Kolar weather is not bad. In fact it is cooler than Mysore and with same elevation as Bangalore, it is comparable to Bangalore weather. But water is a big problem.

The soul that is Bangalore

Nageswara Rao

Posted On Tuesday, November 09, 2010 at 05:20:27 AM

Iam one of a number of people who returned to India after a fairly long stint – eight years - in the US.


Life at Salt Lake City, Utah, had its own charm, especially since the city had a small Indian population. It created possibilities as families came together over weekends, organising cultural events, staging plays, going on long drives and doing things without inhibition.

But, all this had to pass. I returned to Bangalore, my hometown, with my family in 2000, partly because of the career opportunities it offered, but also to reconnect with my roots. The “metamorphosis” of the city wasn’t what I had expected. One stark difference is the fabric of our youngsters; in my youth, children played gilli-danda and cricket on the street. Today, they are glued to computers. The other change that hits you is the “vertical development” of the city. The fragrance of the Sampiges and Malliges, that used to pervade the streets, is now replaced with smog. It almost feels like Beijing.

Once confined to Vidyarthi Bhavan and MTR, Bangalore has opened up to cosmopolitan cuisine. Macs, KFCs and Pizza Huts abound and yet they coexist peacefully with the old haunts. I am also amazed at the number of Ashrams in and around Bangalore. Maybe it is the 2012 effect, but they are a step in the right direction.

The traffic is quite another thing. My US-based boss called the people here kamikaze. I agree. I don’t understand what it is with us, but we truly drive like our life is in others’ hands and stake our right on the wrong side of the road. The change in civic sense and lack of respect for fellow citizens is also a concern. Maybe we should start by not bickering over coconut trees in our neighbour’s compound.

In this respect, I do miss America for its cleanliness, its unobtrusive people and the snow. I absolutely detest the corruption, the infrastructure and the garbage disposal system here. If I could change one thing with a snap of my fingers it would be corrupt politicians.

However, the diverse people, the culture and weather of Bangalore is irreplaceable. Despite the gamut of changes, Bangalore has retained the nerve of its fabric, the “swalpa adjust maadi” culture. Enjoy Maadi!

A PROBLEM OF PLENTY?
Over supply of IT parks and low absorption rates have skewed the demandsupply ratio. Harini Sriram analyses…

QUICK
BYTES
IT PARKS HAVE THE ADVANTAGE OF INCREASED FSI OF ABOUT 3.5 TO 3.75, IN ADDITION TO TAX CONCESSIONS
THE ABSORPTION SPIRALLED DOWN TO ABOUT 2.2 MILLION SQ FT IN 2008 FROM CLOSE TO 3 MILLION SQ FT IN 2007
The setting up of TIDEL Park on OMR (Old Mahabalipuram Road) in 2000 set the tone for a slew of IT developments in Chennai. When Chennai woke up to the possibilities and opportunities that the IT and ITES sector presented, it lapped it up - a little too aggressively, perhaps. Although the demand for IT space in the city was good to start with (with absorptions of over 5 million sq ft in 2005-2006), it (the demand) has been slipping considerably since then. Despite the dip in demand, new IT Parks started mushrooming in the city and suburbs, thus widening the gap between supply and absorption. As of now, the absorption rate (of IT space) in Chennai is about 3 million sq ft of the total IT space
However, the oversupply situation is more pronounced in the city's peripherals, while IT Parks in the city continue to be fully occupied. And this brings us to the question of location of the IT Park, which most promoters believe, is crucial to its sustenance. Jair DSouza, GM - Sales and Marketing, Shapoorji Pallonji & Co Ltd, a company that owns SP Info City, an IT Park in Perungudi, says, "Places like OMR, Ambattur and even parts of GST Road have a lot of IT Parks - OMR alone has about 50 IT Parks. But do people want to set up offices in these places? Lack of social infrastructure in these areas is a huge hindrance; transportation and connectivity need attention too. How can an IT Park in places that lack basic infrastructure attract offices? This is precisely why parts of Ambattur and OMR have an oversupply situation."

:lol:
THREE YEARS TO FILL UP THE EXISTING IT PARKS!!!!!

SPACE, ETC
Even in the current positive market environment, it will take Chennai's IT Parks a minimum of three years to fill up the existing space, says Juggy Marwaha, Director - Leasing of RMZ Corp. Akhila Krishnamurthy talks to him about space, supply, design and demand in the world of IT Parks in South India

In Chennai, there is clearly a demand-supply mismatch, right?
Yes. Overbuilding of space is the single-most important reason. Then of course, the global economic meltdown in 2008 added to the misery of developers who were confused - they did not know if they had to halt their project or finish it and let it remain vacant. As a result, today, in the city, there is a supply of over 11 million sq ft. And that, believe me, is a huge number.
So what could be done?
Well, that is a call that individual developers need to take. Those who are hardpressed for cash can go ahead and lease out property at a lower rate while those who can wait, may perhaps choose to wait till the market revives in terms of rentals.
How do IT Parks in Chennai compare with that of Bangalore?
If you remember in 2002-2003, there were hardly any IT Parks in Chennai. But thanks to efforts from IPCs (International Property Consultants) like JLL (Jones Lang LaSalle) and CBRE (CB Richard Ellis), Chennai was pushed as a viable alternative to Bangalore. It was during that time that many developers, including our own company, went ahead and set up shop in Chennai. Today, there is a beeline of developers trying to develop IT Parks, so much so that it has created an excess of supply. Despite the positive market sentiments, it may take around three years to fill up the available space.
Is it imperative that IT Parks be concentrated in a cluster so there is focussed growth and development?
It is happening that way and that has a positive as well as a negative. If infrastructure development doesn't keep pace with occupiers growing in a location, the issues could be serious. That's what happened on Banerghatta Road (in Bangalore) in early 2005-2006. Development almost reached a choking point. Likewise with OMR. With all IT companies congregating in one corridor, it is natural for traffic to slow down. The introduction of a sound public transport system is, perhaps, the best possible solution.

Bangalore has beaten Madras in many areas :)--so Indian Sun is frustrated which is understandable---:lol: Isn't it IS??? ;)

Anyways Competition is good..let it be on

^^ I think competition is great- however - It really should be an apples-to-apples at grassroots competition : Bangalore boasts of a solid Services/BPO/IT industry - while Chennai is unbeatable as a manufacturing hub!! So competition is pretty much ruled out - industrially speaking!! We can compete in infrastructure though - but that's pretty much it and unless both cities start really making an effort to highlight that - we'll be pretty much left to forum bashing!!! Lets hope the Bangalore Chennai corridor starts that!!

Jai Hind!

Bangalore city in growth mode
Submitted by admin on October 14, 2010 – 12:05 pm

Bangalore

The city has regained its perch as a preferred destination for office and retail space, according to a Cushman & Wakefield report. Bangalore is expected to see highest cumulative demand of 42.1 million sft during 2010-14, followed by Mumbai at 37.5 million sft and NCR at 32 million sft, said the India Real Estate Investment report 2010 titled, ‘Riding the Wave-Re-emergence of Indian Realty Sector’ released on Wednesday. It also said, with the IT/IteS sector back on track, the city will see a surge in office space.
http://content.magicbricks.com/wp-content/themes/arthemia-premium/scripts/timthumb.php?src=/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/garden-city-150x150.jpg&w=150&h=150&zc=1&q=100
“Bangalore continues to be foremost in the office real estate sector and hold the largest share of the demand pie. It will be the only city where the demand would exceed the supply over the next five years. This is essentially because requirements of IT companies are much larger,’’ said Cushman & Wakefield India’s executive director (investment services) Manish Aggarwal.

The pan India office space demand in the period under review is estimated to be 240 million sft of which the top three cities (Bengaluru, NCR and Mumbai) comprise 46% of the total demand. The demand for retail sector is also expected to be the highest in Bangalore with approximately 7.6 million sft. However, the city ranks third in the hospitality sector and demand for room-nights is expected to be 9.8 million during the period.

The demand for retail space across the country is estimated to be 55 million sft and. NCR, Mumbai and Bengaluru are expected to account for about 37% of the total demand. Bengaluru is likely to witness the highest cumulative demand for mall space at approximately 7.7 million sq.ft by 2014, closely followed by Mumbai with demand anticipated at 6.5 million sq.ft.

http://content.magicbricks.com/bangalore-city-in-growth-mode

The report says growth in IT and ITeS sector would be the main reason for the spurt in demand in the city's real estate sector. "Despite inadequate infrastructure, IT companies still considered Bangalore a better bet than other cities," the report said. http://findarticles.com/p/news-articles/dna-daily-news-analysis-mumbai/mi_8111/is_20101009/bangalore-emerge-office-space-hotspot/ai_n55496212/

No i'm not that sure but i guess it passes this way iimb-mg road-shivajinagar-cantonment-fraser town-tannery road and then nagavar... somebody correct me if i'm wrong..

^^ In that case, IIMB-MG Road has to pass through Dairy Circle.

City of dreams? Over 8m slumdwellers in Mumbai by 2011
Mahendra Kumar Singh, TNN, Nov 15, 2010, 05.22am IST
NEW DELHI: The country's financial capital Mumbai will have around 8.68 million people living in slums by next year, notwithstanding the high growth economy and focus on " inclusiveness".

Mumbai is followed by Delhi with 3.16 million people estimated to be living in slums by 2011, compared to 2.3 million in 2001, according to a new methodology adopted by an expert panel appointed by the housing and urban poverty alleviation ministry. Though Mumbai's slum population was 6.5 million in the 2001 census, the panel's methodology estimated it at 6.8 million.

The expert committee, set up to estimate "reliable" urban slum population, said the country's slum population had grown by 17.8 million people in the last decade. The committee, headed by Pranab Sen, principal adviser to the Planning Commission and former chief statistician, projected the slum population in 2011 at 93.06 million, up from 75.26 million in 2001 as per the new methodology. The 2001 census figures pegged the slum population at 52.40 million.

