The most pressing issues affecting Bengaluru are traffic congestion, pothole ridden roads, inefficient waste management, and flooding during the monsoon due to waterlogging. My primary goal is to find lasting solutions to these problems and create an environment where the people of #Bengaluru can live peacefully, safely, and with...

Goons in Bengaluru Show No Fear of Law Early-Morning Robbery at Shantinagar Road Robbery cases in Bengaluru are becoming disturbingly common, and it is clear that these street goons have absolutely no fear of law or consequences. Even at 4:30 AM, when most people expect the roads to be silent and safe, criminals are roaming freely and targeting innocent citizens.A shocking incident took place on Shantinagar Road, where a person travelling on his two-wheeler was reportedly robbed by three scooter-borne goons. The gang first overtook the victim’s scooter and snatched the key while still in motion, deliberately putting his life in danger. As the victim struggled to balance his vehicle, two of the criminals jumped in, robbed him ruthlessly, and fled the spot without any hesitation.This kind of organised street robbery clearly shows how emboldened these criminals have become. They roam the city like they own the streets overtaking, threatening, and attacking innocent people. Such behaviour isn't just criminal, it's pure cowardice. These goons don't have the courage to earn an honest living, so they resort to cheap tactics and violence.The rising number of such incidents raises a serious question: Where is the fear of law? Why are these goons moving so confidently on public roads, as if no police action can touch them? Bengaluru residents deserve safe streets, not highways ruled by criminals.Authorities must intensify patrolling, especially during early hours, and ensure that such gangs are tracked down and punished. Until then, ordinary people continue to be the victims of criminals who misuse the darkness to commit crimes without shame or fear. #bangalore #bengaluru #shantinagar ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice alok kumar CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು Joint CP, Traffic, Bengaluru DGP KARNATAKA S.

The Pathetic State of Gutkha Spitters in Bengaluru – A Shame on Civic Sense It’s disheartening and utterly shameful to witness the sorry state of the foot overbridge in Whitefield, Bengaluru the one that connects the Kadugodi Bus Stand to the Whitefield Railway Station. A structure built with the intent of easing pedestrian movement and ensuring safety has now become a canvas of disgrace, thanks to a certain section of irresponsible individuals who chew gutkha and mindlessly spit it all over the bridge walls and floors. What should have been a clean, functional public utility now stands defaced with red stains and foul odour, all thanks to the gutkha-spitting menace. The entire stretch of the bridge is littered with spit marks, especially on the sides, as if it were made solely for these shameless acts. It raises a serious question—who is to blame here? The people who consumed and spat gutkha in public without an ounce of civic sense? Or the authorities who built the bridge with good intentions but seemingly failed to enforce cleanliness and maintain discipline? Let’s not mince words the primary blame lies with the gutkha spitters. These individuals, with absolute disregard for public hygiene and basic decency, have turned a public asset into a public toilet. They don’t think twice before leaving behind stains that not only make the place unhygienic but also dangerous, especially during the monsoon when the stairs and paths become slippery. This is not just disrespect to public property—it’s disrespect to the entire community. And while the railway authorities should step up surveillance and maintenance, the core of the problem lies in the lack of responsibility and civic behaviour among the public. No amount of cleaning or rules will help unless people stop treating public spaces as their personal dumping grounds. India is developing, our cities are growing, infrastructure is improving—but what about our mindsets? What’s the point of building metro lines, flyovers, and footbridges if people can’t respect what is given to them? Gutkha spitting isn’t just a dirty habit it’s a public nuisance, a health hazard, and a cultural embarrassment. It's high time we call out this behaviour. People need to be held accountable. Whether it’s through stricter penalties, surveillance, or social shame, we must find ways to put an end to this. Cleanliness is not just the government’s job it’s a collective responsibility. To those who spit gutkha on public infrastructure—you are not rebels, you are not cool, and you’re definitely not helpless victims. You are the problem. And unless this behaviour stops, even the most well-meaning efforts to build a better Bengaluru will continue to be stained both literally and metaphorically. #bangalore #bengaluru #whitefield #bbmp @BBMPCOMM South Western Railway ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice DCP Whitefield Bengaluru ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು Joint CP, Traffic, Bengaluru DGP KARNATAKA S.

