New Karnataka govt notification for continuing to avail gas connection

Everything else

 On 27th January, through our neighbours we found out gas dealers are asking for filing of photo-id and electricity bill. Unfortunately I dont have my electricity bill with me now and the next electricity bill would reach us around the 10th or 12th of the month. As per the govt notification, the last date for filing is 10th Feb, 2010.

Many have already posted about this topic in a different way so as to how make BMTC effective in terms of providing service.

Following are my views mainly in terms of operational:

Driving License - Medical certificate hitches

Governance

My license became due for renewal mid-Dec, and with having learned the ropes at the time of renewal of my wife's license (check this), I thought it was going to be just a half hour's job for me at the Koramangala RTO's office.

Why regular traffic on BTM Roads?

TrafficTraffic jams

Many people who use the BTM stretch of the Outer RING RD face daily traffic jam for about one hour or so. The place am taking is between UDUPI GARDEN to SILK Board signal. The same in reverse direction. But the trouble is more in former.

Public have various versions for the traffic jam between these two points. The various reasons may be:

I am not an expert in the Indian Railways. Therefore, if my rant is in the wrong direction, I would really appreciate if someone can put me in my place.

Trash talk

Out of sight, out of mind? Not many people think about what happens to the copious amounts of garbage generated daily. There doesn't seem to be much information on BBMP's website (surprise). Based on earlier articles in the media, it appears that there is still not a scientific landfill to handle Bengaluru's waste (let alone in other cities/towns in Karnataka).

Rail Connectivity to BIAL

Hi,

The planned gauge conversion of the existing Kolar-Chikballapur line appears meaningless & expensive since one wonders how useful it would be. How many trains will actually be run ? How many people will eventually travel between these two towns ?

 

Following Driving Discipline

This may sound as  Repetition, but it is the way people are in Bangalore. Most of the vehicles today either it is Two Wheeler / Four Wheeler or the public transport BMTC / Auto's don't follow lane discipline.

Bandh or 'State sponsored terrorism'?

Governance

We headed out for restaurant lunch, where we saw that some young people were forcing darshini to close shutters. Owner told, wait 15 minutes sir, 'these people' will go. Who were "these people"? Who is paying for the M&M gaadi they are using? Who is paying for diesel? Are 'these people' doing all this for free. Is it not the ruling party? Ruling party provides rule.
