Any idea if the pedestrians are taken care of?? If not, we need to immediately get their attention on this!

Illegal driving

psaram42 - 24-FEB-2009

I have wondered many times how people drive in the opposite direction in one way designated roads un-punished. The following article may be of interest in this connection which describes a similar situation in UK.

“Motoring offences are going unpunished across much of London because of an extraordinary loophole.”

 

Car Fuel Subsidised

Naveen - 23-FEB-2009

One of my danish colleagues had remarked that our country, instead of helping the poor & taxing the rich, was subsidising the car users with lower fuel costs since all oil imports were being sold at lesser price than what they actually cost in India.

So said Dr. Subramanya sometime in Dec 2007.  It seems that pavements are optional in Bangalore.  BBMP can spend 100s of crores on tarring roads, acquiring land for useless road widening (check out the stretch just after Domlur leading to Command Hospital), building flyovers with signals on top of them, etc etc, but has little money to spend on building and maintaining pavements.

e-Mail to BBMP (Bus Shelter Design)

Ravi_D - 23-FEB-2009

Prajegale,

Here is a copy of the email I sent out today to commissioner (commissioner at bbmponline dot org) and joint commissioner (works) (jcworks ar bbmponline dot org), BBMP. I know it is probably not going to of a much impact, but thought should just try. Something is better than nothing, right?

My list before the Lok Sabha candidates

murali772 - 22-FEB-2009

While the "I vote, I count" exercise on PRAJA lists a whole lot of issues to be placed before candidates contesting the Lok Sabha elections, I thought, I'll prepare my own list, many issues in which may or may not figure in the list included in the survey running here.
