback from citizens.

Over a period of time, the index will draw a comparative picture of the quality, quantity, accessibility and reliability of water supply across various demographics and parts of the city, as well the responsiveness and effectiveness of government bodies in charge.


Why do we need a Water Index?
