Bangalore Watch: Pedestrian Path Vs Vehicle Path 

Bangalore Authorities have taken few of the streets of city in TenderSURE scheme and beautified them. St. Marks road is already developed in this scheme. Next 44 roads get facelift under this scheme. Modi Hospital road, KempeGowda road are the two streets listed in this scheme. But roads which are not in tender-sure scheme like LalBagh road footpaths are in very bad shape. A sharp contrast exists between maintenance within park and footpath outside this renowned botanical garden. Naturally majority population of 'Namma-Bengaluru' commute today on vehicles and our B.B.M.P authorities are also least bothered about pedestrian-paths called FOOT-PATHS. In future we will fight for inches and centimeters land for Roads and NO-FOOTPATH as the needs of the citizens is changing with all old vehicles getting place in www.OLX.IN and new automobiles are hitting our roads in record number. 

Friends at least the if the next B.B.M.P corporation elected members show commitment and dedication to look after the needs of Bengaluru citizens, our city will have proper pedestrian paths and good roads so that commuting population will not curse any body!?

B.B.M.P Election Count Down & Public Toilets of Bangalore, read on....

Countdown for B.B.M.P elections has begun (AUGUST 22nd, 2015).  Bangalore Ex-corporators and corporators-to-be are fighting out tooth and nail for party tickets. All three Political parties ( B.J.P, Cong (I) and J.D (S)) are in the process of releasing list of candidates contesting elections. news from reliable sources is short-listed candidates are asked to pay nominal fees (5 Lakhs rupees to 1 Crore rupees only) as party-fund to obtain B-Form and contest with official party symbol. When our 'Breezy-Bengaluru' special correspondent 'SA-SU' took a beat of Bengaluru localities, he could discover Social Stratification in disposal of Human Uric-acid aka URINE disposal. Here is an exclusive report prepared on his findings.

B.B.M.P toilets

Pathetic condition of some B.B.M.P toilets 

Bengaluru B.J.P H.Q

Friends our correspondent 'SA-SU', first visited most disciplined political party's a.k.a B.J.P H.Q in Kodandaramapura, area. Just diagonally opposite to B.J.P H.Q is Corporation school grounds. Opposite to this grounds is 'SOUCHALAYA' a.k.a B.B.M.P Public toilet. This is a pay & use toilet with accessories bath & toilet-fits stratifying 'AAM-ADMI' class, those who can't afford to get into any of the Malleshwaram restaurants like Kadamba, Shantisagar or Sukh-Sagar to fulfill NATURE's CALL use these kind of toilets. in addition when SA-SU happened to visit Kodandaramapura streets next to B.J.P H.Q, he could observe one more strata of society with FREE-Toilets created by public on corporation playground compounds!

Next, SA-SU visited the locality of CONG-(I) H.Q in Shivajinagar. Though locality has Pay & Use Toilets in neighboring B.M.T.C Bus stand. the deserted looking road leading to CONG H.Q is used by public for URIC-ACID Disposal in night time.
              

Congress H.Q in Shivajinagar

Next visit was to old-office of Janata-Dal-Secular and it's new makeshift office, in race course road. As this posh locality is adjacent to railway parallel road, it is blessing in disguise for many party workers who storm the place during rally to move to railway lines and dispose URIC-ACID! SA-SU also had first hand experience of BIO-Toilets erected at Cubbon-Parks.

In addition to above mentioned toilets SA-SU witnessed Nirmala-Toilets (supported by INFOSYS in their Corporate Social Responsibility funds). Next SA-SU, entered into ISKCON temple and witnessed well maintained URIC-ACID disposal fittings and finally the upmarket Multiplex Mall, P.V.R cinema halls to witness high class URIC-ACID disposal air conditioned outlets. Thus complete Social Stratification from free to use Corporation ground walls to posh multiplex pay & use toilets define the strata of 'Namma-Bengaluru' in waste disposal. Hope B.B.M.P elected members will erect new toilets and ensure their maintenance in coming up days. ಅಂತು ಕ್ಲಾಸ್ ಮತ್ತು ಮಾಸ್ toilet ನ ರೀತಿ ರಿವಾಜು ನಲ್ಲೂ ನಮ್ಮ ಸಸು ಎಂಬ ಪತ್ರಕರ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಮಹಾನಗರದಲ್ಲಿ ಕಂಡು ಕೊಂಡರು
