A strong case for legalising betting

28 May 2013 - 2:05pm — murali772

Nobody knows exactly how big illegal betting is in India. The police estimate that betting on just the IPL — which lasts only six weeks — is Rs 20,000 crore. Betting on all sports and elections is perhaps 10 times higher. If such betting is legalized, and subject to a tax of say 20 per cent, it will generate anything up to Rs 40,000 crore per year in tax revenue.

Mammoth bungling BBMP style

21 May 2013 - 9:23am — psaram42

BBMP seems to be bereft of all hopes measuring up to its calling. They outsource the work of salary disbursing to Keonics without crediting any funds.

Someone (BPAC?), please fund a CIO for Bangalore

"Can't fix it if you can't measure it". That is what a lot of people say. There is a lot that gets measured by BBMP/BMTC/BWSSB/BESCOM/BDA etc. But we just don't get to see. Want GIS data used for creating masterplan to be public? Want to know the city's water consumption, and inflow from each source every day?

Another face of keeping city clean is debris management and recycling. I am seeing it equally responsible as garbage. If we watch carefully we will find debris everywhere. We can manage dry and wet waste somehow, but debris is hard to manage. Some tractor has to come and we should have labour and tools dispose it. Also where to dispose debris is a *big* question.
