Road Hump Records...

Infrastructure

As said in another post, I tried to create a road hump record using my basic andriod phone which just costed me 6.7k. I just mentioned cost to tell how valuable a phone can be, if it can be used constructively. 

The road humps are plotted in google maps, real time.. Also data can be saved in internet.

Isnt poverty a state of mind?

Everything else

Well, many of you may feel, this is a political/controvesial thingi. But I wanted specifically to analyze from an ordinary "Praja's"(Mr.Common Man) view.

BMTC losing out on outdoor advertising revenues?

Bus

Women commuters are the silent sufferers of certain harassments being meted out to them during their journeys in BMTC buses.

Public Transport