Why Build Tunnel Roads When Bengaluru Itself is a Giant Pothole?" Wow, what an incredible sight we witnessed recently in Namma Bengaluru a BMTC bus majestically sailing through a waterlogged road like it was part of some luxury cruise line. Who needs Venice when you have Bengaluru’s very own “Water Metro,” right? Maybe this is the true essence of “Brand Bengaluru” turning roads into rivers and buses into boats. Hats off to the government for such visionary urban planning! Should we now start calling our daily commute a water adventure? Or maybe DK Shivakumar will announce a new “Swim to Work” scheme soon? If this is the level of planning we can expect, then citizens should probably start investing in kayaks instead of cars. And now we hear talks about a tunnel road how exciting! Because clearly, if we can’t maintain the roads above the ground, the next logical step is to dig under and create a swimming pool experience below as well. Will the tunnel road come with free scuba gear? Or will it be part of the next wave of government freebies right after the mixer grinders and pressure cookers? It’s amazing how our tax money flows just like rainwater on our streets nowhere useful. Drainage? Maintenance? Planning? Accountability? Oh no, those are outdated concepts. What we get instead are ribbon-cuttings, press conferences, and lovely photoshoots of leaders pretending everything is under control, while citizens literally wade through the mess. Dear DK Shivakumar and team, we salute your unmatched ability to turn every rain into a PR disaster. If incompetence were an Olympic sport, Bengaluru’s civic management would be bringing home gold medals year after year. So let’s all raise a toast or maybe a life jacket to the glorious future of Bengaluru. Where infrastructure collapses, but the PR machinery stands strong. Where roads disappear, but promises flood our ears. Bravo, government. Truly, well done. #bangalore #bengaluru #bangalorerains #bengalururains #bmtc BMTC Ramalinga Reddy ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು Joint CP, Traffic, Bengaluru alok kumar DGP KARNATAKA ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ Karnataka State Police ChristinMathewPhilip

Passengers Create Spiritual Moment at Bengaluru Airport Amid Flight Cancellations During a time when passengers were visibly frustrated and exhausted due to repeated IndiGo flight cancellations caused by cabin crew shortages, an unexpected and heart-warming moment unfolded at Bengaluru Airport. In the midst of chaos, confusion, and long waiting hours, a rare scene of devotion and positivity emerged.A group of passengers began singing “Hare Krishna, Hare Ram” bhajans, and soon, others joined in clapping, dancing, and creating a peaceful, spiritual atmosphere right inside the terminal. What could have been a tense and stressful situation transformed into a moment of unity, hope, and collective strength.This beautiful incident is a reminder that faith and positivity can lighten even the heaviest of moments. Instead of letting frustration take over, these passengers chose devotion, joy, and togetherness. Their spirit turned an inconvenient delay into an uplifting experience for everyone around them. In challenging times whether while travelling or in life keeping patience, staying positive, and holding on to faith can make all the difference. Moments like these show that when people come together with a pure heart, even an airport waiting area can turn into a place of peace, devotion, and inspiration.A true message to all travellers When situations are out of your control, let your attitude be your strength. Stay calm, stay hopeful, and keep moving forward with grace. #bangalore #bengaluru #devotion #harekrishna #harerama ISKCON ISKCON Bangalore BLR Airport IndiGo ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು Joint CP, Traffic, Bengaluru alok kumar DGP KARNATAKA ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ Karnataka State Police S.

