Total disarray in governance?

psaram42 - 14-AUG-2011

BDA makes a well planed layout with roads for proper connectivity. BBMP has the audacity to issue a khata for the public road to a company owned by former chief minister Yeddyurappa (Sons), who in turn block, a BDA road!

This weekend, I had parked my car in a residential area to goto a restaurant. It was not parked in a driveway nor in front of a gate nor in the slot where most of the people alter their foothpaths to park their car.

Extend K3 service to HSR Layout

tellvkb - 22-JUN-2011

So can anyone suggest this to BMTC to extend K3 service till Parangipalya bus stop.
