Bangalore RTI Namma Metro Complaint Metro Rail
Hi People look at this, can we do something about it? Why do we need to wait for years to get an approval while other states get everything so easily? Can we file an RTI?
Commuter rail could have made bangalore a cheaper place but no a not so densely populated hydrabad can get commuter rail , chennai ,mumbai,kolkata can get renovations and extensions but Bangalore noways.
Bangalore road to Airport is a toll road, Airport is PPP while Chennai airport is govrnment owned and they are expanding it.
Coming to the point -

Sivasailam said BMRC has been waiting for three-and-ahalf years to get clearance for constructing a viaduct above the railway line.Except for the 66-metre span over the railway line in Srirampura near Malleswaram,civil works on the track of the northern line are over.We have written to the Railways to give clearance for the viaduct.We are also awaiting permission from the commissioner for railway safety, he said.
He hinted that the entire northern reach is ready for operations but for the Malleswaram station.It can start from the northern depot up to the station on Maha Kavi Kuvempu Road.

Railway authorities have cleared six of the eight rail crossings pretty quickly but want the metro rail authorities to either go underground or move the sections slightly away from the station. But, it was pointed out that fresh technical and financial issues will arise if the alignment is changed from the proposed overhead crossings.
The green signal came following detailed exchange of drawings and information by both parties.
Overhead crossings
Other places where the overhead crossings will come are at: Line One - Miyapur-LB Nagar at Bharatnagar, Lakdikapul and Malakpet stations. Line Three at Chilkalguda, Alugaddabhavi and Begumpet.
“Metro crossings will be done in coordination with railway authorities as the work has to be done without affecting the train's movement,” pointed out senior officials of Hyderabad Metro Rail (HMR) and L&T Hyderabad Metro Rail, elated over the cooperation extended by SCR officials.

The Centre is likely to sanction Rs 294 crore as grant for drought relief to Karnataka. This means that the State gets just eight per cent of the total relief of Rs 3,605 crore it had sought from the Union government.
Metro phase 2 Stations on Whitefield road

hi, i got a map from bbmp which was forwarded by one of the consultants of Namma Metro. This map depicts the land requirements for Narayanapura Station located at B.Narayanapura bus stop(close to Honda city showroom), whitefield road. According to the map, the size of the station is 100 meter x 185 meters. About 100 houses and a school in B.Narayanapura is facing demolition.
Eventhough large chunk of Government land exists in the close vicinity. BMRCL is targetting a residential area for its staion. B.Narayanapura Residents Welfare Association has opposed the demolition of houses and a school. The residents associations from Ramamurthynagar and Jyothipura has expressed support for B.Narayanapura Residents Association.
The residents are upset that BMRCL has not consulted the residents nor the elected representatives before planning for acquiring land for metro station which will demolish 100 houses and a school
Meanwhile, the works on the Namm metro phase 2 soil testing work is commenced in front of Pai Layout , old madras road. There is a namma metro station near TTK factory which will extended upto Tin Factory. Another station will come up opposite to K.R.Puram Railway station(in the lowry school land ) . As the metro work has started on white field road, one can imagine the traffic blocks in the morning and evenings
if any has more info on this, please share

I am very surprised by your comment. Are you sure of these numbers - 100 houses and a school. Going by the track record of demolitions in Metro work so far, that number would be a real surprise. According to the BMRCL website, total number of properties possessed and demolished in all phases of metro work so far is 852. So 100 for a single station seems outrageous.
Are you sure you have accounted for the fact that the metro stations are elevated? BTW, can you scan and upload a copy of the documents in your posession?

having a minister in the railways and not using his good offices is literally a crime!
All BMRCL needs to do is involve him much more in the activities of Namma Metro(invite him to inagurate something) and place all these issues to him infront of public and I am sure he will respond well!
but who is to manage the egos at BMRCL offices..or is there a plan internally to slow down metro for certain reasons!!?
