Bt-Brinjal

thampan - 20-MAY-2009

 I saw this campaign about Bt-Brinjal and thought will ask the opinion of the learned Prajagel. Request you to check out the following links. The campaign talks about Bt-Brinjal and why it should not be allowed to enter India. With the new government swearing in, this would indeed be one of the matters on which a policy decision has to be taken.

On 26th April, DLF homes published    this   full page ad in Times of India (I expect in other papers also) announcing the launch of their new project "Westend Heights".

City Planner - Metroquest

Vasanth - 19-MAY-2009

I found an interesting tool on the cityfix.com on urban planning. You can plan the real city for 40 years.

Our city agencies like BBMP, BMLTA etc can use tools like this and we praja can explore the possibilities. I could not get a chance to get into the tool in detail. Just wanted Praja members to know about this.

Bangalore in Fifties and Sixties was still a Pensioners’ Paradise and very much a sleepy town. It was mostly divided into City and Cantonment with Basavanagudi and Malleshwaram well known among its residential areas. Jaya Nagar or its famous mosquitoes had not made their debut yet.

Are Government websites reliable in their static contents/updations?

Vasanthkumar Mysoremath - 19-MAY-2009

Dear All

Many of us have experienced difficulty in obtaining correct/uptodate information from Government websites.  This has led to a number of questions:

- Why were such portals launched

- Were the websites designed and developed 'in house' or 'outsourced', if so,  

- at what cost?

Storm water drain in Bilekahalli

bvijayk - 19-MAY-2009

The BBMP has been constructing a storm water drain across the Ranka Colony road in Bilekahalli off the Bannerghatta Road. This project was started in 2008 and still there are no signs of this project getting completed in 2009. This drain is to carry the water flowing from J.P.Nagar area to the Bommanahalli lake without flooding the roads enroute.
