Bengalooru suddi Bangalore Media Reports Architecture Race Course
Race Course is again in the news
- SHIFT elsewhere-Till such time race in Mysore says CM,
- No says horse lovers,
- Yes says CM for Asia's tallest building,
- No says environmentalists and citizens.
Debate continues .. it is time for citizens to bring in a semblance of transparency and accountability towards the climate change that is taking place due to destruction of greenery in and around namma Bengaluru and to develop an organic forest in the 68 acres land to be vacated by Race Course.
- also look at following earlier link:

BSY is taking the right decision in writing an epitaph to BTC.
Innnumerable familes suffer because of this mega scam. Such a waste of land and a waste of our precious resources.
We should convert BTC land for the southern bench of the Supreme Court. Already M Veerappa Moily is the Union Minister for Law and has shifted the Additional Solicitor General office from Chennai to Bangalore.
We should grab this oppurtunity and make best use of it.
About horses and other horse play - who cares?
shifting Bangalore Racing( BRC) to Mysore- for God's sake, why?

How come the C.M. is taking off the cuff decisions to shift racing ( BRC) from Bangalore to Mysore? Has he discussed with anyone? Why not to shimoga?Does anyone want it here? This smacks of takingunilateral decisions without knowing head or tail of a subject, without seeing the likely consequences.. Typical Yeddy knee-jerk reaction.

Enough of monstrous buildings-Supreme Court branch not anathema

Cadambi Sir
Please, please stop imagining that you will get speedy justice just by having a monstrous building housing the Supreme Court Bench/ Branch.
- Let us talk about mother earth whose face has been scarred,
- let us talk about greening the planet that has been destroyed beyond recognition,
- let us talk about the dangers of climate change, global warming/global dimming, bio diversities, disappearing species, spread of immuno defficient deadly viruses
- let us talk about reduction of pollutions
- let us talk about the alarming reduction in staple food species and future dependency on millets
- let us talk about a good carbon sink/organic forest in 68 acres in CBD/ Race Course land with a little space for having an underground parking place for catering to CBD area with hanging gardens above ground. Nothing concrete should be visible at ground level.
- Let the richman's horses/donkeys be the business of breeders of corrupt practices because punters are 'kurigalu' and it has been proved beyond doubt that the races are controlled by serious back end gamblers/ operators who know how to pull the reigns of a favorite winning horse in one Race Course to amass more in another off course betting center.
- Pragmatism in governance is the need of the hour.
Mr.ERR - pl have a look at the link cited above.

Do we really need the Race Course?

mob fury with punters smashing the weighing room and the CCTVs in the bookmakers ring before hurling down chairs from the top tier into the paddock area.

I do not understand why the govt is allowing betting and gambling right next to their offices..its high time the BTC is shifted or even shut down..what to do with the land there will be a different question all together, but for the good of the society, this place should be shut down for good !