Public Safety Ignored: Child Falls Into Uncovered Drain in Govindapura In a disturbing incident that once again exposes civic negligence in Bengaluru, a young school-going child fell into an open stormwater drain in Govindapura, Sarvajna Nagar. The incident occurred right in front of the school premises, where construction work was underway without even the most basic safety precautions. Shockingly, the stormwater drain had been left uncovered, with no barricades, warning signs, or protective measures in place. Due to the unsafe conditions on the road, the child was forced to walk along the edge to reach school and accidentally fell into the open drain where the slab had been left exposed. Such blatant carelessness highlights the utter disregard for public safety by the authorities responsible for overseeing the work. Thankfully, the child was rescued immediately by alert passersby and escaped without any injuries. However, this narrow escape cannot be brushed aside as mere luck. The incident comes less than a week after another tragic case in which a child lost his life due to negligence by the Water Board, raising serious and alarming concerns about the continued failure of civic agencies, including the GBA, to ensure safe infrastructure.Residents of the area have expressed anger and frustration, stating that slow, poorly planned, and unsafe construction work has turned daily movement into a life-threatening task. Parents fear for their children’s safety, while pedestrians are left to navigate dangerous roads filled with open drains, debris, and incomplete works.This incident is yet another reminder that unchecked infrastructure projects and lack of accountability are putting innocent lives at risk. Authorities must be held responsible for their negligence before more lives are endangered. Safety cannot be treated as optional, and urgent action is needed to ensure proper barricading, clear signage, and strict monitoring of civic works to prevent such incidents from recurring #bangalore #bengaluru #drainage #gba #kid Maheshwar Rao.M, IAS Greater Bengaluru Authority ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು Joint CP, Traffic, Bengaluru alok kumar DGP KARNATAKA ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ Karnataka State Police S.

The inconvenience caused to NEET students today is not an isolated incident. It is a symptom of a larger problem that affects lakhs of Bengalureans throughout the year. Roads are routinely blocked for political rallies, birthday celebrations of politicians, religious processions, local festivals, orchestra programs and community events. Often, these disruptions are imposed on the public with little notice, minimal regulation and no consideration for the daily lives of ordinary citizens. The people who pay the price are office-goers trying to get to work, students appearing for examinations, parents taking children to school, patients rushing to hospitals, and countless others simply trying to go about their day. A few hours of road closure can throw an entire part of the city into chaos, causing stress, lost productivity and avoidable hardship. A modern city cannot function this way. Public roads exist primarily for public movement. Any restriction on them must be rare, justified and tightly regulated. Bengaluru needs a clear policy governing road closures, with strict permissions, advance public notice, traffic management plans and accountability for violations. If cultural, religious or community events require public spaces, the Government should create designated venues and earmark specific days, such as selected Sundays, where such activities can be conducted without disrupting the lives of millions. Cities are built for people to move, work, study and live with dignity. The convenience of a few cannot come at the cost of the inconvenience of everyone else. The Karnataka Government must treat this as a governance issue and bring in a comprehensive policy to regulate road closures across Bengaluru. Republic Kannada

Gated societies are not India's future. Townships are. Think about why gated societies became so popular in the first place. It was never just about security. People wanted good roads, proper footpaths, parks, greenery, cleanliness... basically a place where they could step out without having to deal with the everyday problems outside. But even the best gated society has one problem. The moment you step outside, you're back to reality. You still have to go to work. Your kids have to go to school. You have to visit hospitals, restaurants, shopping areas and a hundred other places. And you have to navigate the bad traffic, dirty roads, potholes on roads, etc. That's where I think townships come in. I recently visited Bhartiya City in North Bangalore. It's spread across 125 acres and has residential societies, offices, schools, hospitals, hotels, restaurants, parks... almost everything you need. The roads, footpaths, greenery and public spaces are all maintained by the private developer. You're no longer buying just a flat, but buying an entire environment/ecosystem. And this is happening because people have slowly stopped expecting good public infrastructure from the government. They'd rather pay a private developer to build and maintain it. First we paid extra for a gated society. Now we're paying for an entire town. Think about how crazy that is. People pay so much in taxes, yet they still feel the need to pay again for good roads, parks, footpaths, cleanliness and basic civic infrastructure because they don't expect to get it outside. People are trying to escape the problems of India... while still living in India. I genuinely think this is where Indian real estate is headed. More townships. More self-contained ecosystems. More people choosing to live inside these bubbles because that's where they find the quality of life they're looking for.

A 2 BHK apartment in this area costs over a crore, yet the road infrastructure here is worse than ever. In a city like Bangalore, where people pay premium prices for homes and heavy taxes, residents are still forced to deal with broken, pothole-ridden, tar-free roads and garbage-filled streets in areas like Gunjur and Mugalur. People invest their life savings to buy homes here, expecting at least basic civic amenities such as proper roads, drainage systems, streetlights, and waste management. Instead, they get dust during summer, mud during rain, traffic chaos every day, and piles of garbage rotting on the roadside. This is not development, this is pure negligence.The biggest question every resident is asking is where is the tax money going? Citizens are paying property tax, road tax, GST, maintenance charges, and fuel tax, yet the ground reality looks abandoned. Builders sell luxury dreams, but once people move in, they are welcomed by third-class infrastructure. It is shameful that some of the fastest-growing areas of Bangalore are being ignored while authorities continue making promises. If people are paying crore-level prices for apartments, they deserve world-class infrastructure, not roads that look worse than village paths and streets that resemble dumping yards.Enough excuses. Residents need accountability, proper planning, and immediate action. Because right now, in Gunjur and Mugalur, people are paying metropolitan prices but living with broken civic standards. #bangalore #bengaluru #gunjur #development DK Shivakumar Siddaramaiah INTEGRATED COMMAND AND CONTROL CENTRE S.

