Cops 'looked the other way' - cricket the reason

1 April 2011 - 12:26pm — silkboard

Quoting from Page #2, DNA, this morning, Mr Shankar Bidari, and Mr Sood like to play the generous cop. Looks like it was okay to do certain things on Wednesday night for cricketing reasons. No comments, but wanted to check if anyone else has reactions to these statements of generosity.

DNA reporter seems to have liked it.

Auto Rickshaw service in Bangalore city

28 March 2011 - 1:35pm — PManish

Dear Sir, we citizens at Bangalore do not get proper service from auto rickshaw. Here are the list of complaints.

1. Most of the auto rickshaw drivers simply denies to come at our destination place.

2. If someone agree, they will demand lump-sum amount. That amount is much more than actual charges as per meter.

Within one and a half years of its opening, the rotary yield junction at the busy Krishna Rajendra (K.R.) Circle is set to get traffic signals, mainly on account of the closure of the Dr. B.R.

Need for road divider on St Johns Church Road

16 February 2011 - 10:42am — balu036

St Johns Church Road is a major road leading to Mekhri Circle, Peenya and BIAL. The stretch from Bharatinagar Police Station to Coles Park is a crucial stretch with a lot of schools in the nearby location. Unfortunately due to lack of a road divider, there is no lane discipline on this stretch.

Metro Pillars used as parking slots obstructing traffic

16 February 2011 - 10:33am — balu036

Bangaloreans have done it again! The namma metro towers which run right in middle of the road are being used as parking slots by vehicles in CMH especially in the Lakshmipuram slot. The traffic police for some reason is not curbing this menace. They obstruct smooth flow of traffic and causing a lot of snarls. Will somebody take action to rectify it
