Survey on your voter registration experience

Dear Friends, based on our own observations, and with inputs and support from Jaagte Raho and SmartVote, here is a survey on your experience with voter registration process in Bangalore. The idea is to help the State Election Commission to improve the accuracy of voter lists. You cooperation is requested. Please encourage your community and friends to take this survey in large numbers. Summarized results will be shared with the State Election Commission.

You could go by the entries in the SEC listing, which has been extracted and made readily accessible here (http://smartvote.in/voter...) by SmartVote. The EPIC entries, which may have been corrected at the time of their issue (by the private contractors), but that is not official.

[Tech Note: Survey open to all users, registered on Praja.in or not. Be assured that profile details of registered users (email, address) will NOT be shared with anyone.]

Pedestrian skywalk at KR Puram Ring Road chaos, finally

8 March 2010 - 12:14am — silkboard

I am not a fan of skywalks (prefer regular ped-signals, or underpass), but the chaos that this place is - Outer Ring Road/Old Madras Road junction near Tin Factory, K R Puram - a pedestrian skywalk to cross 8 lanes of thick traffic should help. After our last round of complaints etc, the pedestrian signals had been operating for some time, they still are - either the light turns red, or cops stop traffic to let pedestrians cross. The skywalk (such a late arrival) is perhaps part of signal-free ORR project.
