Congratulations to Praja-galu! This is the answer to sceptics that question 'Internet activism'
let us put in our best effort to take this forward.
all the talk about monorail, yet another high speed 'link' to airport is making me think about the thousands of crores CAG will later find missing...

Congratulations Namma Railu project team for a job well done. Look forward to more such reports produced as part of Praja projects.
This is how it should be, just the sort of thing we all need to do - get together (via Internet), put together thoughts, summarized, clear and logical, and produce call-to-action or demand reports. And once something concrete is in our hands, go push government for action.
BTW, those who don't know, bulk of work for the report was done via email, chat etc. While this was being written, one of the authors, Naveen was sailing somewhere near China, Sathya and Sanjeev are in Bangalore, and Syed is based in the US. 4 people, 3 locations, a website full of posts with data and ideas, and a report produced in 2 months. That's new age, and collaboration.
cheers,
SB aka Pranav

I am sure if Dr Manmohan Singh chooses to handover the management of the Commonwealth Games to this team, even at this stage, they will do a far more competent job of it than Kalmadi and team (rather what remains of it), and perhaps at half the cost. JaiHo PRAJA!

Great work guys. Promote Nammu railu during the bus day.
Flyers/Pamphlets can be distrbuted when people pay toll on some of roads like (NICE Road, Hosur Elevated Road) to promote Namma Railu.
