The Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) overstated profits by a total of Rs 126.42 crore in 2007-08, says the report of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) for the year. KSRTC, in its accounts earlier, had shown a profit Rs 40.54 crore in 2007-08. This means the KSRTC had actually incurred a loss of Rs 85.88 crore in 2007-08.

So said Dr. Subramanya sometime in Dec 2007.  It seems that pavements are optional in Bangalore.  BBMP can spend 100s of crores on tarring roads, acquiring land for useless road widening (check out the stretch just after Domlur leading to Command Hospital), building flyovers with signals on top of them, etc etc, but has little money to spend on building and maintaining pavements.

With concepts like Autonomy, Sustainable growth, Forward Planning, HRD, etc becoming buzz-words in management circles, government babu’s couldn’t quite stomach the idea of being left out.
