BBMPs Chikungunya/Dengue mosquito breeding centre in Indiranagar

09/23/08 08:28 - balu036

The attached video is of a Chikungunya/ Dengue Mosquitos breeding centre at 14th Cross, Indiranagar 2nd Stage, Bangalore 560038, which is flourishing thanks to the laxity of Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (the authority in charge of ensuring public health and drainage maintenance). Water stagnates in this drain and no action is taken to clear its choking. Now it has become a breeding place for mosiqutos. Chikungunya has broken out in Karnataka and it seems BBMP is only facilitating spreading of such diseases.

'Safe Passage' - for pedestrians at K R Puram, Benniganahalli

09/23/08 02:36 - CKannan

"Safe Passage" is about collecting 2.00 lacs signatures representing to emphasize need for safe pedestrian crossing at K.R.Puram Railway, Benniganahalli and ITI Colony gate. Why Signature Campaign?

As we know the gatherings once dispersed the existence of such emphasis also disappears in thin air. Signature Campaign will be in existence all the time for ever. The leaders representation will make the things happen. I am inviting leaders to take this on along with me and be a cause for this Safe Passage of innumerable lives who will reach home safely thanking every good soul who have stood for the cause.

Station and the Airport

09/23/08 03:40 - silkboard

Imagine the noise if our new international airport had no escalators to take you up from check-in area to the departure hall? 'Super shoddy', 'oh these cheapos', coin-your-expletives, or 'like our station' right? Switch over to the City station, and remember how you lugged your stuff up the stairs from the platform to the footbridge and back down again.

We can hear you say - there are porters to help. Why does the airport not save some money by arranging for 50-60 porters? Before this gets into socialism vs capitalism like arguments, analyze this.

'Unique PPP Initiative for Mahadevapura' - Note from R K Misra

09/21/08 07:58 - silkboard

Some like him, some don't. Recently, I met with Mr R K Misra, one objective was to learn about an initiative for development for Mahadevapura area (Whitefield, Marathahalli, Sarjapura etc). At the end of it, I got a note from RK for posting here on his behalf. Well, here it is, unedited. Pardon me if you think this is marketing for an individual's organization or philosophy. I am not endorsing one thing over another. Any developmental news is worth sharing. Whether we like one group's philosophy, or hate an individual's approach, we should be in the know of these "outlets" for activism.

http://www.mid-day.com/news/2008/sep/190908-ashok-khenny-bs-yeddyuruppa-political-rivalries.htm

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!?
