Bangalore to be bangalored..!!!
A full circle.. tat shud describe the solution provided by kalam recently to solve blore infra + IT woes..
to quote verbatim from a report on financial express:
“By improving infrastructure in tier-two cities across the state, it is possible to attract 40% of the BPO and call centre work to these secondary cities and reduce the density of Bangalore’s population”
To better understand the need for the above.. consider the following:
- the plight of the traffic on hosur road is so bad, its often joked that ppl leave for office at night and sleep in the bus, so that they reach office on time.
- till a few yrs back.. basic amenities itself like electricity,water,telecom,transport etc were a big problem in most areas. tday.. atleast this has been resolved to a good extent. for example.. not very long ago.. it was the tin boxed state trans buses tat crowded the streets of blore.. tday's its the more modern lookin, spacious and more environ friendly buses tat ply the roads.
- most arterial roads like the hosur road is def in the limelight for all the wrong reasons, thanx to the industry... but the prob is not limited to these.. blore needs to draw up a complete revised plan to develop better connectivity between various points in the city.. n if possible expand current busy routes.
- drainage system in the city needs a major overhaul.. the recent fiasco in blore due to heavy rains.. mirrored the disaster that hit mumbai a few weeks back. BMC has access to reqd funds, wat remains is designing and implementation of a suitable plan. and a tight reign on the level of corruption offcourse.
- states like MAH, GUJ.. are now boasting of superior infra and IT perks...to try n win over the so called blore IT club.
And so far.. the remedial action involves the following (on paper atleast):
Chief Minister Dharam Singh, indicated over Rs 500 crore had been spent on improving the roads in the city during the last 17 months.
his government would also seek financial aid from the Centre to take up gradation of 38 roads, involving 492 km, at a cost of Rs 516 crore, also that the government had cleared construction of an eight-lane 109 km peripheral ring road at a cost of Rs 1,190 crore.
Personally i have no opinion on this issue.. its been beaten to death.. but for the sake of the many blore lovers out there..( u kno who u r..)..i hope blore is indeed blored..!
