Hi all, So far we have been discussing about skywalks and subways, which are most of the time not used due to accessibility and safety. The major reason for introducing pedestrian bridges is to make Bangalore USER FRIENDLY.. More usability, more functional a space will always help in the growth of the city.

Masterplan of Mysore?

12/17/08 21:02 - reevs

When was the latest Masterplan for Mysore and Nanjangud LPA released? Is the information in MUDA's website correct? With airport at Mandakalli and development around that area, MUDA must have extended its limits well beyond its current jurisdiction (to include Mandakalli village). Anyone has information on the latest Masterplan of Mysore?

Urgent - need photographs for a PIL

12/17/08 05:43 - Promod Kapur

Dear readers, we need some urgent help for our ongoing Bangalore Masterplan-2015 PIL. We require photographs that show the adverse effects of converting a road of a residential area into "mutation corridor" (see below for what is this, or see the attached doc). If the photos can also show vehicles parked on the road and pavements due to lack of proper parking space, it will be great.

KA least preferred by entrepreneurs?

12/17/08 03:32 - Ravi_D

This Deccan Herald report shows how bad Karnataka is rated by entrepreneurs. I thought KA did better than this...

Another reminder for GOK to wake up, take note, and start to act.

Thanks,

Ravi

In response to the RTI applications filled with KSIIDC, there was a meeting between Mr Nagaraj, DGM, KSIIDC and a couple of Praja members. The meeting was a very cordial one and Mr Nagesh apart from giving us the requested documents also shared with us his views on the development of BIAL.

Karnataka's Accountant General - dead or alive?

12/15/08 17:28 - silkboard

Ever been to the CAG website? Its of interest because it provides useful data on how select government departments are doing with tax payer's money. Look at this report on NAL (National Aero Lab) for example, and see how CAG details NAL's failure to meet its targets. Or see this report on allotment of housing by DDA. Don't we wish Karnataka too had a CAG like body to audit the likes of BDA and BBMP?

Medical ethics and objectionable Pharmacy practices

12/15/08 03:59 - psaram42

Whenever I am waiting to see my cardiologist, at his clinic in Indiranagar, there are invariably a couple of drug representatives who put in their cards with the receptionist for an appointment with the doctor. The doctor meets the reps only after he is through with the patients of course. When my doctor changed a drug which I was using for ages I was not comfortable.
