Bangalore - Governance

Namma Bengaluru's struggle to manage its growth is partly a result of its broken governance structure. Central area of city had a municipality, which was expanded to cover sorrounding areas much after chaos has crept in on the peripheries. Even after the expansion, certain critical areas like transportation and water are not directly controlled by the local government.

Discussions about Praja.in itself

Placeholder book to group together some past discussions that have happened about Praja.in itself. These discussions are initiated once in a while to hear back from members. Responses to such discussions initiated by site admin generate more private messages and emails than comments.

Heat Island Effect

Dear All,

Namma Metro - it just gets better and better.....

This might be a bit alarmist but this is a report I read earlier today. It does not seem too surprising given that the BMRCL got around to finding digging specialists after starting to dig..

Cycling Rally on October 24

24 Oct 2009 16:00
Asia/Calcutta

Background

350.org is an international campaign dedicated to building a movement to unite the world around solutions to the climate crisis--the solutions that science and justice demand. To start building a global grassroots campaign Oct 24th has been designated as the International Day of Climate Action. On this day, people from 152 countries will, in nearly 3000 unique events, will take a stand for a safe climate future and spread the message.We invite you to lend your voice too.

The Event

Vehicles contribute to nearly a third of all CO2 emitted. Any solution that seeks to reduce emissions is incomplete without Cycling being a part of it. What better way to raise consciousness about the number 350 than to use a Biking rally to do it? The bikers of Bangalore, through various clubs (BOTS and BBC, for instance) and events such as Critical Mass, have been instrumental in spreading awareness about the role of cycling in a sustainable urban setup. It appears that our job is not done yet. We now ask you to lend your hand once again.

Details of the Rally

An exercise like this is most useful in a place where it is most needed. We decided to hold the rally in the Central Business District. The route that we chose is one that Critical Mass has already used in one its past events.

Date: 24-Oct-2009
Time: 4:00 PM

...additionally

Spread the word by wearing this bib while you ride.

Storm Water Drain (SWD) Muck / Mud Traps

 “In most countries, sieve/meshes only hold back items which are too big to clog the drains. It is hard to stop mud from entering drains using meshes.”              - IDS
