This thread 🧵is regarding the irregularities in acquiring fertile agricultural land in Sarjapura for the proposed SWIFT City
1. To begin with, the document presented to the cabinet in the meeting held on 20/02/20224 specifies that the notified areas are dry lands and kushki lands (farmland fed by only rainwater) and no development activities as the reasons for the acquisition. However, many farmers in these lands grow mulberry (sericulture), vegetables, and commercial crops, and they have polyhouses with huge investments. Also, most of the lands are irrigated for the entire year, with many farmers having 1-3 borewells for irrigation. See the videos captured with a drone.

Just asking out of curiosity.
Can we consider the objective of good framing practice as to minimize/eliminate harmful chemicals and not fully eliminate the use of chemicals? In a way this will help us in making farming economically viable while ensuring it's safe to eat.
I do understand that you didn't want to use any external ripening agents but why not controlled ethylene gas chambers for ripening the bananas? Searched online regarding this, it says ethylene is also a natural plant hormone that bananas and other fruits produce on their own.
Why do government want to get into the business of developing townships by acquiring land?
If they think that town development is required future population why don't they come up with master plan that includes grid like road plan, zoning etc for the city and leave it to the public and private players for the development.
Gov should have proper checks and balances while giving approvals to the private players so that they don't deviate from the master plan
I really don't understand why every department of current government is on land acquisition spree across Karnataka
Is it really required for PM travel from Delhi to flag off a 7.5km metro line.
When did the PM prioritise Bengaluru's infra?
1. Suburban railways lines are still at initial stage with same PM from past 12 years. To an extent state is also responsible for it
2. Half stretch of STRR around Bengaluru is incomplete. I think it's not even tendered
3. Bengaluru metro Phase 3A is still awaiting approval from the central gov
4. No one knows the status of Bengaluru - Pune greenfield expressway
5. The Chandapura - Attibele stretch of NH-44 is facing extreme traffic as NHAI is carrying the work at snails pace. And some parts of that roads not in a drivable condition
Tell me how you are convinced or want to convince people that PM is CONSISTENTLY prioritising the Bengaluru infra
@TheRubric_Medic This with semi high speed rail connecting Gulbarga from Hubballi or Davanagere would connect lot of North Karnataka districts. Helps in developing them as tier 2 cities with development distributed across Karnataka
#ThinkBeyondBengaluru
@IndexKarnataka Any idea by when we can expect the service road at this place? Also I think they need to even construct the drainage along the NH-44 at this stretch
@GunjurCharan@ArvindLBJP@MALimbavali Is current work being carried out after facing lot of backlash from people and getting media attention - Yes
Then honestly why should the credit be given to them
@GunjurCharan@ArvindLBJP@MALimbavali Was previous MLA visionary to predict future issues and provide solution to it - No
Did Ex MLA or current MLA fix all issues related to potholes or road expansion when people expressed the need for it - No
@prajdabre Is it better than opus 4.6 not just for writing code but also technical reasoning + writing code?
Personally opus 4.6 works better than opus 5.5 for my tasks
@aravind What could be the reasons that you think this will happen?
Is it related to geopolitical conditions in the next decade or combination of geo politics, boom in Indian economic growth, exports or any other reasons that you might think
@naveenmzs@BalagereConnect@RisingVarthur@NammaVarthuru@krishnabgowda Please provide a solution to the mess created due to pending flyover work at Dommasandra circle.
I don't think the flyover will be completed in this decade. Atleast fix the roads, install traffic signal and make the travelling smooth
@kiranshaw@b_shivanna177@DeccanHerald Saying that majority of the roads are in good condition that too after a person has lost her life few days back in his constituency shows how distant the MLA is from the public and addressing their grievances
@kiranshaw@b_shivanna177 The MLA is misleading the public and also the @DeccanHerald reporter
There are multiple roads in Anekal that are in pathetic condition. I think @DeccanHerald needs one more article just to cover the details of all these roads
@Pruthvinreddy@MLAShivanna@kiranshaw Anekal people should list and even include the videos of all the roads that are in worst condition
The list will be endless but anyways the MLA had shared in social media that he will finally fix them after ruling the constituency for 12 years!! @b_shivanna177
@Pruthvinreddy@MBPatil avre, any comments on daylight robbery by KIADB officers. With these kind of peak exploitation by officers you want farmers to give up their fertile lands?
Do you really need 3 years to bring transparency into the KIADB land acquisition process?
@RMantri I think AI will have significant effect on all 4 pillars of democracy in India since the threshold related to performance in all these is set so low that people don't have time to highlight all the issues
AI will help individuals to try fixing even minor problems bothering them
@Kuma50531Kumar@DKShivakumar@GBA_office@lkatheeq True
@krishnabgowda
Atleast there should be a proper channel to highlight issues to the MLA.
Nobody knows the twitter handle to even tag him and if the ID @MLAShivanna is the one then
suddenly all its previous tweets are deleted and there are zero tweets by the MLA
