The Vested Interest

It is learnt that a whopping 12,000 appointments were made from 2004 to 2007 when Revanna was heading the Power ministry. These included assistant engineers, junior engineers, assistant executive engineers, assistant accounts officers, linemen, station supervisors, gangmen and others.

How about a Bangalore related Projects library?...

Imagine a single portal (a book or pages of gyan) where we could log in and see:

Hosur Elevated Road - after completion

Miles & miles of pillars

If you want to imagine how the elevated highway is going to look post completion, start with few month old pictures from foto sun @ flickr (see below). The one on right is my favorite though.

Obama win - whats' in it for Bengaluru

The recent win of Senator Barack Obama has certainly changed the core nature of the United States. That an African American could be elected to the Presidency is a far contrast to the time before 1965 when African Americans could not even vote.

BBMP excempted from calling for tenders for storm water works


In a surprising development BBMP has been exempted from calling tenders for Storm Water Drain projects. A total of around 32 crores will be spent on these projects.

Namma Metro - Last Mile Connectivity

Prajegale,

Can we consolidate our ideas in one post?  Here is the plan:

Underpass at Tagore Circle - End of Gandhi Bazaar?

The pleasure of shopping on Gandhi Bazaar Main Road in Basavanagudi may be lost forever, if the underpass at Tagore Circle at the beginning of the road materializes. Yes, this proposal now seems to have moved and Deccan Herald has published traffic diversions to accommodate this project. I have put in all the pieces in a hurry. Sorry for any editing lapses.

Can someone organize a meet with BWSSB

Plenty of transportation going on around here. One Bangalore public body that needs more attention on Praja is BWSSB. Of special interest to us should be their ambitious "Cauvery Water Supply Scheme Stage IV Phase - II to bring in 500 MLD Potable Water". I picked the title up from BWSSB's current projects page. Newspapers carry very little updates (I mean conslidated updates) on this project which is worth Rs 3383 crores. Receipt of bids was due on 26 September, wonder what happened.
