Station and the Airport

23 September 2008 - 9:10am — silkboard

city station 1Imagine the noise if our new international airport had no escalators to take you up from check-in area to the departure hall? 'Super shoddy', 'oh these cheapos', coin-your-expletives, or 'like our station' right? Switch over to the City station, and remember how you lugged your stuff up the stairs from the platform to the footbridge and back down again.

We can hear you say - there are porters to help. Why does the airport not save some money by arranging for 50-60 porters? Before this gets into socialism vs capitalism like arguments, analyze this.

'Safe Passage' - for pedestrians at K R Puram, Benniganahalli

23 September 2008 - 8:06am — CKannan

bus stand"Safe Passage" is about collecting 2.00 lacs signatures representing to emphasize need for safe pedestrian crossing at K.R.Puram Railway, Benniganahalli and ITI Colony gate. Why Signature Campaign?

As we know the gatherings once dispersed the existence of such emphasis also disappears in thin air. Signature Campaign will be in existence all the time for ever. The leaders representation will make the things happen. I am inviting leaders to take this on along with me and be a cause for this Safe Passage of innumerable lives who will reach home safely thanking every good soul who have stood for the cause.

'Unique PPP Initiative for Mahadevapura' - Note from R K Misra

21 September 2008 - 1:28pm — silkboard

Some like him, some don't. Recently, I met with Mr R K Misra, one objective was to learn about an initiative for development for Mahadevapura area (Whitefield, Marathahalli, Sarjapura etc). At the end of it, I got a note from RK for posting here on his behalf. Well, here it is, unedited. Pardon me if you think this is marketing for an individual's organization or philosophy. I am not endorsing one thing over another. Any developmental news is worth sharing. Whether we like one group's philosophy, or hate an individual's approach, we should be in the know of these "outlets" for activism.

Now its the state fighting against the NICE again. We thought it was all over but problems are back with some other reasons..POLITICS!

Bellary mine owners found it very lucrative to be in power and so does Kheny think. But then BSY felt threatened! 

Why doesnt Kheny fight from Bidar, his hometown!?

SH17 - road of death, need highway patrol

19 September 2008 - 4:15pm — silkboard

Bangalore Mysore HighwayA few deaths on Bellary Road, and it got so much attention. By the way, police's efforts to enforce are working, I hear that a good number of cabs keep themselves to 80 kmph, and drivers either buckle up or think about putting on seat belts on Nh7. So perhaps, the fear of punishment does work. Now, how about the Bangalore Mysore highway?

First of all, its foolish to build high speed roads that are not access controlled in whatever way, limited or full fledged. That road is literally hell right now, with death awaiting at about 50-60 points along the 100 odd km length.

Keep digging Government websites and you come across lots of interesting stuff. Wonder if we should build a search engine dedicated to sarkaari websites. Anyway, here is an interesting site: Committee on Infrastructure. This committee was setup:
