Some of us at Praja are planning to go meet Metro officials this Friday, 20th/August. Those interested to join in may leave a note here. We will not be able to take more than 5 people along, so please respond soonest since we have to resort to 'first come first serve' basis & give priority to more senior praja members.
For those not intending to attend, but have questions or queries, please do post them here.
Regret the short notice, but this meet had to be organized to fit in with their schedule as Metro staff are busy with completion stages of reach-1.

Metro to ITPL in Phase I
I had a question on taking metro to ITPL in ph I itself..this is considering the delay in going underground and the overall delay in Phase I
and ITPL being a very 'CBD ' like area for IT co's
All the best, be organized please!
Guys, I won't be able to join today. But want to request everyone to stick with Naveen as a moderator for the meeting - let him ask all first, and then keep 10-15 minutes at the end for adhoc items. Idea of this meeting is to "know" from them (on project status, plans) than "tell". Trying to do both in such meeting is usually not a good idea. One at a time is better, and again, this one is a "know" meeting.
