Man Made O Pot Hole

If you pass through the Residency road in Banglaore, you might notice this man made circled pot hole which is just opposite to the Baldwin Boys School Gate. More than one feet of this pot hole is still in good shape for more than two months. I think the pefect circled hole is made to access the dirnage. In this heavy traffic road in Bangalore , with out a single sign board, two months back it suddenly appeared. Once it closed, unfortunately it opend again for some reason and the concerned persons totally forgot to close it.

Some body who still has some mankind put two stones in front of this hole to alarm the danger. The rainy season already started and once the pot hole filled with water, the danger will get double and it can take life of persons!!! Who cares about the life about an Indian because Indiaa has a good population? Is this the reason for such a dangerous carelessness ????

Bangalore Traffic Police Day

For the White and Kaki color uniform will get criticism from every corner of Bangalore, we are talking about the Bangalore Traffic Police (BTP) .

But how many of us know the touch situations the traffic police overcoming daily in their duty time. OOPS, duty time reminds everybody about 8 hours in a day, but not for the Bangalore Traffic Police with a team size of 2000. The average duty time for them is 12 hours per day and the working condition ?? It is so horrible to stand in the middle of the road inside the heavy traffic with a highly air and pollution in its peak. Feels sad when some people are rude with them when they gave some advice about traffic rules.More over the weather conditions keep on changing in day by day and they have to face those situations in the middle of the road. What about the salary ?? You know its too low.

Handling 33000000 vehicles per day with a team size of 2000 traffic police men doing a great job in Bangalore and we need to appreciate them and today is the day for it : Traffic Police Day.

Children’s Movement for Civic Awareness celebrating today 27th October 2007 as the Traffic Police day and we need to appreciate their work.

What we can do for the Bangalore Traffic Police on the Traffic Police Day?

* If you come across a traffic police man today, just show the gratitude to their work by thanking them or a thumps up will definitely cherish them.

* Give a thank you card / flower / gift to the traffic police in your regular drive way.

* Not but the least if you are reading this after the Traffic Police Day, just drop two lines for them in the comments in this blog.

Can you imagine drive in your city with out the traffic police ? May be cannot !!!

The solar panel installed above R Vijaya Kumar's small house on the outskirts of Bangalore has ignited the change from auto driver to entrepreneur. Every day at 4 pm, Kumar drives to the Bomanahalli market on the outskirts of Bangalore with 50 batteries that he hires out to street vendors for Rs 15 per battery per night (less than a half USD). He returns at 11 pm to take them back, having made thrice what he would earn as an auto driver.

"the way in which this visionary individual has demonstrated beyond doubt that it is possible to run a renewable energy business which is both a striking commercial success, and which lifts people out of poverty, too." SELCO is a private business committed to providing the highest quality solar energy services to poor people on financial terms they can afford.
