Bengaluru Suburban Rail Still pending - Open Letter to Bengaluru City MPs!

To: All the MPs from Bengaluru City and surroundings,

Rail Yatra - Yeshwantpur to Karmelam - August 31 @ 2:30 PM

In this game of Ping-Pong between GOK and Railway Ministry, impelmentation of Suburban Rail Project in Bengaluru is almost like winning thousand mutinies. Every inch of progress made so far right from 2010 Round Table Event at CiSTUP is almost like a winning a mutiny and it is almost like a waging war at all times.

Namma Railu - GOK cabinet approves 345 Crs as part of the MoU

Yesterday Feb 14, 2017, Karnataka state cabinet approved the 345 Crs funds per the MoU that they had inked with railways last month.

To begin with the MoU has 2 projects on suburban rail:

Steel Flyover from Rajbhavan to Hebbal - Political Objectives rules over public Utility

The news about GOK's brazen attempt to go ahead with the 6.7 KM STEEL FLYOVER project connecting Rajbhavan to Hebbal is hogging all the news headlines in past few weeks..

Railways, SWR - True Lies!

Excuses, Excuses and more Excuses.

The time has come to call the bluff of railways and south western railways (SWR) on its march of spreading falsehood to deny genuine demands of the Karnataka State.

Dear Namma Bengaluru Niwasigale, Time to ask questions

We have waited enough for the state government and the center to build infrastructure that could provide relief to our daily challenges. Our day starts with overcoming the challenge of beating the traffic to reach our work places and end with same challenge to return home in the evening.

Time to Call upon State and Railways for Namma Railu Implementation - #‎SupportNammaRailu‬

#‎SupportNammaRailu‬

Even after 5 years into Namma Railu advocacy, things have not started to work out the way we all have wanted to be. The project is still in corridors of state government and Railway Ministry. With budget around the corner, let us remind our public representatives that they have forgotten about this project.

Loyalty - To the Party or to the Nation?

Wishing 'Happy Independence Day' to all my fellow countrymen.  In this fast paced life, these are few occasions when we stop for a moment and try to reflect what this means to us.
