I would like to know how rampant animal/ bird sacrifices in the temples of the city/ Karnataka is. I am a journalism student and am interested in knowing if this is practised in spite of regulations against it.

Nayandahalli Station Should Be Improved

Southern most station of Bangalore, Nayandahalli needs to be developed to offload the load on SBC. Currently, the people of southern Bangalore travelling towards Mysore need to go all the way upto City Station paying hefty amount to autos, stand in very long queues (sometimes miss the train because of not getting the ticket in time) and then take up travel. Hence most of the south bangaloreans take up buses from satellite bus stand.

Bangalore Autos: Should RTA approve fare hike?

Feedback on airport tree-corridor idea

Mrs Janet Yegneswaran of the Tree-for-free trust doesn’t share my enthusiasm for a green corridor to the Bangalore international airport. “Sorry, it’s not possible,” she wrote back, saying she has enough hassles already, of having to deal with the municipal authorities for providing tree guards to her roadside saplings. Planting saplings along airport highway entail large scale maintenance; would require lots of tree-guards (which, incidentally, cost more than saplings). And who takes responsibility for watering the saplings?

Going over Cauvery Junction Underpass

Back-of-the-envelope analysis and some rough sketches to understand the cauvery junction underpass solution. Looks like the palike will need more than the magic of precast boxes to make this work.

Parking on ORR Marathahalli - thats the way!

Went to Hometown in Marathahalli recently and was pleasantly surprised to see a few things. A tow-truck was removing vehicles parked on Outer Ring Road and service road next to Innovative and Hometown. I also saw traffic cops handing out fines to those who were busy parking under no-parking boards while the tow-truck was doing its job!

Well, BBMP, Traffic Police or whoever is organizing this, good show and thats the way. The only way to deal with careless parking and irresponsible businesses who don't care to provide adequate parking space is to enforce, fine and tow! Once the customers figure its a risk and hassle to visit a particular commercial area, they will stop visiting. That will make shops and businesses fall in line. Simple.
