Tumkur as satellite for Bangalore?

08/20/08 18:04 - Vasanth

Tumkur, so close to Bangalore - Just 55 minutes to 1 hour in Non-Stop Train, 1.5 hours by road (delay mainly due to Traffic) is highly under-utilized. Bangalore is growing like anything and the existing space is not sufficient. Tumkur can be well utilized as a satellite city.

Why is Bangalore growing towards Hosur - a city belonging to neighbouring state and why not towards our own city Tumkur? Townships as well as IT companies can be planned between Bangalore and Tumkur in areas that are close both to railway track and the bus route.

Belgaum city map of 1894

08/20/08 16:55 - belgaumblog

I have just found a Belgaum city map of 1894 from the Bombay Gazetteer. The image was in a pdf file & of low resolution and is not very clear. Thanks, Mr.Vilas Patil, a Belgaumite, now working in Pune who has made the present version on the image which is better viewable. See Belgaum in 1894 and now, it has changed.

I request all the readers to send in their comments as to what changes they have found in that map and the current Belgaum.
