@ICCCBengaluru @GBAChiefComm @GBA_office @DKShivakumar @comm_blr_south @osd_cmkarnataka This garbage was cleared a week ago and the situation is back to the same again today.

[Reshma Ravishanker @reshmatweetsat]

And here's another reason for traffic snarls in Bengaluru. Half the road is covered in garbage leaving hardly any space for motorists. Why cant we act against people dumping garbage here?? @GBAChiefComm @GBA_office @DKShivakumar

Rains #bengalururains and hail storm storm bring a tree near Chikkalsandra @GBA_office

[Reshma Ravishanker @reshmatweetsat]

@ICCCBengaluru This is near Arehalli main road. The road adjacent to Polar bear ice creams on the opposite side

[Reshma Ravishanker @reshmatweetsat]

Every single day, garbage is being burnt in many vacant sites around Chikkalsandra, Arehalli and Padmanabhanagar areas. While wet waste is cleared off, mounds of other waste is burnt leading to heavy pollution

The MLA’s statement is wrong. And frankly, not surprising.

First, it exposes their priorities. At a time when real issues of the state demand attention, raising something like this in the Assembly is itself telling.
And if the Speaker chooses to act on it, it diminishes the dignity of the Vidhan Soudha itself.

Now, let’s ask the basic question.

Why should the KSCA, or any sports body, give free tickets to MLAs?

Why should they “owe” them anything?

This is plain entitlement. Feudal thinking.

An MLA demanding free tickets, a separate gallery, and refusing to sit with the public reveals their belief that they are somehow above the very people they represent.

That is the problem.

If citizens have to buy tickets, so should MLAs. Simple.

Unless we call this out clearly, we will keep normalising a culture of entitlement. And that is the opposite of what a modern, equal, democratic society should stand for.

This is wrong. It must be opposed.

A Bengaluru based start up founded by the alumni of Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology is developing what could become India's first amphibious drones, capable of operating both in the air and underwater.

Despite High court ban on banners like these after the death of a girl trying to cross the road, many are seen flouting norms. One such at a very risky U turn near Ittamadu junction on ORR on Monday

It's Jamia again!

Meet Dr. Riyazuddin. He is an Associate Professor at Jamia Millia Islamia, Polytechnic. Wondering what he does?
Teaching! And this is how he teaches.

On January 16, he attacked a tribal man named Ram Phool Meena, calling him "Meena Kamina, Kaffir". When the victim complained, he said: "Tum saale Adivasi jangli ho, Musalmanon ke idare mein rehkar mere khilaaf shikayat karne ki jurrat kaise ki?"

Not only this, he thrashed him, breaking his mouth.

With repeated targeting of Hindus on campus, this case is not new.

I have previously reported a Dalit man being harassed, a divyang person being asked to convert with the remark "Hijab pehenne se Noor aata hai", and now this tribal man. And merely for reporting this, me and my organisation is facing cases.

The OSD claims everything is fine and that a "zero tolerance policy" will be implemented against discrimination and forced conversion, but back-to-back incidents suggest something entirely different.

The only question that remains: How fair is it to fund an institution with government money when it claims to be a minority institution, calls itself "Musalmanon ka idara", and apparently has no place for Hindus?

I had an overseas business visitor to Biocon Park who said ‘ Why are the roads so bad and why is there so much garbage around? Doesn’t the Govt want to support investment? I have just come from China and cant understand why India can’t get its act together especially when the winds are favourable?’ @siddaramaiah @DKShivakumar @PriyankKharge
