First look of #PinkLine prototype train coach being built by BEML: The train will arrive in Dec, against the original deadline of June. Equipment shortage & lack of facilities in India for type tests delay train supply. Is Pink the new Yellow for #BengaluruMetro? @WF_Watcher

November revolution is here 😊 Congratulations, Team India 🇮🇳💙 #WomenInBlue

Dy CM @DKShivakumar premises to form a committee headed by @RAshokaBJP to review tunnel road project Says, when underground Metro can be built, why not a road? If BJP leaders want public transport, why do they travel by car? @Tejasvi_Surya himself got a new car before marriage

Hours inside Bengaluru’s emergency rooms showed me what urgency, helplessness and courage look like. But as I saw lives hang in the balance, one thought refused to leave me- do we, as a system, still value every life the same? Read my report in @DeccanHerald #Bengaluru #Emergency

After the five corporations and Greater #Bengaluru Authority (GBA) were formed, the govt has sanctioned a major grant of Rs 2,296 crore for the development of both ward and major roads. Again, several roads in Bengaluru to get a fresh layer of tar ahead of civic body elections

Red and yellow take over as Karnataka Rakshana Vedike’s head office in Gandhinagar gears up for #KarnatakaRajyotsava celebrations on November 1 ❤️💛

@naveenmzs @kiranshaw @TVMohandasPai This is arbitrary and heavy-handed, and does not constitute serious governance. What is lacking is a serious effort (as in Indore etc) to handle the garbage crisis in a systematic way.

Tunnel tussle continues Dy CM @DKShivakumar challenged @Tejasvi_Surya to pass a legislation in parliament that construction of tunnel road be banned “He is a kid,” Dy CM said after Surya described tunnel road as a matrimonial project that does not solve traffic congestion

200 houses covered today https://t.co/2AHt6zUx7T

So, the BSWML actually dumped the garbage in front of the houses of “habitual litterbugs.” #Bengaluru @kiranshaw @TVMohandasPai

In his response, Deputy CM @DKShivakumar said only @RAshokaBJP and @Tejasvi_Surya are criticising the project while a majority of the BJP MLAs are in favour. He insisted that the govt is also committed to expanding Metro network provided the Centre provides funds

MP @Tejasvi_Surya hit back at Dy CM @DKShivakumar for justifying Rs 20,000 cr spend on tunnel road by linking car ownership to social status, marriage prospects “Is this a matrimonial project,” Surya asked, stating only 12% own cars & people using bus, Metro also have families

Tunnel tussle @DKShivakumar: new cars enter roads daily. We can’t stop people from using pvt vehicles. Challenges 4 MPs to ask their voters to give up cars @Tejasvi_Surya insists tunnel won’t solve traffic. Points to ₹50 Metro fare vs ₹650 tunnel toll, warns 22 new bottlenecks

THE 'E' in E-BUS Of late there have been a number of accidents involving electric buses. In a lot of articles about such accidents, it has been specifically pointed out that the buses are electric ones. However, in a lot of the cases, there is nothing 'e' about the accident.

@Bc_Bengaluru @Tejasvi_Surya @moneycontrolcom @masaleemips @nitin_gadkari @NHAI_Official @TVMohandasPai @DKShivakumar STRR-NH 44 Junction needs to be quickly upgraded into a CLOVER FLYOVER to ensure quick entry/exit without crossings This is the next HEBBAL Flyover in few years

Some of the garbage-dumping videos shot by marshals

Beginning Thursday, BSWML will launch a new enforcement drive: garbage from black spots will be traced back and returned to the homes of habitual litterbugs as part of an accountability measure. Civic body has already identified about 200 houses with the help of marshals

1/ FSI 5.0 for tunnel hubs (a 5x increase) is a statutory violation of the RMP. This extreme relaxation overrides zoning for "sensitive green zones," prioritizing private real estate income over sound urban planning. It's clearly a land-for-tunnel deal. article : @naveenmzs