Among metros, Kolkata will have around 1.78 million people living in slums by 2011 as against 1.57 million in 2001, followed by Chennai with 1.02 million as against 0.86 million.

Among states, Maharashtra tops the chart with around 18.15 million living in slums in 2011, followed by UP (10.87 million), TN (8.60 million), West Bengal (8.50 million) and Andhra Pradesh (8.10 million). According to the committee's estimates, Maharashtra's slum population in 2001 was 14.30 million, followed by UP (8.50 million), West Bengal (7.50 million), Tamil Nadu (7.30 million) and Andhra Pradesh (7.20 million), while 2001 census figures showed that 11.20 million of the total slum population of the country was in Maharashtra followed by Andhra Pradesh (5.20 million), UP (4.40 million) and West Bengal (4.10 million).

Tiruppur is at 84 whereas CBE is at 92. Biggest comedy. That itself proves that this list is totally unreliable and proves the point that "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."

Ever been to northern Karnataka ..if you not…just visit all place then you talk abt tamilnadu…abt mysore, it is a tourist place…thatz all…there is nothing apart from it..but you just learn/know abt Coimbatore or Tiruppur..then you compare with your clean cities mysuru and mangaluru..see..if you have a clean and beautiful empty bottle it won’t feed you when you feel hungry.. but I have a bottle with jerry fruits and dates…got it…thatz called “ Thanga Tamizhagam…or vantharai vazhavaikkum tamizhagam”… Tamil Nadu has the highest level of urbanisation (43.86%) in India

Geographically Tamilnadu smaller than Karnataka..but TN population higher than ur KA..so it does matter TN slum higher than KA or other state.. at least I proved of my TN state..bcoz every city in TN developed or developing its own ways …

For example…

Chennai- Detroid of Asia..(not just india)..also IT city

Coimbatore- textile city of india

Tirupur- knit city or cotton city of india

Erode- turmeric production & marketing, Jute, Hemp & Mesta Textile Products

Salem- steel city

Namakal- poultry hub of India

Sivakasi- wire work hub of india (80%).. called kutty japan (little japan)

Karur- hub for bus body building industries of india

Kanchipuram- silk city or temple city

Tanjore- rice bowl of india

Tuticorin or Thoothugudi- pearl city

I guess itz enough for you… and we have 3 major ports out of 12 in india… yeah Karnataka has one (mangalore).. and if we want to fly abroad.. our north-east TN people use Chennai airport, north-west TN people use ur bangalore airport..south TN people use Trivendram , centre TN people use Trichy airport (Madurai airport may be next year) and west TN people use both coimbatore and cochin.. so what I am telling you…if ur people want to fly abroad where they will go except blore and m’lore huhhhhh…....

It is serious… Tamilnadu state within 5 years it becomes a platinum state of india..so just imagine abt future tamilnadu…already we are rockinnnnnnnnnn……

Finally I want to tell you one thing… if Bangalore beats other cities like mumbai or delhi.. or chennai.. I feel happy bcoz.. blore is just geographically and politically in Karnataka but in people wise it is in TN… why I said like this… just take risk and read this article…..

Tamils form 42% of Bangalore's population and they have a large presence in nearly 50 wards, including Ulsoor, Bharatinagar, Gandhinagar, Prakashnagar, Chamarajpet, Yeshwantpur and Shantinagar.

This is reported by some mole tamil reporter of TOI.. not trustworthy.. thanks to hindi northies migrants to bangalore, tamils domination vanished from all parts of bangalore..

Ever been to northern Karnataka ..if you not…just visit all place then you talk abt tamilnadu…abt mysore, it is a tourist place…thatz all…there is nothing apart from it..but you just learn/know abt Coimbatore or Tiruppur..then you compare with your clean cities mysuru and mangaluru..see..if you have a clean and beautiful empty bottle it won’t feed you when you feel hungry.. but I have a bottle with jerry fruits and dates…got it…thatz called “ Thanga Tamizhagam…or vantharai vazhavaikkum tamizhagam”… Tamil Nadu has the highest level of urbanisation (43.86%) in India

Geographically Tamilnadu smaller than Karnataka..but TN population higher than ur KA..so it does matter TN slum higher than KA or other state.. at least I proved of my TN state..bcoz every city in TN developed or developing its own ways …

For example…

Chennai- Detroid of Asia..(not just india)..also IT city

Coimbatore- textile city of india

Tirupur- knit city or cotton city of india

Erode- turmeric production & marketing, Jute, Hemp & Mesta Textile Products

Salem- steel city

Namakal- poultry hub of India

Sivakasi- wire work hub of india (80%).. called kutty japan (little japan)

Karur- hub for bus body building industries of india

Kanchipuram- silk city or temple city

Tanjore- rice bowl of india

Tuticorin or Thoothugudi- pearl city

I guess itz enough for you… and we have 3 major ports out of 12 in india… yeah Karnataka has one (mangalore).. and if we want to fly abroad.. our north-east TN people use Chennai airport, north-west TN people use ur bangalore airport..south TN people use Trivendram , centre TN people use Trichy airport (Madurai airport may be next year) and west TN people use both coimbatore and cochin.. so what I am telling you…if ur people want to fly abroad where they will go except blore and m’lore huhhhhh…....

hi akash...just leave it alll...

hahaha..ppl dont forget this is blore discussions thread..some random name props in and tries to pull down our pants widout checking if his pant is tight enough!!

:ohno::ohno:Could both the groups stop this discussion and continue with bangalore !!!! :ohno::ohno:

Chennai posters come here to entertain us----Laughing stocks---:lol:

Akash , Please Mind ur language ...There are ppl like me who r from chennai ... Who have nothing against KA/Bangalore ...

Dont get excited by a link u got and go overboard ... passing general comments about ppl !!!

it holds the same for the raji nd amar..why r we wasting time here??

^^ That is why request both the side to put off the discussion..It was like kids fighting :lol: ..On both side i didnt find facts to make sense !!!

BTW one question it all started when akash quoted that link and compared about tn towns??! why do u bring other cities/towns in to discussion ??? and invite spamming (in your sense)!!!

As Gentem said , if u feel Chennai is not worth to be compared with Bangalore .. Dont pull it up here !!!!

Cheers continue with bang. discussion

There will always be someone who doesn't like others' point of view even when proved with facts. So, there is no point in debating endlessly.

@Amar, Raji and others - don't bring in non-Blore discussions and hijack this thread. :bash:

@gentem - would request you to stop highlighting comparisons and throwing up vague comments that would invite others to flame this thread. We all know how your Delhi comparison drew Delhi crowds here and became a battleground for Delhi vs Mumbai. :bash: Look at what you have said, "thanks to hindi northies migrants to bangalore, tamils domination vanished from all parts of bangalore..". Someone reading this comment and want to flame this thread will pull you up and say "Then, what were Kannadigas doing all this while?". Do we want these here? If you have a problem with people from certain parts of India, it is up to you. Do not bring into this forum. :bash::bash::bash::bash:

@Akash, Nandan, catchshash, think-tank, Mahesh Nanjunda - request you guys to protest against gentem too the way in which you protest against others' comments. Only this will stabilize this thread.

DarkPrinz,

U probably are turning a blind eye to the wider picture . This might be a one off case u quote that akash has put in a link, but this is just in retaliation to what u guys have been doing in ur((chennai ) forums for a long time now.

The day, the plans for the extension of BIAL were unveiled, there were some pretty uncalled for comparisons in the chennai forum.

So please see where this all started before pointing fingers towards any of the bangalore forumers.

It appears to be a bogus shill for a fast-buck. Don't fall for the glitz. Remember Orange Properties European township? Many Bangaloreans fell for the "European" and are now penniless.

This interested me - so I did a little digging. Looks like a massive fraud - with a 360 degree envelope (offices in posh localities, taxi ferry service, website et al) . 400 people got duped of their life's savings! Found their website and it showed something VERY interesting:


Source : Link (http://www.orangeproperties.biz/projects/granity.htm)


http://www.orangeproperties.biz/images/projects/vmax/vmaksrose_1.gif


BDA came out telling people to look look look at their website for approved localities before putting their money into private real estate developers!! Sad for the 400 investors - but at some level - was their greed responsible for such a catastrophic oversight? Many were Software engineers!!

Mahanagara Palike steps in to stem the rot, initiates legal action

Bangalore, Nov 16, DHNS

Any guesses how many trees in Bangalore are tacked with advertisements?

Thanks to advertisers and the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike apparently looking the other way, as many as 15 lakh of the City’s estimated 25 lakh trees are nailed with adverts!:bash::bash:

In almost all the cases, nails are used to tack the advertisements because glues do not work for a longer period on trees.

Though there are many firms that use trees to flash their advertisements, salesmen of a particular private telephone company have earned notoriety for damaging trees.

Stringent action

The Palike is empowered to take stringent action against the advertisers under the Tree Preservation Act, 1976, and the Karnataka Municipal Act, for damaging trees and defacing public property.

But it never used this weapon. While the advertisers are saving money by “bleeding” the trees, the Palike is losing advertisement revenue and the City’s beauty, too.

Not a tree spared

A software engineer from RMV Extension, E G Jaideep, who took up the task of saving trees from callous advertisers, told Deccan Herald that he did not find a single roadside tree anywhere in Bangalore that was not without advertisement.

"Almost all the trees today are injured... and woefully, the civic authorities have not taken any stringent measure to check the practice,” said Jaideep.

To highlight the condition of the trees, he and his team members photographed trees with advertisements in various locations of Bangalore and submitted them along with a memorandum to Palike Commissioner Siddaiah.

Jaideep also wrote a letter to the chief managing director of the telecom company concerned against its salesmen.

Days before Jaideep submitted the memorandum, Siddaiah saw for himself the ugly deeds of the advertisers during an inspection of the Jayanagar Assembly constituency. The local MLA, corporators and the residents showed him the trees tacked with
advertisements.