Once a Photographer, Now Forgotten Srinivas Struggles to Survive on Bengaluru Streets In the heart of Namma Bengaluru, a deeply moving and heartbreaking story has come to light. A man named Srinivas, once a skilled photographer with a passion for capturing life’s moments, is now forced to beg on the streets due to unfortunate personal circumstances that completely turned his life upside down.Srinivas did not choose this life. Fate pushed him into it. Because of unresolved personal struggles and hardships, he slowly lost everything he once had his work, his stability, and eventually, his support system. In his most difficult phase, no one stood by him, not even his own family. The people he trusted the most turned away when he needed them the most. Today, Srinivas can be found around KR Market, trying to survive one day at a time. His meals and basic needs are met either through begging or through the kindness of strangers who offer him food when they see his condition. Each day is a struggle, each night uncertain. Once a man with dreams and talent, he now lives at the mercy of circumstances beyond his control.Recently, a kind-hearted individual met Srinivas by chance. During their conversation, Srinivas opened up and shared his painful journey—how life can change in ways we never imagine, and how quickly a person can fall when support disappears. His story is a stark reminder that talent alone is not always enough to survive, and that anyone, no matter how skilled or hopeful, can be broken by life’s hardships.If anyone wishes to help Srinivas whether by offering support, work opportunities related to photography, or simply a kind word he can currently be found in the KR Market area. Sometimes, a small act of humanity can become a turning point in someone’s life. Life can be cruel and unpredictable. When it breaks someone, it often does so silently, without warning. Srinivas’s story is not just about poverty it is about lost dignity, abandoned trust, and the silent suffering of those we walk past every day. Let us not look away. Let us remember that behind every face on the street is a story, a talent, and a human being who once dreamed of a better life. #bangalore #bengaluru #krmarket ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು Joint CP, Traffic, Bengaluru alok kumar DGP KARNATAKA ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ Karnataka State Police S.

Once a Photographer, Now Forgotten Srinivas Struggles to Survive on Bengaluru Streets In the heart of Namma Bengaluru, a deeply moving and heartbreaking story has come to light. A man named Srinivas, once a skilled photographer with a passion for capturing life’s moments, is now forced to beg on the streets due to unfortunate personal circumstances that completely turned his life upside down.Srinivas did not choose this life. Fate pushed him into it. Because of unresolved personal struggles and hardships, he slowly lost everything he once had his work, his stability, and eventually, his support system. In his most difficult phase, no one stood by him, not even his own family. The people he trusted the most turned away when he needed them the most. Today, Srinivas can be found around KR Market, trying to survive one day at a time. His meals and basic needs are met either through begging or through the kindness of strangers who offer him food when they see his condition. Each day is a struggle, each night uncertain. Once a man with dreams and talent, he now lives at the mercy of circumstances beyond his control.Recently, a kind-hearted individual met Srinivas by chance. During their conversation, Srinivas opened up and shared his painful journey—how life can change in ways we never imagine, and how quickly a person can fall when support disappears. His story is a stark reminder that talent alone is not always enough to survive, and that anyone, no matter how skilled or hopeful, can be broken by life’s hardships.If anyone wishes to help Srinivas whether by offering support, work opportunities related to photography, or simply a kind word he can currently be found in the KR Market area. Sometimes, a small act of humanity can become a turning point in someone’s life. Life can be cruel and unpredictable. When it breaks someone, it often does so silently, without warning. Srinivas’s story is not just about poverty it is about lost dignity, abandoned trust, and the silent suffering of those we walk past every day. Let us not look away. Let us remember that behind every face on the street is a story, a talent, and a human being who once dreamed of a better life. #bangalore #bengaluru #krmarket ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು Joint CP, Traffic, Bengaluru alok kumar DGP KARNATAKA ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ Karnataka State Police S.

