Madiwala Bangalore Footpath occupied - Are the BDA, Govt authorities sleeping ?

The following pictures are taken near the Madiwala Police Station. The Footpath is occupied by the Musim Masjid near Wipro M3 and M4. During the peak hours most of the accident happens in this place. There is no foot path at all in this place to walk.....where public will walk ?? Foot path is occupied by the religious and the some tea shop fellows.

Are the government authorities sleeping  ? If people want to worship God, God is everywhere. They can do all their prayers from their home or in some private place wherever they want. No God says to block the public way and build a temple or masjid for him. Helping the people is equal to praying the God 100000000000000000000000.......n times. 

And moreover Did the Footpath was constructed first or Masjid was constructed first ? where were these people when they construct the Road. 

Some Public enemy's have blocked the public road and constructed the masjid, will they allow public to walk inside the their masjid ???? 

Will the BDA/Police/Government Authorities take action on these people and bring the footpath back for public use ?  God Knows. - Bangalorean.

Who is Anna Hazare?

1. Who is Anna Hazare?

An ex-army man. Fought 1965 Indo-Pak War

2. What's so special about him?

He built a village Ralegaon Siddhi in Ahamad Nagar district, Maharashtra

3. So what?
This village is a self-sustained model village. Energy is produced in
the village itself from solar power, biofuel and wind mills.

In 1975, it used to be a poverty clad village. Now it is one of the
richest village in India. It has become a model for self-sustained,
eco-friendly & harmonic village.

4. Ok,...?

This guy, Anna Hazare was awarded Padma Bhushan and is a known figure
for his social activities.

5. Really, what is he fighting for?

He is supporting a cause, the amendment of a law to curb corruption in India.

6. How that can be possible?

He is advocating for a Bil, The Lok Pal Bill (The Citizen Ombudsman
Bill), that will form an autonomous authority who will make
politicians (ministers), beurocrats (IAS/IPS) accountable for their
deeds.

8. It's an entirely new thing right..?

In 1972, the bill was proposed by then Law minister Mr. Shanti
Bhushan. Since then it has been neglected by the politicians and some
are trying to change the bill to suit thier theft (corruption).

7. Oh.. He is going on a hunger strike for that whole thing of passing
a Bill ! How can that be possible in such a short span of time?

The first thing he is asking for is: the government should come
forward and announce that the bill is going to be passed.

Next, they make a joint committee to DRAFT the LOK PAL BILL. 50%
goverment participation and 50% public participation. Because you cant
trust the government entirely for making such a bill which does not
suit them.

8. Fine, What will happen when this bill is passed?

A LokPal will be appointed at the centre. He will have an autonomous
charge, say like the Election Commission of India. In each and every
state, Lokayukta will be appointed. The job is to bring all alleged
party to trial in case of corruptions within 1 year. Within 2 years,
the guilty will be punished. Not like, Bofors scam or Bhopal Gas
Tragedy case, that has been going for last 25 years without any
result.

9. Is he alone? Whoelse is there in the fight with Anna Hazare?

Baba Ramdev, Ex. IPS Kiran Bedi, Social Activist Swami Agnivesh, RTI
activist Arvind Kejriwal and many more.

Prominent personalities like Aamir Khan is supporting his cause.

10. Ok, got it. What can I do?

At least we can spread the message. How?

Putting status message, links, video, changing profile pics.

At least we can support Anna Hazare and the cause for uprooting
corruption from India.

At least we can hope that his Hunger Strike does not go in vain.

At least we can pray for his good health.



I am sending this out to all my contacts. My humble request to all is
to do the same and spread the word.

Corruption in Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC)

Everyone knows that in Bangalore transportation cost is very high when compared to the neighbour states like Tamilnadu, Kerala. I strongly believe it could be because of the Bangalorians only. Most of the people who travel by Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) bus are not buying tickets. Even if they decided to buy the ticket, they pay only partial amount to Conductors. BMTC Bus Conductors also accepts that partial amount and are not giving any tickets i.e., say Rs.2 against the Ticket cost RS.5. People think that they are getting benefit of Rs.3 from this. But really they are loosing their cost indirectly. This is one of the main reasons to increase the Ticket cost in Bangalore.

As of my knowledge BMTC conductors and Drivers earn more than Rs.25, 000 per month and they own at least one good apartment in Bangalore, especially in hot of the City.

None of the Bangalorians bother about this. Somebody should involve in this matter and take action on this.

My suggestion to control this corruption is, BMTC should form a separate team for this anti corruption operation. Let’s say BMTC anti-corruption Squad. (BACS). Allocate specific person to a particular route and ask them to check the passengers Tickets regularly. It’s similar to Ticket Checker. I believe BMTC has some people for this job. But I am not sure how active they are. If passenger didn’t buy a ticket fine them, If Conductors didn’t provide the ticket suspend them for a month. We should spread this message through news paper and make people aware of this anti corruption in BMTC buses.

If we implement this project we can control at least 50% of corruption in BMTC busses. Then there will be no chance for increasing the ticket cost very often. As a Bangalorian we should involve in this anti- corruption.