Legal action

Siddaiah then instructed the deputy conservator of forest to initiate legal action against the advertisers and remove the advertisements from all the trees and report the progress at the earliest.

Following the directive, the deputy conservator of forest on Tuesday issued a public notification warning that action under Section 15 of the Tree Preservation Act, 1976, and Section 367, sub-Section 31, of the Karnataka Municipal Act, 1949, would be initiated against the advertisers if they did not remove the adverts within 10 days from the day of publication of the notification.

Ok which one of you guys saw this over Bangalore? :P


http://deathby1000papercuts.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Dancing-Light-UFO-Bangalore-India-Nov.-11-2010.png

‘Dancing Light’ UFO filmed over Bangalore, India, Nov. 14, 2010

Update: Added a fourth video of a similar UFO caught on film on Nov. 13th over Ventotene, an island in the Tyrrhenian Sea located 25 miles off the coast of Italy and Lazio.

Update: Similar UFO filmed over Buenos Aires on Nov. 3rd added to videos.

Earlier we put up a post with two Youtube UFO videos, ‘UFO’s’ we dubbed the ‘Dancing Light’. The two videos posted on Youtube on Nov. 14th. One video, a news report from Hallsville, TX, and a video filmed by an individual in Ghana. We were contacted by the news station, KLTV, who sent gave us the link to the original story which was reported November 1, 2009. The behavior of the UFO filmed in Texas seemed to us similar to the behavior of the UFO captured on film one year later in Ghana. We went back to Youtube for the latest UFO’s and found two other videos posted today, one from Ireland and the other from India. Both UFO’s, eerily similar to the UFO filmed in Ghana and the one filmed last year in Texas. Based on the info posted with the videos, all three UFO’s were filmed with a 24 hr period at separate locations across the globe.

Are they UFO’s? We don’t know. We do think the videos are interesting and worth noting to our readers.

Delhi: How building laws are subverted

Sidharth Pandey, Updated: November 18, 2010 10:40 IST

New Delhi: Following the Delhi building collapse in which 69 people have died, the focus has now shifted to illegal buildings that are made flouting every rule.
http://slowrazor.com/nppxjoj.php?sV8j1TtrTwfql3RIqrW8Hg=nSJf3rmWensuhsvhG0Hq1n0Jm%2B%2BMBRqfhxNzDh0GI9q6mq4oKdW4iEJEG%2BYjSCGxo38oCB7%2FxmIzXgCrM%2BnrgpmCxgW04lLXNIu0DySKc1Y%3D
The people are angry over the issue. Over the years, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) and other officials allowed these buildings to come up. Now the same officials are conducting surveys and declaring the buildings unsafe and literally throwing the people out on the streets.

In Laxmi Nagar, the MCD has conducted a quick survey and found 38 buildings illegal and unsafe to live in - officials had not spotted these buildings for years in their routine surveys. Definitely not the building that collapsed!

Sources have told NDTV that a lot of buildings here are illegal.

Cheap and shoddy structures, activists allege, are routinely constructed by builders and local politicians who bribe MCD officials to get clearances in this riverside land where no constructions are permitted to begin with.http://www.ndtv.com/article/cities/delhi-how-building-laws-are-subverted-66991
they were building illegal 5th floor, people were residing in below floors :bash:

Why are you posting that in Bangalore thread? ^^ I thought you could read.

Why are you posting that in Bangalore thread? ^^ I thought you could read.

This being a discussion thread it is fine---It is an eyeopener,many such buildings exist in most of the cities in India.Bangalore palike must identify unauthorized construction in all its wards

yeah gentem

Even Pedder road, one of the poshest areas in mumbai builders constructed illegal floors.

for eg they had permission to construct 10 floors but ended up constructing 15. Though the building was structurally sound it was still illegal.

I believe Sunil Gavaskar and Mangeshkar sisters lost their flats in that

^^ but this is different case.. 15 year old habituated building of 4 floors.. they tried to build 5th floor now and it collapsed

We are at a stage where city comparisons and fights are getting tiresome. People like gentem are taking this to new levels and using this as a ground to target people more than places or cities. This has spoiled this forum to the core. :bash::bash::bash:

@gentem - nothing will change because your posts :bash::bash:. Learn to respect others while posting comments targeting certain sections of society. :)

Im not alone here, see:
@ Mods:

The amount of North India-bashing in most Chennai/TN threads these days is getting pretty annoying..

Practically every thread seems to degenerate into a whine session of how the Central Govt. is out to discriminate against TN and how badly North Indians treat South Indians (well, just Tamilians, actually)..

It is getting seriously irritating to see every thread derailed by the same people over and over again with their standard gripes, imaginary or otherwise..

Most regular forumers must have noticed this in a variety of threads, from Chennai Airport Updates to Chennai Metro Updates to the Chennai-Bangalore Industrial Corridor, and of course, in ALL the Chennai sub-forum threads..

Can you please dole out some tough love to repeat offenders and keep an eye on at least the threads in the main Indian forums to try and keep it clean?

+1

It is just tiring and I'm trying to control myself but this one person who is posting in nearly all the threads is really getting on my nerves. Some of the remarks are just downright derogatory and foolish.

we better stay off "economy and real estate" thread for general discussions.. that thread got deleted once :ohno: I dont want to change all chauvinists in chennai forum, only those who come here to bangalore forum

Im not alone here, see:

I disagree with you calling others chauvinists. You can say that they are passionate about what belongs to them. :)

Even when these are posted in the Blore threads, you can still shy away and close this ASAP instead of making personal comments and dragging this. Its not fun for regular visitors. We wanna share ideas and what's happening around us; not an individual's perceptions about people. For that, you can write your own blogs. :D

fog this morning.. winter arrives in style :banana:

India is a vast and diverse country, and equity considerations demand that the benefits of a global event be shared by different states.


China seems to be excelling itself in the conduct of international games. The spectacular opening ceremony of the Asian Games in Guangzhou, the third largest city in China, has been rated better than even that of the Beijing Olympics held two years ago.

The purpose of this article is not to make any comparison with the Commonwealth Games held earlier in Delhi but to raise an entirely different issue about the venue of the games. India has till now hosted two Asian and one Commonwealth games and all of them in Delhi. The question is whether all such events should be held in the national capital. There is no doubt that as of now, Delhi is the best equipped city in the country to host such international events. It has the necessary infrastructure in terms of stadia, accommodation and other facilities. No wonder, it is eyeing the prospect of bidding for Olympics at a future date.

Notwithstanding the superior advantages of Delhi, it is time we give serious consideration to holding some of the future international games in some other Indian city. There are good reasons for doing so. First, India is a vast and diverse country and equity considerations demand the benefits of such a global event be shared by different states.

Secondly, there are at least another five cities spread across the country capable of hosting such games — Mumbai in the west, Kolkota in the east, Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad in the south. The existing infrastructure in these cities will of course not meet the requirements to conduct world class games. However, a big sporting event will, apart from giving a fillip to sports in the region, provide an opportunity to upgrade the infrastructure and other facilities in the city where it is held.

If the powers that be could spend an astronomical sum of Rs 70,000 crore towards the CWG (how much of it was misspent or misused is another matter), why not make a similar or appropriate investment in another city?

Let us look at some examples in other countries. In the United States, all the Olympic games till now have been held outside its national capital, Washington, which, of course, is not such a large city. Nor was the megacity, the premier international urban centre, New York, the automatic choice. In fact, each time, a new venue was chosen.

It was St Louis in 1904, Los Angeles in 1984 and Atlanta in 1996. In Germany, the Olympics were first held in Berlin in 1936 and then shifted to Munich in 1972.

Similarly, in Australia, the choice was Melbourne in 1956 and Sydney in 2000. In China, while the Olympics were held in capital city of Beijing in 2008, the authorities opted for Guangzhou for the Asian games this year. So also in South Korea, a much smaller country, while its capital city of Seoul hosted the Olympics in 1988, the Asian games in 2002 were held in Busan and the next one in 2014 is proposed at Incheon.

DELHI - A pampered city

In India, for some reason or the other, Delhi seems to be the favoured city, not only for sporting events, but in other respects too; it is indeed a pampered city. The munificence of the Central government on the capital is all too evident in the huge investments made on its infrastructure.

The first phase of the much acclaimed Delhi Metro has been built at a staggering cost of Rs 10,500 crore and the latest showpiece, the international airport has consumed another Rs 12,700 crore. Don’t be under the impression that the citizens of Delhi are burdened with high taxes for all such blessings. In fact, they pay much less for services than their counterparts in other cities.

Take the case of petrol and diesel. Their prices are the lowest in Delhi compared to other metros. This highly subsidised city has also ensured that the country’s governing class, the ministers, the MPs and senior bureaucrats enjoy the luxury of living in sprawling bungalows and the babus of all grades comfortably reside in government quarters, all paying a pittance of their salaries as rent.

And behold the benefits heaped on Delhi by the CWG, to give the city a new look. A new games village to accommodate 8,000 athletes and officials was built at a cost of Rs 2,000 crore. Another Rs 8,000 crore were spent in improving the city’s infrastructure — roads, bridges, flyovers and five new stadia, apart from upgrading the existing ones.

A 2.2 km underground tunnel was constructed between Lodhi Road and Trans Yamuna. The bus fleet was augmented by adding 2,276 extra buses and the Metro network was extended. The power plant capacity was enhanced from 4,500 to 7,000 mw to ensure adequate and continuous power supply. Terminal 3 of the new international airport was got ready with 130 check-in counters and 55 aerobridges.
Imagine all such benefits flowing to Bangalore! To realise this, I suggest that the Asian Games in 2018 should be held in India’s IT capital. It may appear a long wait, but mind you, the preparations have to start right now. It’s one sure way of making the civic authorities wake up to the tremendous task ahead and work with vision and zeal to make the city what it should be for a big international event. It will galvanise all the stakeholders and the citizens to work for a common cause. And a substantial amount of money will come from the Central government.