Karnataka Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda strongly came down on his own government machinery and the contractor during an inspection of the ongoing Metro Phase 2B project from Nagawara to Bagalur Cross on Sunday, openly expressing his frustration over prolonged delays, poor execution, and the hardships being imposed on the public.During the inspection, the minister pulled up Metro officials and contractors for incomplete pillars, blocked roads, and footpaths filled with construction debris, which have severely affected traffic flow and pedestrian movement. He ordered the immediate clearance of waste, removal of unnecessary roadblocks, and directed officials to speed up construction work to reduce inconvenience to commuters and residents.Byre Gowda expressed shock that Metro pillars at some locations have remained incomplete for nearly two years. Questioning the lack of accountability and planning, he asked officials why a stretch of road had been shut for over a year with little visible progress. “You shut this stretch a year ago. What have you been doing all this time? Does it take one year just to complete a pile cap? Now you are saying in two months you will do magic. Where is the pillar? I can’t even see it,” he remarked sharply, taking a direct dig at the contractor.He also criticised the irrational blocking of roads, pointing out that construction activity at one location was causing road closures and traffic chaos elsewhere. “If work is happening at Hebbal, then block Hebbal. Why are you closing roads here and troubling people unnecessarily?” he asked, highlighting the lack of coordination and sensitivity towards public suffering.The minister further flagged the pathetic condition of footpaths and service roads, which were clogged with debris and construction waste, making movement extremely difficult and unsafe for pedestrians and motorists. He directed officials to clear the debris immediately and restore access for the public. Acting on his instructions, officials cleared the waste on the spot in his presence. Raising serious concerns over worsening traffic congestion in North Bengaluru, Byre Gowda pointed out that several roads had been blocked without justification, leading to daily traffic snarls and long delays for commuters. He instructed officials to remove avoidable barricades without delay and ensure smoother vehicular movement.Criticising the authorities for testing public patience, the minister stressed that prolonged and poorly managed construction work was unfairly burdening citizens who have been enduring inconvenience for years. He warned officials that delays, lack of planning, and casual execution would not be tolerated any longer, and called for strict accountability and better coordination to ensure Metro works are completed at the earliest. He подчеркed that development cannot come at the cost of endless suffering for the public, and authorities must respect the patience and time of Bengalureans #bangalore #bengaluru #bagalur #yelahanka Krishna Byre Gowda ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice alok kumar DGP KARNATAKA ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ Karnataka State Police S.

🇷🇺 Alexander Babakov Dismantles the Club of Rome’s Dogma of Scarcity World Resources Are Limitless. We Can Feed Everyone. We Can Clothe Everyone. We Can Create Favorable Conditions For All Alexander Babakov: What does the well-known Club of Rome tell us? There is a shortage of resources, there is a shortage of food, the population is too big, etc., and these are the principles that they built their forecasts on. And these forecasts are not true to life. What does Chairman Xi say? What does our president say? World resources are limitless. We can feed everyone, we can clothe everyone, we can create favorable conditions for all. What do we need? We need goal setting. And Chinese goal setting is not generating profit or making more money today than yesterday. No—the goal is to create the right environment for human development, for collective development, for the country as a whole. It is the upside potential that guarantees achieving the highest dreamed-for goals, and it relates to everything, including technological solutions. You’ve seen mind-blowing technological solutions that are aimed at improving the quality of life of the Chinese people. But it is not only that—China can export that. But the key thing is that China started with finance. China created an independent system from those conditions that were set by the West for other countries. For China, or even for Russia of the 1990s, the West was writing rules under which countries could develop only by relying on the amount of money that the metropolis left for that country. Well, you will have as much money as how much oil you have sold. This is how it was in ancient times, when there were real colonies, and the same thing is happening in the modern world. China closed this down and said: in terms of money to develop China, we have sufficient money for our projects. The money mass in the Chinese economy is higher than that of the United States, Europe, and Japan taken together. And China made numerous elements of the economy move together. They armed their people with resources to push development forward. And China does not have any tasks that are not achievable. For any country, there are certain constraints. There are constraints that can be described as the number of projects that can be implemented. This freedom of decision-making and setting a new goal—the quality of life—is something that the West has not yet understood, and it will have to accept that China will lead the world, and then other countries will follow China: Pakistan, which has the same mindset; India thinks the same; now Russia has its own vision. And our principal goal today is not profit-making, not increasing GDP, but a positive resolution of demographic problems—not only maintaining the population, but increasing the population. And it is not a quantitative but a qualitative goal.

