Choked connectivity to Whitefield - solutions?

07/14/11 03:55 - silkboard

If you look back, or go ask city agencies, they would say that a lot has been done to improve connectivity to Whitefield. A six-lane railway overbridge at Marathahalli, 2006. A prominent Big-10 service (G-1), 2010. A once-every-5-minutes air conditioned bus service (335E), 2009. Road improvements (Varthur Road, Mahadevapura main road), since 2003.

Parking in front of houses

07/14/11 03:45 - Vasanth

This weekend, I had parked my car in a residential area to goto a restaurant. It was not parked in a driveway nor in front of a gate nor in the slot where most of the people alter their foothpaths to park their car. By the time I returned, windshield was filled up with clay mud. No one was there near the car, but, someone from the home might have done that.

Transformer too close to the House

Hi Sir,

My name is Tina. I was part of the Civic Awareness and Social Responsibilities Credit Course class that you took in Mount Carmel College.

My uncle's house is under construction. Right next to it, there is a transformer that has been put up, which is almost touching his wall.

Why not put the temple wealth to good use?

07/11/11 13:20 - murali772

What should India, rising but still plagued by poverty, do with a newly discovered treasure of gold coins, statues and jewels in the vault of a Hindu temple, valued at about $22 billion? Suggestions are pouring in from across the country and the world. Some say it should be used to establish universities and colleges.

SWR & BMTC to blame for poor response for Devanahalli service

07/09/11 09:00 - Sanjeev

On the one hand the city whines that it doesn’t have a “lifeline” like Mumbai’s suburban trains. It clamours for Metro and other high-speed rail networks. On the other, South Western Railway (SWR) is planning to withdraw the train service from Yeshwanthpur to Devanahalli via Bengaluru International Airport (BIA) just a year after it was introduced.

Daily scene at the interjunction of Coles Park on St Johns Road in Bangalore

I just fail to understand Why we Bangaloreans, the residents of Silicon City of India behave in such a chaotic manner, does the person coming from other side of the road, not have a right to smooth passage. Is it that all the hurry is only for us?