Above all, it would be a great opportunity to transform Bangalore into a truly world class city.

yes..TN is the state with highest perrcentage of pop in urban areas..look at the other states..ppl prefer their estates and smaller distribution with a lot of space around..with UP's pop, it would llok like most urban..but its towns r not developed to be called urban..but many surveys r made assuming the city STD code is the same for the entire city and whichever area comes under that code is considered to be a part of the city..this is done because spontaneous action is taken by telcom section than the corporations to reframe their limits..one thing that can be noticed is that in TN, all districts hav a single code for each of them..for example, kancheepuram, ehich is 70km away from chennai also has the same STD code 044..same is the case for other cities too..its the same procedure followed by kerala telecom districts to assign the same code for the entire district because of shortage of codes for new towns..that may be the reason why tn has been judged as the state wid max urban pop%..

It’s time to start up in Bangalore (http://www.dnaindia.com/lifestyle/report_it-s-time-to-start-up-in-bangalore_1469910)
Published: Sunday, Nov 21, 2010, 16:51 IST
By Ipsita Basu Dasgupta | Place: Bangalore | Agency: DNA

A recent report in the New York Times said how start-ups were clambering to find a place in the same building as the social networking and micro-blogging site Twitter. The logic being Twitter’s good charm would rub off onto their walls to get their businesses up and running. If this reasoning rings true, then Bangalore is sure going the right way. The city, known for its technology hub status, is turning out to be the start up capital of the country, with entrepreneurs trooping in by the day.

With numerous start-up businesses coming up each day, the pensioner’s paradise may soon be known as the fortune hunter’s haven. No longer just a garden city, or a pub capital, Bangalore is now the hub for new ideas turning into business opportunities.

From customised food products for pets, organising innovative weddings, travel planning, technology-solution start-ups, theme-based restaurants, social entrepreneurship, the list is simply exhausting. Every space or segment is explored and exploited for new thought. Ravindranath P, executive director of The Indus Entrepreneurs (TIE) Bangalore chapter, an organisation that mentors and helps start-ups in Bangalore, says,

“There definitely has been an increase in the last couple of years in professionals wanting to start out their own ventures.”
The network, which is 800 members strong in the city, is ranked among the top five, in their global set up that stretches between 22 chapters in the US, 18 other global cities and 16 in India and sees almost 25 new members joining in every month.

So what really makes Bangalore a great platform for start-ups? Is it because it still is a nascent market, or is it because it is not as uphill a task here, as compared to bigger metro cities? Both, say first-timers who have started their businesses in Bangalore.
As 23-year-old Ritika Bhargava, who gave up on her job in a paint factory after having studied engineering from one of the premier colleges, to run a successful wedding planning company says,

“Bangalore is still starved for good things and so the chance to establish a business here is much easier. Also, it is a youthful city, with young professionals who have the spending capacity and are open to new thoughts and ideas. They don’t mind spending that extra bit, if they get what they are looking for,” Ritika explains.

Another reason is cumulative growth, points out CA aspirant-turned photographer Auditya Venkatesh. “In Bangalore many are starting businesses of their own. So they understand the challenges and want to work with each other for collaborative growth,” he points out, adding that almost fiver percent of his friends in their early twenties prefer to turn entrepreneurs than take up regular jobs.

Social entrepreneur, Tarun Hukku, who runs chotaGolf, an initiative to promote Golf at all levels, explains that the city’s exposure to global communities and thinking citizens are other reasons that encourage entrepreneurship. “Bangalore understands that promoting intellectual talent has great payback,” he remarks, illustrating the IT industry’s international fame and rapid expansion. “The city has more intellectual depth than others in the race,” he reiterates.

However, turning into an entrepreneur is not an easy job. The challenges of ensuring a steady income and the ever-omnipresent risk of failure are always on the horizon. The end results however are worth the effort, says Ritika. “I meet so many different kinds of people and always have the opportunity to work on a new idea. A regular job might not allow that,” she says.

Also the fact that she owns her own freedom is another big attribute to being an entrepreneur. “I can take holidays, make time for myself, when I want too. That is difficult in a 9-to-5 set up, where the hours of work invariably stretch,” she adds. Job satisfaction guaranteed, we say!

My vote is for Suresh Kumar. An honest and straight forward worker. He ahs comeup the hard way is known for his simplicity. He is a non-greedy politician with a clean image and we require somebody like that to improve the image of Karnataka spoilt by Yeddy, Reddy & Gowdas.

Other two are also somewhat tarnished (though not to the level of Yeddy & Reddy). So best bet is Suresh Kumar.

21 November 2010 (Bangalore)

In a historic day for the Indian cricket, former Test captain Anil Kumble was elected as President of the Karnataka State Cricket Association and the group led by him won 23 out of the 24 posts that went to the polls on Sunday.

Kumble defeated Srikantadatta Narasimharaja Wodeyar, scion of the Mysore Royal family, by a margin of 33 votes.

Former fast bowler Javagal Srinath became the Honorary Secretary after defeating former umpire A V Jayaprakash.

Srinath's pace colleague in his playing days, Venkatesh Prasad, Roger Binny and Sadanand Mayya were elected Vice-Presidents.

Binny, who was re-elected to the post, said these elections will change the face of the cricket in the state.

"It's a land mark victory which will change the perception of sportsmen entering into the administration. Personally for me, this is one of the sweetest victories in an election," Binny, the hero of the 1983 World Cup wining Indian team, told PTI.

Asked about the aim of the new elected team, he said,"Cricket and cricketers will get the foremost priority. Our main endeavour will be to improve the standard of cricket in Karnataka and develop a great infrastructure at the grassroots level," Binny said.

B’lore to get IAF cover against terror attack

NEWDELHI : Bangalore will be among the four major cities in the country to be provided airshield Indian Air Force to thwart any terrorist attempts using aerial route.
Aiming to prevent any 9/11 type attack in the country, the IAF is planning to deploy detachments of fighter aircraft close to Mumbai, Delhi and Pune besides Bangalore to scuttle such attempts.

Under its plan, a small detachment of three to four dedicated aircraft would be deployed close to these cities to provide cover against any threats from hijacked aircraft, low speed and high speed aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), micro-light aircraft, paragliders, balloons and remote-controlled aero models.

“Now also, the IAF provides aerial protection to these cities but under the new plan, it will have dedicated aircraft roundthe-clock for carrying out these responsibilities,” senior Defence Ministry officials said.

The protection provided to these cities would be the same as that provided to the national Capital during the Commonwealth Games, they added.

Officials said that to provide a robust aerial cover to these cities, the IAF will also go ahead with strengthening of its ground-based infrastructure and enhance capabilities for an early detection of incoming enemy aircraft. PTI

Youth form human chain against tree felling

BANGALORE:A group of youngsters formed a human chain on Sunday to register their protest against the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike plan to fell 856 trees on Jayamahal Road to widen it.
Slamming the rationale behind chopping the trees, the protesters, under the aegis of the Wild Forever Foundation and Hasiru Usiru, said that the BBMP "should first do something to reduce the number of vehicles than mindlessly axe the trees".

"The civic agency says it has to cut down the trees to widen the roads and decongest vehicular movement. Without doing anything to reduce the number of vehicles, the BBMP has come up with road-widening plan just to hide its inefficiency,” Vinay, a volunteer with Hasiru Usiru, said. Wider roads, according to another volunteer Shaheen, will throw up more problems. "Elders and children struggle to cross the roads. With wider roads, it will be even tougher.

Besides, widening 226 roads will result in loss of as many as 40,000 trees. Even if four lakh saplings are planted in compensation, it will be a long time for them to grow besides where is the space to plant these saplings?" she asked.

According to the activists, Bangalore should seriously think of adopting the Ahmedabad model where buses have dedicated lanes for increased speed.

In addition, instead of spending Rs 5,338 crore on the High Speed Rail Link (HSRL), the money could be used for providing five lakh free cycles and also build cycle lanes. The agitators also criticised the BBMP for not consulting the citizens before undertaking road-widening projects in the City.

Crisis hurting BBMP projects too
Aarthi R, TNN, Nov 23, 2010, 04.22am IST

BANGALORE: The political crisis in the state is hitting fund-starved Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike hard -- it's still waiting for the special grant of Rs 1,300 crore from the government.

Not a single paisa has come into BBMP's kitty, admit members of the tax and finance committee. During the last council meeting, mayor S K Nataraj announced that the chief minister would be at the BBMP council on November 22 to announce the government's special grant. But, on Monday, CM B S Yeddyurappa was in Delhi, trying to save his own seat. When contacted, the mayor said: "I cannot talk now.''

BBMP's ambitious revised budget of over Rs 8,800 crore for 2010-11 is largely dependent on the grant. According to BBMP sources, at least Rs 400 crore was raised in the budget without any proper fund source. With no clarity on Akrama-Sakrama yet and poor prospects of JN-NURM funds, the BBMP was banking on this special grant.

The future looks bleak, considering the revised budget sent to the government for approval took at least 20 days. The approval had come in with a note from the urban development department that the BBMP would have to manage funds on its own and that no special grant will come in from the government. The mayor's announcement last month was a ray of hope.

There's no mention of the grant in the state budget. So, if there's a change in CM, there's little he can do to help.

There seems little progress on works as well. The programme of works (POW) for all 198 wards was duly submitted in the council last month. Till date, none has been approved. According to senior councillors, this is perhaps the longest delay ever. "There is no legal provision for this approval in the Karnataka Municipal Corporation Act but it's a customary practice that takes just 2-3 days,'' they said.

Though pothole filling work started across many wards, the actual POW for it is yet to be formally approved. This was one of the three POWs announced by commissioner Siddaiah in the council last month. Others include silt and tract (taking silt with tractor) and desilting of storm water drains.

