Privacy Rights of a Bangalore Citizen

23 June 2009 - 9:07pm — Sindhu

The BBMP has put up the property details of all the property tax payers and those who not yet paid taxes in 2008-09 on bmponline.org.

No trees planted on ORR

Hi All,

Currently there is no BMTC or VOLVO service operating between Yelahanka towards ORR via Hebbal busstop. The nearest stop is the DAIRY stop(Opp: Esteem Mall) . One has to walk all the way underneath hebbal flyover to reach the stop. Till the OFFICIALS wake up and start bus service here is an opportunity to reduce a good number of vehicles off the ORR

If the tourism department has its way, the core heritage zone in the city - like the Palace, Town Hall and Chamundi Hills — would undergo a complete makeover by the time Mysore Palace celebrates its centenary in 2012.
