quick survey of last mile power supply

08/13/10 15:59 - Public Agenda

Is there any way to find out thru prajegalu about where, when, and how much power cut is happening in which areas during the weekdays and weekends.

its currently declared that 5 hours are being cut in unscheduled load shedding, some changes are already announced for M -SME areas of MAhadevpura, Peenya, Rajajinagar etc

this might have been 2-3 hours last year

08/13/10 10:16 - murali772

After a persistent pursuit, through registered letters, RTI queries, appeals, etc, targeted primarily at the Commissioner for Transport in Karnataka, he has finally got the the RTO, Koramangala, to write to me officially to say that I cannot be issued a license to operate 'majilu vahanagalu' (meaning 'stage carriage', I guess) in the city.

Unique campaign is floating around called Meterjam, to teach a lession to the erring Auto's and Taxi's. This campaign already has over 22 k strength from major cities, we find that for fare rise or anyother issues, even a road accident with an auto or taxi all of them gang up and fight with a common man.

Interesting video summarizing pedestrian infrastructure problems in India

08/09/10 21:48 - blrpraj

I am not sure if this has been posted before on Praja, did some searching and could not find it, hence i am posting it.

I found an interesting video on the problems faced by pedestrians in Pune. This is very much applicable to any Indian city. I would rate this as one of the best (& captivating) short movies/documentaries I have seen in my entire life.

BDA dear, where is all the GIS/map data on Bangalore?

08/08/10 16:14 - silkboard

It is frustrating, as well as shameful. For any thinking, planning, discussions, whether for us citizens, or the government, one basic thing needed in public domain is a map. Not talking a simple map, but something that shows boundaries and jurisdictions of local govenrments, and also its assets (fire stations, water pumping stations, police stations, roads, rails, parks, lakes etc etc).

Few take the  buses,  few drive bikes, few drive automatic scooters, few drive small cars, few drive MUVs,SUVs ,few drive large cars, few drive bicycles, few take autos and last but not the least very few walk. Everyone has their own justification for what mode of transport they are using.

Cleanliness at market place - Why are we so indifferent?

08/08/10 04:03 - kbsyed61

Cleanliness - That seems like an alien word outside our houses. Anything outisde of the four walls of our homes, seems no man's land and no body is responsible for anything.
