Politicians want power, children need electricity for their future

by March 10, 2009 Infrastructure

Untimely power cuts in Bengaluru is causing a lot of distress to school children who have their exams.

All our politicians in the state are now busy mustering POWER to rule us, with promises. On the contrary, there is untimely load shedding ( especially in the evenings between 6 PM to 11 PM and early mornings 5 AM to 7 AM).

This has caused problems to exam going children. They have to revise the syllabus of the entire year. Although, the government provides mid-day meals,free books and other facilities, the students cannot revise in the last few hours before the exam. What would be the impact on the psychology of the children?

We hope our government and energy department would look into this matter and see that there is NO LOAD SHEDDING IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS DURING LATE EVENINGS AND EARLY MORNINGS TILL THE EXAMINATIONS ARE OVER.

Bengaluru’s Peripheral Ring Road: Two decades on, who really benefits?

by February 4, 2026 Infrastructure
The Bengaluru Business Corridor project risks displacing farmers and affecting land value, continuing the twenty-year struggle.

Krishna Ramesh, a farmer from Kachamaranahalli village, 21 km from the centre of Bengaluru, has lived under the shadow of a land acquisition notice since 2007. His five acres, the only land he owns, are among 2,558 acres notified for the Peripheral Ring Road (PRR) project, now rebranded as the Bengaluru Business Corridor. The land sustains his family, yielding over ₹1 lakh a month. If the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA), the project’s planning authority, proceeds with the acquisition, Krishna, who is also the General Secretary of PRR Raitha and Niveshannadharara Sangha, will be left landless—his livelihood dismantled, his future uprooted.…
