BIAL connectivity - train to Chikkaballapur? 03/06/08 20:06 - silkboard
Bangalore TOI, Mar 6, page 2: "... Planners have, therefore, suggested making use of the existing railway corridor ... the proposed train between Chikballapur and Bangalore city will be taken up as a priority. Two trains run between the city and Chikkaballapur and these trains can be utilized if there is a demand,’’ divisional manager of Southwestern Railway, Mahesh Mangal, told TOI." Good to see someone wake up to this possibility that Vasanth/others have suggested here a few times already. This would be the track in question: person silkboard's post | forum 9 Comments | Read More

So the state government extended the deadline, and also reduced 'regularization' fees. The BJP wants the scheme to be put on hold, and I think we will soon hear more from the courts via some pending PILs. Sakrama may not be a perfect scheme, but it is the only step government has taken towards solving the mother of all ills that plague our city - plan violations. I don't like the one time fee concept (why not make violators pay a fee every year, that way you will make them think of altering constructions). I don't see clarity on what will happen to the buildings with 'unacceptable' level of violations - demolitions or not? I don't see any talk of punishing the 'officials' who may have been involved in letting things come to such a state where 70-80% of buildings have violations. I don't see creation of new fund or special task-force (regularization fees can be used for this) to improve policing of building norms so that we don't require a Sakrama every five years. But, but, but.

They dug the road up, about 2 feet praveen says, and laid a concrete base. Just as it started drying, they started placing the elements. Neighbouring elements are supposed to be held by mates. But from the pics I've seen, there are only one type of mates. Apparently end elements have these pre-tensioning hooks, around which 40T compressive pressure will be applied so that the elements are snug. How are these elements fastened to the floor? What prevents the elements from moving in the X and Y directions? Any guesses? person tsubba's post | forum 5 Comments | Read More

If you want things as in the golden days of yore, leave them be in the hands of the government - that is, subscribe to ‘Socialism’. person murali772's post | forum 3 Comments | Read More
