Belgaum getting a face lift: roads, pavements: Belgaum Session

01/05/09 17:28 - belgaumblog

Thanks to the proposed Belgaum session of the legislature the roads of Belgaum are getting a makeup done. I am on purpose saying makeup, as its only make up on the old roads. But whatever it might be its good for all of us. In the picture: The Sanchayni Circle road being re-laid. Congress Road is also being done and some other roads leading to JNMC have already been completed.

Please provide windows/glass windows for upper-berth passengers in sleeper and ac compartments . Insufficient light / wind from the fan would be rectified . Reduces rush down on the way ,enhancing passengers to carry luggages easily if upper berth passengers find their berth comfortable enough to remain there . Please comment ...

Missing the bus

01/02/09 17:59 - sb_ypr

Hi, Warm greetings to all of you for the new year. I have been reading the posts on this forum for a while now, and today I decided to take the plunge myself.
The BMRC has been hyping on integration with other modes of transport right from the beginning. Sadly, they have overlooked two crucial spots where integration would have been of great help, on the East-West corridor.

Moving the capital out of Bangalore

01/02/09 14:38 - ashwin

This is an idea that has been discussed before, including on this forum. I am coming from the view not of the governance structure of Bangalore (autonomy etc) which is an orthogonal issue, but of the power of such a move to take the pressure off Bangalore.

Help - Lets track JNNURM in Karnataka

12/31/08 06:47 - admin123

Want to get deeper into Praja and beyond discussions? Here is your chance. We are looking for some people to join hands in tracking JNNURM reforms and projects at Karnataka. If you didn't know, JNNURM is a reforms-linked investment scheme to help states on urban infrastructure. States get a big fund to tap into, but with a catch - they must commit to implementing some urban governance reforms.

Traffic Policeman menace in bangalore

12/30/08 08:00 - ramasada

I feel the Traffic Police in Bangalore in name of Traffic Management is turning into a Traffic Police Menace. I have seen them trying to catch the two wheelers all the time and taking bribe from them. Is there any mechanism available to stop this. Further I also see them stopping the Trucks and taking money from them.