Revised estimates

Receipts: Rs 8,857.97 crore

Expenditure: Rs 8,849.39 crore

BBMP'S REAL LIABILITIES FOR 2010-11

Pending bills: Rs 1,700 crore

Ongoing 3,925 works: Rs 2,244 crore

Towards loan repayment: Rs 592 crore

General administration: Rs 500 crore

Health (Including SWM): Rs 336 crore

Welfare: Rs 600 crore

Capital investment works: Rs 4,878 crore

RESOURCES FROM

JN-NURM: Rs 195 crore

State Finance Commission (SFC): Rs 403.69 crore

Special grant from state government: Rs 1,300 crore

13th finance commission grant: Rs 122 crore

TROUBLED FUTURE?

* By a realistic estimate, BBMP's total liability for 2010-11 will be around Rs 3,390 crore. Of this, 2,504.13 crore will be spent on completion of 15,301 works taken up during 2009-10 and at least Rs 895 crore on loan repayments

* Budgetary allocation for past year was only Rs 1,857 crore. More than half the amount came through loans. BBMP is already neck-deep in loans

* BBMP's latest borrowal was Rs 1,000 crore from three nationalized banks to clear outstanding bills as on November 2009 for works that year. Borrowal permitted by government order of March 6, 2010 based on resolution passed by BBMP administrator on January 6, 2010

* Loan was in addition to earlier amount borrowed Rs 959.7 crore from IDBI and Rs 500 crore from Internal Extra Borrowing Resources. All to clear work orders worth Rs 4,188 crore issued in 2009-10

Ask her whether she has any dream roles in mind and you will get a quick ‘no’ from her. “When you look back at the roles I have played, you will notice one thing. Except for the role I played in Bhool Bhulaiyaa, they have all been positive characters. So I would like to play sensible, positive and performance-oriented roles. If good scripts come my way, I am even open to regional films,” she says.

It has been six years since she last came to Bangalore. During this visit, she fell in love with the City all over again. “When I arrived at the Bangalore International Airport, for a moment I felt like I was in a foreign country. It was not the same six years ago. My journey from the airport to the City was so wonderful that I am jealous of Bangaloreans,” she jokes.

16. Bihar, Jharkhand

Bihar and Jharkhand together barely got any FDI inflows during the period. The two states together got only $0.4 million (Rs 2 crore) as foreign direct investment from April to August 2010.

Meanwhile, according to an expert, the main reasons for the maximum inflows in Maharashtra and NCR are substantial improvements in infrastructure and pro-active approach of the governments.

"Infrastructure in these areas has improved considerably and that is making them attractive destination for FDI in India," said Rakesh Joshi, an international trade expert at Indian Institute of Foreign Trade.

Music, drum beats welcome Yeddyurappa in Bangalore (http://news.in.msn.com/national/article.aspx?cp-documentid=4622048)

Bangalore, Nov 24 (IANS) 'Nadaswaram' music, drum beats and slogan shouting supporters welcomed Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa as he landed here Wednesday from New Delhi after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) decided to retain him in the post despite allegations of corruption.

Amid slogans of 'Bharat Mata ki jai' (Hail mother India) and 'Yeddyurappanavarige jayavagali' (victory to Yeddyurappa), the chief minister told reporters that the party had not imposed any condition for his remaining in the post.

'There is no condition. The message is I should continue as chief minister for the remaining two-and-half years (of the five-year term) and work for the development of the state,' he said responding to questions.

Earlier in the day, the BJP announced in New Delhi that Yeddyurappa would remain chief minister despite demands for his resignation following allegations that he favoured his relatives in allotment of prime land.

Yeddyurappa accused the opposition parties - Congress and Janata Dal-Secular - of 'raising unnecessary questions and making baseless allegations (against him)'.

Referring to the sweeping victory of the JDU-BJP alliance in Bihar and the rout of Congress, he said: 'Congress should realise at least now and stop levelling baseless allegations.'

He added that state BJP chief K.S. Eshwarappa and ministers and other party leaders would extensively tour the state to ensure the party's victory in district elections due next month.

Yeddy Receives Hero’s Welcome in Bangalore, Swears by Development Mantra

From Our Special Correspondent
Daijiworld Media Network - Bangalore

Bangalore, Nov 24: A visibly relieved Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa, who managed to hold on to his chair and stay in power despite being asked by the BJP national high command to resign over the spate of allegations of nepotism, favouritism and other irregularities in various land allotments, denotifications and other scams, reached Bangalore to a hero’s welcome on Wednesday evening.

Enthusiastic BJP workers and leaders, led by former minister and state planning board’s deputy chairman Ramachandra Gowda, excise minister M P Renukacharya, MLA Nandish Reddy and others, accompanied by traditional bands and blowing of trumpets and conches extended a boisterous welcome to the chief minister as if he was returning to the city after conquering a war for retaining his power.

http://www.daijiworld.com/images1/yeddelhi_112410-1.jpg

Yeddyurappa, who landed at the old HAL airport in the city in the evening, profusely thanked the BJP national leadership for reposing their confidence in him and offering him an opportunity to continue to serve the people of Karnataka for the remaining two and half years.

"Development, Development and Development will be the mantra of my government. I will continue to work for the development of the state," he declared.

He asserted that his immediate priority was to win the ensuing taluk and zilla panchayat polls in the State.
"I will continue the development programmes and pro-people welfare schemes. I will be touring the state along with State BJP president K S Eshwarappa, home and transport minister R Ashok and all other ministers and MLAs. All of us will unitedly work for the success of the BJP in the coming local body elections," he said.

The chief minister was under pressure not only from the opposition Congress and JD(S) parties but also leaders from other parties and was finally asked by the BJP national president Nitin Gadkari and others after the land scams involving the Yeddyurappa regime reached alarming proportions. However, Yeddyurappa tried his best to resist the mounting demand for his resignation even as BJP opposition leader in the Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj and her counterpart in the Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitely, senior party leader Venkaiah Naidu and former Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani to put in his papers.

The BJP had asked Yeddyurappa to quit following the serious charges of land scam, nepotism, favouritism and other irregularities in view of the party’s campaign to force the ruling Congress-led UPA regime to sack the Maharashtra chief minister Ashok Chavan in the Adarsh housing society scam, Suresh Kalmadi over the Commonwealth Games scam and DMK’s Telecommunications Minister A Raja over the 2G spectrum scam in order to demonstrate that it was serious about its fight against corruption.

Yeddyurappa had reportedly threatened to bring down the government in the state if he was forced to quit even as the BJP high command offered him the opportunity of naming his successor. He had even prevailed upon most of the seers of the Lingayat Mutts to rally round him and warn the BJP national leadership of their resistance to any moves to dethrone a chief minister belonging to the community.

A jubiliant Chief Minister boasted that the opposition Congress and JD(S) parties had resorted to leveling false and baseless allegations against him out of jealousy over his government’s spectacular performance during the last two and half years to tarnish his image.

"I will give a befitting reply to the Congress and JD(S) leaders and expose all the scams during their regime in the past. Instead of indulging in these malicious tactics, let the opposition parties behave responsibly and cooperate with the government in carrying out its developmental agenda and programmes," he said asserting that he would prove that the people supported the government.

Asked about the remarks by Tourism and Infrastrcture Development Minister G Janaradhana Reddy at the Kanaka Jayanti celebrations criticising the Lingayat Mutt swamijis for supporting the chief minister and behaving as if they were representing a caste and community and the demand that the swamijis should support honest and upright persons, the chief minister said he would not like to react to such issues without ascertaining facts.

"My focus and priority is only to work for the development of the state and ensure that the BJP secured a thumping majority in the coming taluk and zilla panchayat polls," he said pointing out that his government had won the second place among all states, behind BJP-ruled Gujarat, in the implementation of the 20-point economic programme of the Centre and had also been rated as one of the best state for its financial management.

The Chief Minister congratulated Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar and deputy chief minister Sushil Kumar on the JD(U)-BJP combine’s spectacular victory in the Bihar assembly polls. "It is a lesson for the Congress party," he said declaring that the BJP would prove its strength in Karnataka’s local body elections too.

god bless BJP

I want Kumarswamy to see all these pics.....:banana:

He may be the leader and I had so much hope for him to lead our state into a whole new era but instead he goes and manages to scam the public....damn shameful...plus threatening the BJP top brass about bringing down the BJP in Karnataka just seemed like a last ditch desperate attempt to save his skin:ohno:

he is the tallest leader of karnataka, shut up and put up with it. nobody else dont even come close.. bjp top brass is not, and should not be as powerful as congress high command, congressmen only know to chant "yes, madam". so when will he inaugerate our agara flyover? :cheers:

I am of the view that if Ministers are corrupt let them be but please work for development.BJP ministers are corrupt but still I support them only for the reason that Congress and JD(S) men are more corrupt :lol:

so some of the members here are brain washed by yediyurappa. congress for progress. BJP is good in gujrat i agree but it is worst in karnataka.

didn't understood your reply.

:nuts:

from where did you reach this conclusion??

:nuts:

from where did you reach this conclusion??

Stay in Karnataka you will realize

^^ +1 - ANY DAY Yeddy is superior to the Father-Son duo of HDK (the sleeping farmer) and Kumaraswamy (the Power Monger)! Sure they're ALL power mongers - but JD(S) seems to only want power -and do NOTHING else - except BLOCK development that's against THEIR notion!

My friend's an IAS in the Karnataka Cadre and he's had the fortune (or misfortune) of working under MOST these politicians. According to him - The Dharam Singh/Deve Gowda/JH Patel/Bangarappa regimes were the most destructive. SM Krishna was the most progressive and Yeddy comes second to SM Krishna in terms of political activism when it comes to development!!!

According to him - Dharam Singh was so destructive that officers and public servants had completely lost all faith in Karnataka, which at the time was being pointed to as the next BIHAR, had things gone the way they were in Dharam Singhs administration - and the scams he pulled were so brazen - that in today's Karnataka - he would seem as Satan himself. However, He was adept in hiding everything - while Yeddy as a first timer - is probably not familiar with that tact!!:)

Case in point - Dharam Singh "gave" a property in Bangalore to Jain Trust hospital - overturning a proposal by a US returned NRI to build a super-speciality Paetriatic hospital - something that would be sort of a first in South India!! This he did for 5 crores. I have innumerable such cases which we discussed ! Yeddy's govt - though still corrupt -seems Saintly in comparison - which should put at least some things in perspective!

