Interchange hubs for inter-city travelers in Bangalore? silkboard - 1-NOV-2010
How is Bangalore doing on Interchanges or transit centers?

How do people arrive at the city, and then go to their final destination point? |

The greatest charm of the Bangalore city is the fact that it is the garden city of India. While cities like Delhi, Mumbay and Kolkata cannot survive a day without CNG, Bangalore still has gushes of fresh air to offer. The roads of Bangalore have a cool breezy feel due to the trees around the sidewalk. Unfortunately Bangalore is loosing this charm. |

Hi, There is a huge residential project development project going on near Kannamangala by Defence Welfare Association.

The everyday assassination of Gandhi sourav894 - 16-OCT-2010
Recently the country celebrated Gandhi jayanti. This day hardly meant anything to many of us. Most students and professionals enjoyed their day with friends or watching a recent film.

It is preposterous to see the long queues outside schools in Bangalore. These fine men and women are here for their kids admission into pre-primary sections. This school will demand lakhs of donation, and these parents will readily pay it! Some schools even demand minimum qualification of parents for admitting their wards. On what basis are they authorized to do so? |

New scam brewing at BBMP, their infra website, and a simple advice silkboard - 7-OCT-2010
Recent reports in local dailies suggest that there may have been bogus or excess-spend projects to swindle money at BBMP. Apparently, some works were carried out without following all procedures, and good number of such projects involved road digging or similar work along the Metro corridor (where one would assume Metro itself would have taken up such work). Anyway, nothing new there. |
