Hi all, So far we have been discussing about skywalks and subways, which are most of the time not used due to accessibility and safety.

Masterplan of Mysore?

18 December 2008 - 2:32am — reevs

When was the latest Masterplan for Mysore and Nanjangud LPA released? Is the information in MUDA's website correct? With airport at Mandakalli and development around that area, MUDA must have extended its limits well beyond its current jurisdiction (to include Mandakalli village). Anyone has information on the latest Masterplan of Mysore?

Dear readers, we need some urgent help for our ongoing Bangalore Masterplan-2015 PIL. We require photographs that show the adverse effects of converting a road of a residential area into "mutation corridor" (see below for what is this, or see the attached doc). If the photos can also show vehicles parked on the road and pavements due to lack of proper parking space, it will be great.

Karnataka's Accountant General - dead or alive?

15 December 2008 - 10:58pm — silkboard

Ever been to the CAG website? Its of interest because it provides useful data on how select government departments are doing with tax payer's money. Look at this report on NAL (National Aero Lab) for example, and see how CAG details NAL's failure to meet its targets. Or see this report on allotment of housing by DDA. Don't we wish Karnataka too had a CAG like body to audit the likes of BDA and BBMP?