So please judge Yeddy by what he is doing - and not what he's not done!!:)

hmm how the hell did Dharam singh even come to power?

Yes, And also surname Singh is he North Indian.

no i mean if he was that shit a ruler how the hell was he reelected?

I agree with you Sixsigma,things went worse during Dharam singh's tenure,that was the period when our state degraded while other states progressed cashing on the good economic situation prevalent then.
SM Krishna is no saint he did lot more than what Yeddi did for his family,how can you forget Mr Siddharth Gowda the Coffee barron,CEO of CCD.Yeddiyurappa has been quite actively involving himself at the grass root level unlike other CMs in the past.I can see a Veerendra Patil in him-(veerendra Patil was the CM of Karnataka-believed to be the strongest CMs of the state till date).Most of the local media in the state are owned by opposition party members who only show case wrongdoings,personally I feel Yeddurappa needs to stay to finish off Deve Gowda politics in the state.I am basically from Belgaum and I have seen myself the rapid development happening in North Karnataka,previous govts were only interested in Bangalore region,it is for the first time that something new is happening in north karnataka.BSY's exit will prove suicidal for BJP,he holds great command over north karnataka regions.It was north Karnataka which helped BJP form the first govt in the state.
These days politics has been redefined,we must see who is least corrupt and align ourselves with them.You will not foind Mr Clean person in politics on this earth take it from me....

so some of the members here are brain washed by yediyurappa. congress for progress. BJP is good in gujrat i agree but it is worst in karnataka.

didn't understood your reply.

Don't you? I don't understand why you guys lobby for political parties, look at the developments and then decide, congress for progress is it? were they drunk last 60 years? and BJP in gujrat is ok, huh? were you one of those who participated in the riots?

Talk about progress man, what changes have you seen and that sort of thing. There are no good and bad parties, vote for the party or the leader who stays true to his/her portfolio- that's democracy for you.

Yes, And also surname Singh is he North Indian.
He is a lambani singh a tribal group mainly found in north east karnataka region

Stay in Karnataka you will realize

it depends on region to region... i would never vote to BJP in haryana or delhi BUT vote to only bjp in gujarat or bihar and not vote bjp and inc in orissa....

no i mean if he was that shit a ruler how the hell was he reelected?

Ask Congress high command.....Sonia madam ji

it depends on region to region... i would never vote to BJP in haryana or delhi BUT vote to only bjp in gujarat or bihar and not vote bjp and inc in orissa....

This is also a valid point. Everyone's aware of the nightmare Madan Lal Khurana's government was - Does anyone remember the KFC incident in Delhi?
:D

Karnataka ranks second in UPA’s 20-point programme
November 8th, 2010

DC
Nov. 7: Despite the many setbacks the ruling BJP had to face in the past month and the brickbats from Opposition parties, there’s finally some cheer for them.

Karnataka has been ranked second in the overall performance under the Twenty Point programme for the first quarter of the current fiscal —April to July 2010.

In the new ratings released by the ministry of statistics and programme implementation for development schemes that were first initiated in 1975 by former prime minister Indira Gandhi, the Yeddyurappa-led government has obtained 83 per cent and the maximum points of 53. Karnataka has scored 13 A, 1 B, 4 C and no D grades.

Interestingly it is the non-Congress ruled states that have performed well this time round, with Gujarat bagging the highest percentage (100 per cent) elevating it to number one position.

The BJP-JMM led government in Jharkhand has bagged third place, followed by Punjab, Orissa, Uttar Pradesh, Kerala and Madhya Pradesh — all non-Congress ruled states.

Congress governments come in at ninth and tenth places with Puducherry and Andhra Pradesh making it to the top ten list with 74 per cent and 71 per cent respectively.

The rankings were announced after the official review of the performance of the programme, which was launched in 1975 by Indira Gandhi and modified in 1982, 1986 and 2006. The review of the programme, which mainly encompasses poverty alleviation and rural development schemes, is intended to encourage states to pursue the Centre’s agenda of inclusive growth with vigour.

Each state is adjudged for its contribution to poverty alleviation, employment generation in rural areas, housing, education, family welfare, health, protection of environment under parameters including — number of scheduled caste families assisted; habitation covered for quality of water supply; houses constructed under Indira Awaz Yojana; improving the living standard of the poor and downtrodden; streamlining production, procurement and distribution of essential commodities; and implementation of agricultural land ceiling and distribution of surplus land among others. Nagaland and Congress- led Manipur have obtained the least marks with 45 per cent and 29 per cent respectively, placing them in 29th and 30th positions.

Infosys to open campus in Kolkata
PTI, Nov 23, 2010, 08.40pm IST
Infosys
KOLKATA: In a major boost to West Bengal's industrialisation drive, IT major Infosys Technologies today signed an MoU with WBHIDCO for a 50-acre plot to open a campus in Kolkata to provide job opportunities to nearly 15,000 people.

"Infosys today signed an MoU for a 50-acre plot close to Wipro site at Rajarhat for a total cost of Rs 75 crore," State Housing minister and West Bengal Housing and Infrastructure Development Corporation (WBHIDCO) Chairman Gautam Deb said here.

Comments from Infosys were not available. State's IT minister Debesh Das said as the completion of the connective road to the plot is pending the government has offered a relief to Infosys in paying instalments.

Infosys (bangalore company) first approached WB in 2004. Now when they applied it was approved within hours :lol:

West Bengal clears Infosys land deal in hours

KOLKATA: IT bellwether Infosys Technologies has decided to enter West Bengal, more specifically Kolkata. A hugely happy Marxist government almost instantly allotted 50 acres to Infosys at Rajarhat at the rate of Rs 1.5 crore per acre. All formalities are completed and work is likely to start immediately.

The first phase is expected to be operational within a year. The sheer speed of execution of the land deal left everybody at Saltlec, the state’s IT hub in the Salt Lake electronic city, dazed. Infosys had formally applied for land earlier in the morning on Tuesday.

Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee’s administration blazed into action almost immediately, holding a board meeting of Hidco — the state body which owns and allots land at Rajarhat — clearing all necessary formalities and allotting the land finally within a couple of hours.

The Infosys development is perhaps the best thing to have happened to the beleaguered Marxist government since the days of Nandigram and Singur, which had virtually buried all hopes of an industrial revival in West Bengal.
Infosys will invest Rs 1,000 crore in this project, which is tipped to be the company’s east India hub for IT and ITeS operations.

Debesh Das, IT minister, told ET: “I am very happy. With Infosys finally saying yes to us, I have fulfiled the mandate that was given to me when I had taken over charge of this department.” Indeed, the IT minister’s persistence seem to have paid off.

“Infosys CEO and MD Kris Gopalakrishnan had privately given me a thumbs up on November 10. I knew it was a make-or-break vis-a-vis land. They applied only this morning and I am glad that we have been able to hand over the land within hours,” Mr Das said.

“Mr Gopalakrishnan said that Infosys was ready to start off its expansion plans in West Bengal and therefore operations would start soon. He also said that the project will create some 15,000-20,000 jobs and the first phase will be ready within a year,” Mr Das added.

The land allotted to Infosys is adjacent to those that were allotted to Wipro and TCS at Rajarhat and at the same rate of Rs 1.5 crore. This segment of Rajarhat is just a 20 minute drive from the Netaji Subhash International airport. Construction work at Wipro and TCS is on. http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/ites/West-Bengal-clears-Infosys-land-deal-in-hours/articleshow/6978557.cms

Land scam: Yeddyuurappa acts, asks his children to leave official residence
PTI, Nov 25, 2010, 02.42pm IST
BANGALORE: Aiming at deflecting accusations of nepotism after saving his chair, Karnataka chief minister B S Yeddyurappa has asked his son and daughter to shift from his official residence here immediately.

"The chief minister asked his son B Y Vijendra and daughter Umadevi to shift from his Race Course official residence on Wednesday and they obliged him immediately," an official attached to chief minister's secretariat said.

Vijendra and Umadevi and her husband Sohan Kumar were staying with Yeddyurappa and his elder son B Y Raghavendra, MP, used to frequently visit him.


The official said Yeddyurappa had issued a strict directive to his secretaries not to be influenced by the words of his family members on any issue and bring those instances to his notice.

The directive came in the wake of BJP high command asking him to keep away his relatives from interfering in administration.

"I will keep those selfish people and my kin away from the administration. I will give good governance in the coming two years' tenure," Yeddyurappa said while participating at a function here.

The bodies of Shilpa and Anjanappa were recovered on Saturday morning.

l Student commits suicide: Umashankar, 17, a I PU student living in SLN hostel near KR Market, committed suicide by consuming poison.

That afternoon, he consumed poison and was rushed to Victoria Hospital, where he died on Saturday.

The city on Thursday witnessed two such cases -- Yogeesh Mishra, 35, hanged himself at his home in JP Nagar, while Anjali Avasti, 24, ended her life in her paying guest room in Koramangala. Both were employees of IT firms.

BJP MLAs seek apology from Hegde

BANGALORE: With chief minister B S Yeddyurappa remaining silent on Lokayukta Justice N Santosh Hegde's outburst against him, his party MLAs -- S R Vishwanath, Suresh Gowda and M Satish Reddy -- have sought an apology from Hegde.

The MLAs on Saturday charged Justice Hegde with making baseless allegations against Yeddyurappa. "The Lokayukta is making the CM a culprit before trial and verdict. Justice Hegde is acting at the behest of some individuals. He should immediately seek an apology or we will stage a dharna before his office," they said.