LASG SET TO PARTNER SWEDISH COYS ON WASTE TO ENERGY ..As Env. Comm. says the State Government will continue to pay special attention to waste conversion The quest to make good use of the high solid waste generated in Lagos State got another boost on Tuesday as the state expressed readiness to partner with some Sweden organizations on how to turn both solid waste and liquid waste to energy across the metropolis. Speaking during the meeting at Alausa, Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab said the state will continue to pay special attention to waste management adding that waste is not a waste but remain one of the best resource every where. He said Waste to energy is a project that the State Government is willing to embark on in order to move the narrative forward in a progressive and productive way. "Our resolve from the beginning of this tenure is that whatever we have to engage in to manage and deploy our solid and liquid waste as a resource is a priority for this government as it will save Lagos but other neighbouring state" he said. The Commissioner stated that the Ministry which is a public facing ministry has resolved to embrace any project that will cut the carbon foot print in the state. He said the state being a coastal state is faces alot of challenges, one of which is the Atlantic Ocean rising at the peak of the rainy season adding that the state is also at the end of numerous tributaries where water is discharged into the lagoon all of which could lead to flooding in the state. He said lagos generates between 13,000 to 14,000 tonnes of waste per day and the state is open to suggestions about possible productive ways to turn it into a Resources and move the state forward. Wahab said lagos as a State is working to decongest the roads and make Lagos a 21st century mega city saying that the cause and effect on the environment is that these moves help to reduce the emissions on the long run. According to him, As a result of current energy crisis in Nigeria, this has caused the spike in the cost of PMS and its multiple effects on the economy. So if the Lagos State Government can go ahead with this project. it will solve half of the problem in the PMS high price in Lagos. "This project is something we have to pursue deliberately and diligently. This is because while the government on its own part is trying to push out CNG at lower cost, conversion of waste to energy will also be an option especially for public transport in Lagos" Wahab said Lagos account for over 50% of the vehicular traffic in the country with the smallest land mass as well as 22million people which is 10% of the country’s population being inhabited in with less than 3,600 square kilometers of land, stressing that the project is not an option but a necessity. He recalled that earlier in the year, the state government had been in consultation with two Dutch companies one which will turn waste to energy and the other which will deal with electronic waste, adding that the state can indeed change the notion that waste is not a waste but a resource. The head of the delegation, representative of the Consul of Sweeden and the Business Promotion Officer, Sweden Embassy Abuja, Ms. Sara Ibru noted that the Lagos Government is known to be very pro - active in all its endeavours and that the Swedish Organizations are willing to collaborate with Lagos State to turn solid and liquid wastes into valuable resources. The Honourable Commissioner was joined by the Permanent Secretary, Office of Environmental Services, Gaji Omobolaji Tajudeen and his Counterpart in Drainage Services, Engr Mahamood Adegbite to receive the visitors The organizations representatives include Swedish Trade and Investment Council ( Business Sweden); Honourary Consul of Sweden in Nigeria; Swedish Development Agency (SDA); NIR International Council of Swedish Industry and Swedfund.

.Aaron Levie to Jack Altman: Democrats Are To Blame For California's 'Insane' Affordability Crisis "We live in California. It should be like the greatest place on Earth on every dimension. How do you beat this weather? You've completely created the atmosphere of every major tech company. You have Stanford, Berkeley, Caltech. You have institutions and all the venture capital. You're sitting on this incredible asset and then literally you can't make it affordable to live here. That's just insane. That's totally insane and that is 100% due to the bureaucracy of our state. That's basically a Democrat problem. Democrats can't out message that with their policy views because their policy views are in many cases just the wrong policy views. You actually just have to build and you have to create an environment where you can build things. During the election cycle, one of my whole kind of pushes was we could get some tech policy and sort of pro-progress policy in the Harris orbit. She actually had some very strong people studying these issues, caring about these issues. I would talk to friends, folks around tech, and I would say what's the problem with the Democrat Party? As an example, and there's actually a very long list, it was like, 'Hey, I'm in like climate tech and I can't build in California because of the regulations in California.' How inane is that where a climate tech entrepreneur, like the top issue, doesn't like Democrats. That is a big self-own."

