Maintenance of the storm water drainage system

psaram42 - 12-JUN-2009

When the boy Abhishake died BBMP attracted the ire of whole Bangalore. Subramanya some how was always in a fighting mood. He even put a case against the Loka Aukata himself, which attracted the wrath of the CM Mr. Yediyurappa.

Rainwater Harvesting - Preaching without practicing ?

Vasanthkumar Mysoremath - 11-JUN-2009

Some observations/solutions for making RWH compulsory.

Men in authority are more interested in preaching than practicing.

There are huge government buildings and lands/waste lands in urban/rural areas - still there is no semblance of utilizing such golden areas for creating rain water harvesting facilities by those in occupation of such lands.

Green cess

murali772 - 11-JUN-2009

You’ve paid infrastructure and education cesses. Now, get ready to shell out a green cess of 5 paise per kWh electricity. If the Karnataka government has its way, for the first time, the state will levy this on industrial and commercial establishments to raise funds for renewable energy.

Namma Metro Phase 2 Soil Testing

Vasanth - 10-JUN-2009

Today morning I saw soil testing of Namma Metro Phase 2 in Bank Colony near Udupi Upahar hotel. Boards had written "namma metro phase 2 soil testing".

We didn't hear anywhere officially about the alignment of Phase 2 Namma Metro. Surprised to see this!!

New e-procurement portal - transparency!?

silkboard - 21-APR-2008

I didn't know about this new e-procurement portal launched last year by the state government. Have a look here (site isn't setup right, watch the warnings). What should interest us most is "transparency". There is a section intended for "citizens", cool! But the citizen's page doesn't have much right now. A list of tenders is available, which shows up only two items. There is a news and information link too, but that leads to a third party commercial website.
