I'm surprised to see that Kengeri railway station doesn't have lift/escalator which is very crucial for PWDs and elders. I hereby request @PiyushGoyal sir to spend some time on this issue and get it resolved🙏
@NammaRailways@SWRRLY@GMSWR plz help to get safest commute for all.
Bengaluru’s newest Rs 500-crore road has started falling apart even BEFORE inauguration. Not after traffic. This is BDA's Major Aertial Road.
Sink hole, damaged stretches & emergency patchwork days before launch. Taxpayers pay. Contractors profit. Nobody is held accountable.
I am 100% sure that you have to suspend majority of the officers and contractors.. but happy to see this action sir. People will watch your next actions.. Let's see if road quality improves or not..
I really hope I don’t have to do this frequently. But, if officers and contractors do not listen and do their job, unfortunately, I will be forced. I appeal to them to do their job properly.
Today, I happened to observe an asphalt work in progress. I was doubtful of the quality. I asked the Commissioner to inspect this asphalt work. Indeed, the work was found to be substandard. Sadly, officer is suspended and contractor penalised.
ನಾನು ಆಗಾಗ್ಗೆ ಹೀಗೆ ಮಾಡಬೇಕಾಗಿಲ್ಲ ಎಂದು ನಾನು ನಿಜವಾಗಿಯೂ ಭಾವಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ. ಆದರೆ, ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಗುತ್ತಿಗೆದಾರರು ತಮ್ಮ ಕೆಲಸವನ್ನು ಸರಿಯಾಗಿ ನಿರ್ವಹಿಸದಿದ್ದಾಗ ಮಾತ್ರ ನಾನು ಇಂತಹ ಕಠಿಣ ಕ್ರಮಗಳನ್ನು ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಅವರು ತಮ್ಮ ಕೆಲಸವನ್ನು ಸರಿಯಾಗಿ ಮಾಡುವಂತೆ ನಾನು ಮನವಿ ಮಾಡುತ್ತೇನೆ.
ಇಂದು, ನಾನು ಡಾಂಬರೀಕರಣದ ಕೆಲಸವನ್ನು ಗಮನಿಸಿದೆ. ಗುಣಮಟ್ಟದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ನನಗೆ ಸಂದೇಹವಿತ್ತು. ಈ ಡಾಂಬರು ಕೆಲಸವನ್ನು ಪರಿಶೀಲಿಸಲು ನಾನು ಆಯುಕ್ತರನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿದೆ. ವಾಸ್ತವವಾಗಿ, ಕೆಲಸವು ಕಳಪೆ ಗುಣಮಟ್ಟದ್ದಾಗಿರುವುದು ಕಂಡುಬಂದಿದೆ. ಪರಿಣಾಮ ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಯನ್ನು ಅಮಾನತುಗೊಳಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ ಮತ್ತು ಗುತ್ತಿಗೆದಾರರಿಗೆ ದಂಡ ವಿಧಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ.

Cleaning staff were caught throwing garbage on railway tracks from a running train.
When asked why, the reply was: “We don’t have plastic bags to collect waste.”
Swachh Bharat cannot run on slogans while garbage is dumped from trains.
Quite often, we hear about the Yamuna River being so polluted that it is dead! Essentially, what this means is that the dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in its water has fallen so low that it cannot support life within it, let alone posing severe health risks for the civilisations that have been residing on its banks for centuries.
Rivers used to be the backbone of civilisations. Today, this has slightly changed in India. The upstreams of rivers still provide freshwater for Indian cities to thrive. But the downstreams of these same rivers have become dumping grounds for the very cities that prosper because of them.
Like most of Urban India, this is prevalent in Bangalore too. The Vrishabhavathi River starts near the Peenya Industrial Area and Sankey Tank and flows through the southwestern valley of Bengaluru, joining the Arkavathi River further south. The Vrishabhavathi River is not very far from becoming like the Yamuna. And hence, it is now more important than ever that we talk about this river. Talk against the injustice happening to this river and the livelihoods that have been relying on it for centuries.
I am grateful to receive support from the CFL to conduct a research project on the Vrishabhavathi. This project intends to highlight:
1) The hydrological phenomenon of a river, by drawing parallels between the Cauvery and the Vrishabhavathi.
2) Why does one river look so different from the other one, although they are the same hydrological phenomenon?
3) What are the consequences of a polluted river?
4) What does the Constitution say about this reality?
This is a call to all of civil society, water practitioners, and Bangaloreians to join me in this journey. Or even help me connect with resources and resourceful people who have studied this river. Please feel free to message me directly.

Old Airport Road is already choking under underpass construction. Today, traffic was completely halted for nearly 30 minutes due to the Governor’s movement. A man carrying his pregnant wife was stuck in the gridlock. When will public convenience matter as much as VIP convenience?
Only in Mumbai Metro will you find three separate lids for waste segregation, but just one bin at the bottom.
DRY, WET, PLASTIC above. Everything mixed below.
This is not waste management. This is optical management. 🤡🤦♂️

Most of India's drone motors come from China.
In 2019, the founders of Vector Technics, @prudhvirajp + Karna Raj, set out to change that in a 400 sq. ft. Hyderabad office.
Today, @vectortechnics is India's largest indigenous drone motor manufacturer, producing 5k motors/month.
A man was caught on camera casually tossing chowmein plates and heaps of garbage out of his car onto the road. But when confronted, instead of feeling ashamed or cleaning it up, he arrogantly replied : “Tere baap ka road hai kya?” 🤡
People are fed up with this kind of attitude, public nuisance, and complete lack of civic sense on Indian roads. Some idiots treat public spaces like their personal dustbins and then act offended when someone calls them out.
Chinapanahalli Main Road. Platforms have been made without leaving water space for the trees. Development must be balanced with conservation. Needs immediate attention.
Shimla Police Personnel kicked a driver for recording a video. The officer has just been suspended and will soon be back on the job.
If a citizen had kicked a police officer, there would have been immediate arrests and FIRs filed. Why this double standard?
Approx 35% of my bonus is taken away by the govt. They just did not take 35% of the money, they took my motivation, they took my curiosity to learn, they took my hunger to earn, they took my soul away.
It will take me 7 years to get the same amount if I invest with 8% interest
Finally, this country is waking up! 🔥
Fed up with VVIP convoys & endless road blocks, Hyderabad commuters hit back unleashing a massive chorus of horns at Revanth Reddy’s convoy.
Let's make this trend 🔥
