[Ashwin Mahesh @ashwinmahesh]

When people start tracking things themselves, a more accurate picture of governance emerges. And these days, with tech and groups and AI, a lot is possible. This summary of 'to-do' things in South Corporation shows that meetings with communities are happening, but subsequent action has been slow. I understand that there will be a lag between issues being reported and being fixed, but over time, the percentages need to hit 80%. @comm_blr_south @NITINKML @raizerius

BSWML has managed to complicate not just Solid Waste Management, but now even the GBA/BBMP property tax portal. #EaseOfLiving

A simple property tax payment is turning into a confusing exercise due to poorly designed SWM user fee questions and unclear data requirements.

There is no per-house waste weighment system, so all entries are merely estimates. And the framework imposes discriminatory charges on apartment communities that already segregate and compost their waste.

Fix the SWM framework first—don’t make compliance harder for citizens.

We seek urgent intervention from the Chief Commissioner, GBA.

@Sowmyareddyr You are a vocal activist on good SWM practices - yet your followers deface the city with such hideous cutouts. Hope you will influence some action on this. And happy birthday - wishing you the best.

@ashwinmahesh Considering that mobile numbers are being sought by all and sundry now (many a times without any thought on its need), what is the most downside risk? It feels like every business and govt has everyone’s mobile numbers anyway someway or other.

@ashwinmahesh KERC, which is the regulator for ESCOMs should also receive a red card. Every year the public consultation on tariff revision is an exercise in ESCOMs presenting their poor balance sheets and KERC blindly approving tariff hike (fixed or slabs) as a panacea-no focus on efficiency

Oh my God! This is phenomenally effective communication! Fantastic narrative device with the right amount of exaggeration that lands the message with a bang, while also sending chills down the spine of the target audience (parents of young children)! Excellent work by the Irish agency Core Creative.

Since there is a lot of current debate on #strays that is polarising various groups, here’s a tidbit on this topic from my recent podcast on The Thing With This One Is with Ram Deshpande- it’s always live and let live, with responsibility towards others.

@volklub Sunderdeep sir - Can you help understand the value of availing the extended warranty plan? What typically gets covered under warranty and more specifically what coverage makes sense for a 7 to 10 year duration?

Are civic activists and volunteers burnt out? Is civic activism dying in Bengaluru?

Me and @srinualavilli had an opportunity to pose this question to a group of participants during the India Civic Summit hosted by @citizenmatters . Read on to find the answer.

@BAFBLR

[Citizen Matters @citizenmatters]

Bengaluru’s civic volunteers exhausted but not out.

The masterclass 'is there burnout in civic activism?' highlighted the importance of youth engagement and modern communication skills.

Push push push every day every citizen, every RWA, every government official, every bureaucrat, every politician to work for better governance - but every once in while an election to assert collective and transformative power comes and that’s when #everyvotematters @BAFBLR

ಸಾಮಾಜಿಕ ಮಾಧ್ಯಮದ ಮೂಲಕ ನಡೆಯುವ ಮಾಸಿಕ ವರ್ಚುವಲ್ ಸಭೆಯು ಈ ತಿಂಗಳ ಮೂರನೇ ಶನಿವಾರ ಅಂದರೆ 21 ಅಕ್ಟೋಬರ್ 2023 ರಂದು ನಡೆಯಲಿದ್ದು, ಇದರ ಭಾಗವಾಗಿ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸರು ಅಪಾರ್ಟ್ಮೆಂಟ್ ನಿವಾಸಿಗಳೊಂದಿಗೆ ಸಂವಾದ ನಡೆಸಲಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

ಈ ಸಭೆಯು ಅಪಾರ್ಟ್‌ಮೆಂಟ್ ನಿವಾಸಿಗಳಿಗೆ ತಮ್ಮ ನಗರ ಜೀವನದ ಸುರಕ್ಷತೆಯ ಕುರಿತು ಇರುವ ಕಳವಳ ಮತ್ತು ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಗಳನ್ನು ವ್ಯಕ್ತಪಡಿಸಲು ಹಾಗೂ ನಮ್ಮ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನ ಸುರಕ್ಷತೆ ಮತ್ತು ಯೋಗಕ್ಷೇಮವನ್ನು ಹೆಚ್ಚಿಸುವ ಕುರಿತು ಅಮೂಲ್ಯವಾದ ಸಲಹೆಗಳನ್ನು ನೀಡಲು ಉತ್ತಮ ವೇದಿಕೆಯಾಗಿದೆ.

ಈ ವರ್ಚುವಲ್ ಸಮ್ಮೇಳನವು ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಅಪಾರ್ಟ್‌ಮೆಂಟ್ ಫೆಡರೇಶನ್ ಹಾಗೂ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತರ ಉಪಸ್ಥಿತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಜರುಗಲಿದ್ದು, ಹಲವಾರು ಹಿರಿಯ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಗಳೂ ಸಹ ಇದರಲ್ಲಿ ಭಾಗವಹಿಸಲಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

ನಮ್ಮ ನಗರದ ಸಕಲರನ್ನು ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಆಯಾಮಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ತಲುಪುವುದು ಹಾಗೂ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಸುರಕ್ಷಿತ ಸಮುದಾಯ ವಲಯವನ್ನು ನಿರ್ಮಾಣ ಮಾಡುವಲ್ಲಿ, ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕರನ್ನು ಸಕ್ರಿಯ ಪಾಲುದಾರರನ್ನಾಗಿ ಮಾಡುವುದು ಈ ಸಭೆಯ ಮುಖ್ಯ ಗುರಿಯಾಗಿದೆ
