e-Mail to BBMP (Bus Shelter Design)

Ravi_D - 23-FEB-2009

Prajegale,

Here is a copy of the email I sent out today to commissioner (commissioner at bbmponline dot org) and joint commissioner (works) (jcworks ar bbmponline dot org), BBMP. I know it is probably not going to of a much impact, but thought should just try. Something is better than nothing, right?

My list before the Lok Sabha candidates

murali772 - 22-FEB-2009

While the "I vote, I count" exercise on PRAJA lists a whole lot of issues to be placed before candidates contesting the Lok Sabha elections, I thought, I'll prepare my own list, many issues in which may or may not figure in the list included in the survey running here.

BBMP - More magic boxes coming!?

silkboard - 22-FEB-2009

What exactly would be "precast RCC box segments of size 6m x 4.5m x 1m". Magic box, isn't it? Saw some tenders from BBMP calling for work to prepare "vehicular underpass" using these precast RCC segments at Mysore Road Deviation Junction. See the BBMP Ad for yourself:

The hardships of changing a bus

Vasanth's Big10/ORR buses comment, and seeing a bus stop near silkboard junction move farther from the flyover prompts me to repeat a point made earlier.

Development activities like building the metro always brings environmental issues along with them and tree cutting figures very prominently..Authorities take`refuge of quoting selective trimming of the trees and not necessarily bringing them down..

'I vote I count' - Bengaluru Lok Sabha elections

jennypinto - 20-FEB-2009

[Quick link to the election issue survey, do fill it and have your say.]

The attack on Mumbai on 26/11 was meant to undermine India. Instead it has lead to a new political awakening. As the initial shock and anger against our politicians died down we realized that our disengagement from the political process was part of the problem. And the solution lay in getting engaged; else we only have ourselves to blame.  Politics is too important to be left solely to politicians!

I sent the following letter to several people - Sood, Rajiv Chandrashekhar, Subramanian etc. in the hope of getting some feedback. I just thought I would send it to Praja as well since this topic is being discussed and would appreciate any feedback.

Traffic Violations - Will this work?

srikanthml - 20-FEB-2009

Bengaluru Traffic, what a mess!!! Somehow i am convinced, that one of the key element to make a difference is to ENFORCE traffic rules. That being said it looks like our police force is ill-equipped and poorly staffed to carry out the enforcement in all corners of Bengaluru. I was wondering if this will work?

Hi-Speed Rail - A ReThink

Naveen - 20-FEB-2009

Hi Folks,

It does seem a hugely expensive exercise that would cater to perhaps, a few thousand each day. At first look, it does seem a questionable investment decision with dubious rationale - is this really so ?

A few points that may be pondered over ---