58. Bangalore

Nicknamed "the Silicon Valley of India," Bangalore is still no high-tech paradise for most of its residents. Providing adequate electricity, water, and housing to the city's 5.4 million inhabitants remains an immense challenge for local officials. According to the Indian Institute of Science, the city's water supply could be nearly depleted within the next five years.

^^ I don't think that's a fair assessment. Some cities do not even come under global cities even though their gdp is fairly high, there are other important factors - such as quality of life, freedom, free speech and so on.

CID to probe into corruption during HD Deve Gowda's tenure: Karnataka govt
Published: Monday, Nov 29, 2010, 19:30 IST
Place: Bangalore | Agency: PTI

Hitting back at the JD(S) for its offensive against it, the BJP government in Karnataka today decided to order a CID inquiry into alleged corruption in the implementation of Upper Krishna Project during the tenure of HD Deve Gowda as chief minister during the 1990s.

The cabinet decision comes in the midst of Opposition JDS' aggressive campaign to put the BJP government in the dock on the alleged land scams that has dominated the state political scene in recent weeks, triggering a no-holds barred attack against each other by the two parties.

Yeddyurappa, who nearly lost his position after the JD(S) levelled a series of corruption and nepotism against him, was under pressure to quit, but managed to earn a reprieve from the BJP top leadership.

Enraged at the JD(S)'s sustained campaign against him, Yeddyurappa had vowed 'not to rest' till he exposed the 'misdeeds' of Deve Gowda family, including former chief minister HD Kumaraswamy and decimated the JD(S).

Briefing reporters, higher education minister VS Acharya said there were complaints of large-scale irregularities and corruption in implementing the irrigation project from 1994-95 to 1996-97 - when Deve Gowda was in power before he became the prime minister.

There were lot of irregularities in the award of 'piece works' and there were 8-9 complaints in implementation of the project by the state-run Krishna Bhagya Jala Nigama, he said.

Asked about magnitude of irregularities and corruption in the project during the period, he said, "It's in the region of Rs85 crore to Rs90 crore."

Acharya said a legislature committee headed by then Janata Dal MLA, Vyjanath Patil committee had also conducted an inquiry into the complaints (some years ago). The Karnataka high court had issued notice to chief secretary SV Ranganath earlier this year on a petition filed by one Somashekara Reddy on the project's irregularities issue.

Vyjanath Committee had then recommended a CBI probe, but late JH Patel, who succeeded Gowda, rejected it.

Chief minister BS Yeddyurappa said last week that his government would expose alleged scams involving the former prime minister and his family in the coming days.

The JD(S) today welcomed the probe ordered by the government.

JD(S) spokesperson YSV Datta said, "At least let this inquiry bring out the truth and bring the curtains down on the baseless allegations levelled against Gowda."

Dude I guess you stay in Chennai,check out The Hindu edition dated 27th nov you will find similar ad by the BJP -karnataka unit where they put an ad defending Iron ore ban.....

It is a strategy used by BJP unit to reach out to people by publishing such ads in newspapers.It was first conceptualized in the Gujarat state by modi.

^^ its published in all major newspapers

it looks like we r tiny specks in front of these political honchos..:ohno:
why dont they introduce fast track courts to such cases?? its worth crores..by the time the case is resolved, the accused would hav constructed something in the disputed land nd he'll move to the supreme court and it goes on and on..:ohno:

Santosh Hegde must first probe all the land dealings of Deve Gowda and co,which run into crores.Next he must target SM Krishna,Dharam Singha and BSY.

Mid term elections for sure early Next year.

I wish it(mid term election) to happen as early as possible.

Depends on zp tp election results. and 11+5 disqualified mla's bye-election will happen in 6 months time, and that may change majority equation.

Isro all set to host French first couple
Prashanth G N, TNN, Nov 30, 2010, 05.25am IST
BANGALORE: The Obamas gave Silicon Plateau a miss but now the Sarkozys can fill them in on what they missed. French President Nicholas Sarkozy and wife Carla Bruni land in Bangalore this Saturday as their first port of call on their three-day visit to India.

Sarkozy is expected to fly directly into Bangalore from Paris on December 4 and stay here for a few hours, focusing largely on space. "Isro will host the French leader and his wife," Isro official sources said. A visit to HAL too is on the cards but there's no confirmation on this.

The space connection is natural, considering the long history of collaboration in this sphere between India and France.

Sources said Sarkozy will take stock of one of the biggest Indo-French collaborations — joint fabrication and launch of Megha-Tropiques climate satellite. Approximately 50% of work on this is complete, with Isro's Bangalore centre playing a crucial role. Sarkozy's visit is expected to speed up work for the 2011 launch.
The second project, SARAL (satellites for ARGOS and ALTIKA) is also expected to be ready in the first quarter of 2011. While France will launch the first, India will launch SARAL.

Sarkozy's visit to Isro is significant as France is the only permanent member of the United Nations. Isro is developing satellites for study of weather and climatic conditions and working closely with French space agency CNES.

The visit signifies a preference to work with Isro, what with the Hylas satellite being launched a few days ago from French Guiana. Earlier, Isro had developed the W2M satellite for France.

Sarkozy's HAL visit is also logical. Among the several collaborations HAL has with France, the Mirage fighter aircraft is the most crucial. The others include production of Cheetah and Chetak helicopters which were developed in collaboration with Eurocopter.

Very recently, copter trials for replacement of Cheetah and Chetak were completed.
Sarkozy is expected to go the same evening to Agra, and then on to Delhi and Mumbai. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bangalore/Isro-all-set-to-host-French-first-couple/articleshow/7012920.cms

BJP MLAs seek apology from Hegde

BANGALORE: There's nothing hide-and-seek about paying or accepting bribes in government offices, and if you are in a sub-registrar's den, be ready to part with a fat service charge. In Bangalore, this is where the biggest bribes are paid, whether to register property or get a marriage certificate. Their monthly income from bribes is easily a cool Rs 3 crore.

In fact, Bangalore has sped ahead of other cities to top the chart and leads the tally on the website (www.ipaidabribe.com) with 259 bribe reports about the revenue department alone. It scores from among 200 cities, followed by Mumbai, Chennai and Pune.

The High Court's searing condemnation on Wednesday seals its reputation, that "all land acquisition officers and sub-registrars are corrupt. Barring a few exceptions, all special DCs in Bangalore are corrupt to the core''. There are 33 sub-registrar offices across Bangalore Urban limits.

Capgemini has more staff in India than at HQ
Mini Joseph Tejaswi & Sujit John, TNN, Dec 3, 2010, 06.07am IST
BANGALORE: The employee strength of many global technology companies in India is the largest outside their home country. Capgemini, the French IT consulting, services and business process outsourcing major, however, has reversed the equation by hiring more employees in India than in its home country.

India became No. 1 for Capgemini in terms of the size of its workforce this year when it hired around 10,000 people to take its total employee strength in the country to 30,000. Till January this year, Capgemini had 20,000 employees in France, and that number remains almost unchanged today.

Capgemini has a little over 1,00,000 employees globally, which means that India constitutes almost a third of its total strength.

Early this year, Capgemini CEO Paul Hermelin had indicated that the company would be hiring aggressively in India. He had said that Capgemini was changing its hiring pattern towards having more freshers, a strategy that Indian IT companies had perfected with great benefits to margins. Hermelin had noted that the European IT services market had profit margins of 5-10 %, compared to over 20% of its peers in India. The company had grown its offshore ratio from 28% to 32% in 2009, and Hermelin was looking at raising it to 36% by end of 2010.

Capgemini was relatively dormant for the first five years of their presence in India , but that changed dramatically in 2006. From 10,000 employees in 2006, the company doubled its strength to 20,000 by the end of last year, and increased that figure by 50% this year. The rapid increase was partly on account of acquisitions, including those of Unilever India Shared Services and Kanbay International in 2006. Kanbay had a big India presence.

Capgemini is expected to report another talent-milestone from India in the BPO space in the next 18 months when more than half of its BPO employees will be here. Its global BPO strength is expected to be 12,000 in the next one year, of which around 6,000 will be in India. Currently , Capgemini India has 4,300 people in BPO and the number is expected to go up by 1,700 in a year.

Hubert Giraud, CEO of Capgemini BPO, who was in Bangalore on Thursday to announce the acquisition of more office space, said, "India is no more a back-office destination , it is an end-to-end solutions provider. These BPO, KPO, LPO kind of bifurcations are going away as the industry is maturing," he said

Capgemini BPO India currently supports nine of the 40 Fortune 500 clients of the French company. It has centres in Gurgaon, Mumbai, Bangalore , Chennai and Salem.

Salem is close to bangalore as much as mysore. Mysore/Trivendrum are IT leaders in tier 2 cities:


all kerala (http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/business/software-exports-from-kerala-grows-43-percent_100172177.html)2008-09 exports 2430 crore (cochi + trivendrum)
managalore+mysore (http://www.hindu.com/2009/09/02/stories/2009090254840600.htm) for same year 2000 crore
TN tier 2 cities (http://www.thehindu.com/news/states/tamil-nadu/article876859.ece) for 2009-10 is 908 crore

Mysore alone 1300 crore in IT exports..

so if u consider only one single tier 2 city, it is most likely mysore is india leader or possibly trivendrum. kerala made mistake by dividing infopark and technopark between two cities instead of promoting one single city..

add Bhubaneswar stood at Rs 1,023 crore, down 11.96 per cent and those from Gandhinagar at Rs 1,150 crore,, a decline of 9.31 per cent. for 2009-10, trailing behind mysore.. http://smartinvestor.in/market/story-37926-storydet-Kolkata_IT_growth_in_positive_trajectory.htm kolkata at 5,400 crore is almost a tier 2 city

Bangalore gets its own French Consulate (http://www.mybangalore.com/article/1210/bangalore-gets-its-own-french-consulate.html)

Bangalore will finally get its own French Consulate. French Minister for Research Valerie Pecresse will open the new French Consulate at Palace Road in Vasanth Nagar on Saturday.

