Today's garbage collection event lasted for 2 hours, until there was no more garbage left to collect. Actually, according to the event schedule, he was to participate in the activity for 30 minutes only, but he didn't stop because he still saw lots of garbage left. Even though the guests and media had already left and returned to the venue, he still continued until the end, to a point where the baskets ran out and a boat was sent to fetch more baskets. In total, 2.3 tonnes of garbage was collected today, which broke the record of 1.6 tonnes of garbage that was collected the first time. There’s a saying that goes ‘How you do anything is how you do everything’ ..big shoutout to the magicman here… you really do not stop when you’re tired, you stop when you’re DONE. Amazing work today!

#WATCH | Delhi: BJP MP Tejasvi Surya says, "It... has been a full 15 days now since DK Shivakumar took charge as the Chief Minister of Karnataka. In the last 15 days, there has been no clarity on who will be the minister in charge of Bengaluru and when he will take charge... The Chief Minister wants to keep with him the BDA (Bangalore Development Authority) and the BMRDA (Bangalore Metropolitan Region Development Authority), while he wants to give the Bengaluru in-charge minister control over the GBA (Greater Bengaluru Authority) and the five non-existent corporations... The Chief Minister must give the people of Karnataka a fully empowered minister for Bengaluru, whom the people can hold accountable... Starting tomorrow, I will be launching a campaign where we will remind the Chief Minister that he has not appointed a Bengaluru in-charge minister even after 15 days..."show more

If short flyovers don’t work, how exactly will a... short tunnel work? Bengaluru Development Minister Shri Krishna Byre Gowda himself admitted that short flyovers only move congestion from one junction to another as seen at Silk Board to Ragigudda. So why is the State Government spending ₹1,139 crore of public money on a 2.2 Km tunnel at Hebbal that will funnel six lanes of traffic into the already congested Mekhri Circle. This isn't infrastructure planning. But a perfect example of shortsighted planning, contract distribution and headline management. People of Bengaluru deserve better urban planning.show more

#WATCH | Bengaluru, Karnataka: On the garbage issue, Former... CFO, Infosys Mohandas Pai says, "... D K Shivakumar should sit down with Maheshwar Rao and GBA and the opposition to work it out... Bangalore has run out of dumping grounds for garbage. Exit dumping grounds are full. What should we do? There are new dumping grounds that have come. We should use that for some time. But you must see how to reduce the garbage going to the dumping ground. About 60-70 % is wet garbage. Why don't you make a rule that wet garbage should be treated by all generators beyond a certain point? You must have machines which can convert into compost. All the dry compost which is there, send it to the incinerator..."show more

The Pink Line Metro is finally nearing its opening.... This will be a big relief for Bengaluru’s commuters. Along with BDA Minister Shri Krishna Byre Gowda and MLA Shri Krishnappa, I inspected the Pink Line from Jayadeva to Kalena Agrahara and all the stations. CMRS has assured the pending safety clearances will be completed in 1-2 weeks, followed by rolling stock approval. I’ll personally follow up with the Central Government, Minister & Railway Board Chairman to ensure all approvals are secured at the earliest. Good initiatives by the government will have our 100% support. But stupid and unscientific projects like Tunnel Road will be strongly opposed. Bengaluru needs solutions, not politics. Together let’s build a better Bengaluru. ನಮ್ಮ ಮೆಟ್ರೋshow more

Outrage is growing after a mom was forced to... do the garbage men’s job while they stood there and watched! She left her cans out for 2 weeks in a row, and they continued to leave the bags in the cans. Eventually, she had enough! The next time they came, she put her crying baby down on the grass and lifted the cans up herself. The garbage men (both literally and figuratively) didn’t even offer to help her at that point. How angry does this make you?show more

Phillip: Do you understand how the labor statistics surveys... work? Troyes: How are they off? By that much? Phillip: They're doing surveys to try to understand the labor picture in the US. And as the months go by, they get more information from employers, from households. And they add that information to get a more accurate picture of what happened in the prior 30 days. So it's actually a statistical process that is designed to in real time, correct, based on new information. It's quite the opposite of what you're suggesting. The revisions are not a cover up.show more
