Bangalore loosing its green cover is a constant complaint we all have but most of us have done nothing much about it..however there are some audacious move by agencies who want to keep the 'view' for their expensive billboards unhindered. They go about cutting trees planted on the street in front of the billboards, which tend to block the view if left to grow.

Getting the economics of solar power right

5 July 2015 - 6:14pm — murali772

Narendra Modi has raised the target for solar electric capacity from 20,000MW to 100,000MW by 2022 at a cost of maybe $100 billion. This is a serious blunder. It will sabotage his “Make in India” plans by technically disrupting the whole electricity grid, and raising the cost of a critical manufacturing input — electricity.

Plight of the daily train commuters in Bangarpet - Bangalore route

1 July 2015 - 4:16pm — Saritha

As a daily commuter from Whitefield to Bangalore City, I must say that the Passenger trains are a blessing to save precious time spent on jammed roads.

Passenger trains mostly arrive on time until Whitefield railway station.

30 June 2015 - 6:25pm — murali772

Soon, non-agriculturists whose income is less than Rs 25 lakh per annum will be able to buy farmlands in Karnataka, thanks to the government which is planning to amend the Karnataka Land Reforms Act. The Karnataka Land Reforms Act now does not allow non-agriculturists whose income is more than Rs 2 lakh per annum to buy farm land.

Criss-cross elevated corridor based development, or Namma Railu based development - which would suit Bengaluru better?

The state government's ambitious plan of easing traffic congestion by constructing elevated corridors is all set to come with a huge bill: A massive Rs 18,500 crore! And they plan to pass it on to the users.