France is set to open a new consulate in Bangalore and re-open its consulate in Kolkata during the four-day visit of French President Nicolas Sarkozy to India that begins on Saturday. Valerie Pecresse, the French minister for higher education and research, will inaugurate the Bangalore consulate on Saturday. The Bangalore consulate will cater to the southern region. Pecresse, who will be among seven ministers accompanying Nicholas Sarkozy to India, will fly to Kolkata Sunday to re-open the consulate there.

France has its embassy in New Delhi and consulates in Mumbai and Pondicherry. France has upgraded its diplomatic offices and infrastructure in India in view of the burgeoning economic and strategic ties between the two countries. France has become India's fifth trading partner in Europe. Bilateral trade between India and France was estimated to be 5.36 billion euros last year. The two countries have set a target of achieving 12 billion euros bilateral trade by 2012. Accompanied by his wife Carla Bruni and seven senior ministers, Sarkozy will begin a four-day working visit to India from IT city Bangalore Saturday.

Though the French President will start his visit with a few hours stay in Bangalore on Saturday, he will not attend the opening of the Consulate General. He will instead leave for Agra after a visit to the Indian Space Research Organisation. Though the French Consulate General in Bangalore was set up in October 2008, it has not been issuing visas and has been functioning from Alliance Française at Miller’s Tank Bund Road. The French Consulate General in Mumbai has been issuing visas to people from Karnataka, who want to visit France.

The French Consulate General in Bangalore is being provided with necessary infrastructure to issue visas and will start doing so to people of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh after moving to the new building. Sarkozy will also see the Indo-French Megha-Tropiques Satellite, which is being jointly developed by ISRO and Centre National d’Études Spatiales of France for atmospheric research. The data collected by the satellite will help study the water cycle contribution to the climate dynamic in the tropical atmosphere and the processes linked to the tropical convection.

Safety work begins at Carlton Towers (http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Default/Scripting/ArticleWin.asp?From=Archive&Source=Page&Skin=TOINEW&BaseHref=TOIBG/2010/12/04&PageLabel=5&EntityId=Ar00501&ViewMode=HTML&GZ=T)

Bangalore: Spending lonely hours with his two little daughters has become a nightmare for Shantha Kumar, who lost his wife Benzie in the Carlton Towers tragedy on February 23, 2010. The scene of Benzie falling through a broken glass window to her death, is still fresh in their minds. Neither have Bangaloreans forgotten that traumatic day.
But in the city, there are many buildings like Carlton Towers which have ignored fire safety measures. Though Carlton Towers still wears a haunting, deserted look, there is activity inside. Fire safety work is going on, thanks to a public interest litigation filed by the ‘Beyond Carlton’ group formed by relatives of the tragedy victims.
When The Times of India visited the building on Friday, it found that the Carlton Towers Owners’ Association has taken up renovation of the entire building.
TOO MANY GENERATORS LED TO CHAOS
“The association has taken up fire safety measures, electrical wiring and lift work. We are spending about Rs 3 crore on renovation. Earlier, many of the 100 companies set up here had their own generators. Having too many generators were one of the factors that led to the tragedy,” an office-bearer of the Association said. Now there is only one large generator, which will be connected to all the 168 units in the seven-storey building.
Besides, over 200 sprinklers have been installed in the basement as a fire safety measure. Each unit is being equipped with smoke detectors, which are mandatory as per the Chief Electrical Inspector to the Government’s (CEIG) standards. “However, once the building is open to the public, we will make sure that civic agencies inspect the space. If unsatisfied, another PIL will be filed against the same. Every highrise should come under the scanner,” said Shantha Kumar.

Scams and legal issues haunting party in the State

Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley has been given the extraordinary charge of cleaning up the BJP mess in Karnataka. The announcement was made on behalf of BJP president Nitin Gadkari here on Saturday. Shanta Kumar, who was in charge of the party's political affairs in the State, has been moved as prabhari of Punjab.

Although, on the face of it, Dharmendra Pradhan has been given the designation of person in-charge of Karnataka affairs, this is perhaps the first time a senior leader has been appointed a virtual super prabhari. A statement said: “Mr. Jaitley has been asked to devote special attention to the party's Karnataka affairs.”

Court notice

Party sources indicated that a senior leader was needed to look after political affairs in the State, where a number of important issues have come up and more are likely to surface. The Supreme Court on November 30 served notices on Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa and Speaker K.G. Bopaiah, on a special leave petition filed by seven BJP MLAs, who are seeking reversal of the Karnataka High Court order which upheld their disqualification ahead of a crucial confidence vote two months ago. They have been given time till December 7 to respond and a hearing has been fixed for December 9.

The party expects Mr. Jaitley to pay attention to this problem — the government's survival could depend on the outcome in the court as the Yeddyurappa government has only a wafer-thin majority. Also, the State is racked by a plethora of corruption scandals involving the Chief Minister as well as several colleagues. After all, Mr. Yeddyurappa was able to save his job only by promising the BJP leadership a clean-up.

Party sources indicated that Mr. Jaitley has the authority — as well as legal acumen — to ensure that steps are taken for the government to keep its head above water. This is an urgent issue as Lokayukta Santosh Hegde has come down heavily on the government for not taking action against illegal mining — in which the Reddy brothers of Bellary are allegedly involved — and scams arising from allotment of plots of land to the Chief Minister's relatives as well as to those close to some other Ministers.

French minister inaugurates new premises of consulate

Bangalore, Dec 4 (PTI) The new premises of the Consulate General of France was today inaugurated by the French Minister for Higher Education and Research, Valerie Pecresse.
Describing the event as a new milestone in the Indo-French relations, the minister said the inauguration of the facility was in keeping with the President of Republic''s commitment three years ago, to open two new consulates to strengthen the French presence in India.
The two-storey building spread over 10,500 square feet would offer a host of services including issuing of visas.
People from Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh could now have their visas issued from new consulate premises instead of travelling to Mumbai.
The consulate will house ''Ubifrance'' whose mission will be to facilitate relations between Indian businessmen and French entrepreneurs. Likewise, France has also made a particular effort in accompanying Indian scientists who work in France by setting up an attache for science and technology within the consulate that supports them in all administrative procedures.
"The idea is to simplify the procedures to enable Indian scientists to come and work in France," she said.
France was was keen in tripling the number of Indian students studying in the French school and universities from 1700 to 4500 by 2012. "In order to do that, we are going to encourage partnerships between French and Indian establishments by relying particularly on the mutual recognition of degrees and creating double degrees".
The French government had also sought to be flexible by issuing residency cards to enable Indian students to take up jobs after completion of studies.
Speaking about Indo-French collaboration on the satellite projects, Megha Tropiques and SARAL, she said "These are projects that will make significant contribution to the research community of the two countries in promoting climatic, meteorological and oceanographic phenomenon in tropics".
Highlighting the role of Bangalore, she said that Bangalore has been a city devoted to science and technology and it is here that India's future is being built for a large part and along with it a part of the Asian and global growth.
"It is therefore at Bangalore that our industrialists, our innovative entrepreneurs and especially our students, our engineers, our researchers will always come in great number to further boost the economic and scientific relations".
"It is therefore essential that our country enhances its institutional presence not only at the disposal of our compatriots..but also at the disposal of the Indians to facilitate their endeavours and accompany them in most useful and efficient way possible," she said.

Taking serious objection to alleged construction on a stormwater drain, BBMP's major works standing committee on Saturday gave orders to dismantle the compound wall of Brigade Gateway on Dr Rajkumar Road. However, Brigade Gateway officials maintained it wasn't a demolition and that they co-operated in dismantling the wall.

BBMP earthmovers razed down a 15-feet wall. The demolition started at 10am and continued through the day, resulting in traffic jams on the stretch.

The 40-acre township will have a 36-storeyed building spread over six lakh sq ft. It will house the World Trade Centre office and is supposed to be the tallest in the city.

BBMP alleges that the builder has violated norms by blocking the natural path of a stormwater drain flowing from Malleswaram railway parallel road towards Vrushabhavathi Valley, through the 40-acre plot.

After the demolition, the Palike plans to conduct a survey to trace the actual path of the drain. "Possibly, buildings inside the complex are being constructed on the drain," said H Ravindra, chairman, major works standing committee.

He pointed out that the drain was missing for 700-odd metres where the township is coming up. "A survey report will be placed before the council for further action. A report will also be submitted to the mayor and the commissioner," he added. Ravindra admitted that it was BBMP's mistake to approve such a huge township within city limits. He said this would lead to plying of over 11,000 four-wheelers here, causing traffic havoc in future. "Besides, the builder has diverted a portion of the drain leading to flooding of Subramanya Nagar and surrounding areas," the committee members said.

'BASELESS ALLEGATIONS'

Denying the BBMP allegations, M R Jaishankar, chief managing director, Brigade Group, said, "There was no storm water drain at all. The allegations are baseless. On Saturday, BBMP conducted an inspection as it wanted to see what was underneath the wall. We cooperated with them. We are constructing as per the approved plan."

10 suicides in the past four days
TNN, Dec 5, 2010, 04.41am IST

BANGALORE: There has been a spurt in the suicide incidents in the city. At least 10 people have ended their lives this month.

On Friday afternoon, 14-year-old Chaithra, a class 8 student, committed suicide by hanging in her house at Ashwanthnagar in Bangalore North. Chaithra is daughter of Venkatesh, an autorick-
shaw driver.

In the morning, before going to work, Venkatesh checked Chaitra's books and found that she had not completed her home work. He admonished her for not taking her studies seriously. Venkatesh's wife, an employee of a private firm, had by then left for office.

After Venkatesh too left for work, Chaithra ended her life.

NO DISTRESS LINES

City police have no provision for taking care of such distress situations. Neither they have a toll free number dedicated to such cases nor counselling centres. Additional Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) T Sunil Kumar said that there were helplines for women, children and elderly people.

"Most of the time, suicides are investigated at the police station level. Criminal cases are filed only in the case of dowry harassment and if suicide is prompted by others," he added.
