Praja.in - whats ahead?

10/17/07 10:38 - admin123

A "whats next" type discussion has been pending for sometime now, how about we start one. To kick it off, here are the two broad thoughts what got us started in the first place:

=> Need for a platform to enable citizens to be activists in their areas of concern and interest. Platform as in enable and equip, with information, pointers, complaint numbers, contacts of relevant people, success/failure stories and alike.
=> Try to utilize the power of Internet to build a big and strong community. We realize that if easy and online ways of activism are made available, there will be better participation because the reality of present times is - most of us are not willing to give these things serious personal effort and time.

Bangalore, demolitions, media etc

10/15/07 03:07 - silkboard

Demolitions have been making news every other week, looks like BBMP is going to keep their razors up even after the rains are gone.

Papers report today (online link unavailable) that BBMP is set to demolish parts of the club-house of Koramangala National Games village. It was reported earlier that the club-house was situated atop Raja Kaluve.

I found this news report - Portions of nine buildings demolished in Puttenahalli - interesting for the last paragraph it carries.

Seoul's Metro Network - Something BMRC or even BMTC should look into to structure its model. Please check the link http://www.smrt.co.kr/english_smrt/cyberstation_smrt/cyberstation.jsp. There are 8 lines and the route for travelling between point A to point B can be searched on the website based on shortest distance or minimum transfers.