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry: Faux Humanitarians Remind me again, what exactly is Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s humanitarian work beyond the expensive visits, carefully staged photographs, and endless publicity? Humanitarian and charitable work is supposed to create measurable results. It is supposed to involve long term commitment, funding, follow up, partnerships with local communities, transparency about outcomes, and tangible benefits for the people being helped. Instead, what often seems to emerge from Sussex initiatives are headlines, press releases, glossy photographs, and glowing media coverage. The publicity is easy to find. The long term impact is much harder to identify. The Sussexes seem to be following the Amber Heard “pledge” code of philanthropy. But where is the long term follow up? Where are the progress reports? Where are the updates showing the promised impact years later? Where are the measurable outcomes that show lives were actually improved? A charity visit should be the beginning of the story, not the entire story. Studies have repeatedly shown that celebrity photo opportunities alone do very little to address the underlying problems facing communities. Awareness has value, but awareness without action, investment, accountability, or long term engagement is not philanthropy. The usual defence is that they are “highlighting important issues.” But this is not 1995 anymore. We live in an era where social media exposes everything in real time and information spreads globally within minutes. People do not need celebrities flying across the world for carefully staged photographs to learn about a crisis. News, videos, eyewitness accounts, charities, journalists, and local communities are already bringing these issues directly to the public every single day. The public is far more aware of PR tactics than it was a decade ago. People can tell the difference between genuine humanitarian work that produces lasting results and highly publicized appearances that generate headlines and positive coverage for the people involved. If the primary outcome of a humanitarian trip is a collection of photographs, glowing articles, and publicity for the visitors, while the long term impact remains unclear, then perhaps the wrong people were at the centre of the story. Real humanitarian work is about the people being helped. The Sussex brand often seems to be about the Sussexes. The world does not need more humanitarian tourists posing beside a crisis. It needs people committed to solving one.

Wow, since the last post blew up, here is another fascinating insight from my years working with car-on-demand companies and more traditional automakers. Most people still think the entire automotive business is about selling or leasing vehicles. But there is a new market emerging that is absolutely massive: data Modern cars are packed with sensors and constantly collect real-time information. And this data is quickly becoming one of the most valuable revenue streams in the industry. Companies like Tesla, with their autonomous, sensor-rich fleets, are positioned to benefit enormously, but the same applies to many newer connected vehicles across all brands. What makes this so powerful is how diverse the use cases are. Cities, for example, can tap into aggregated vehicle data to understand exactly where they need to intervene. If thousands of cars detect the same irregular bump on the road, you instantly know there is a pothole at a precise location. Scale that across a whole city and you have a live map of infrastructure issues before residents even complain. The same data can help optimize traffic flow, identify congestion patterns in real time, or highlight zones where drivers consistently brake or accelerate suddenly, revealing potential safety problems. Automakers can also use this information to better understand how people actually drive in the real world, which directly influences design, durability testing, and product evolution And then there is the insurance angle. As driving behavior becomes measurable at scale, dynamic insurance pricing emerge. Acceleration habits, braking patterns, cornering, speed consistency, environmental context all of this will feed into future scoring models What we are seeing right now is only the beginning. With cars full of electronics, sensors, and especially autonomous vision systems, data is becoming one of the largest and most predictable revenue lines for automakers and mobility companies. Even traditional vehicles are now connected and constantly transmitting information that can be analyzed or monetized in multiple ways We are still just scratching the surface, but the shift is already underway. The value is no longer just in the vehicle itself. It is also in the billions of data points it generates every single day

SM Krishna: A personal tribute I woke up today to the news of the passing of Sri SM Krishna, one of the most progressive and visionary former Chief Minister of Karnataka. Though my personal interactions with him have been limited to a few interactions at public events, the loss seemed deeply personal. As I booked tickets to Bengaluru to pay my last respects to the great man, I realised how deeply I was inspired by him in a multitude of ways. Mr. Krishna was the CM of Karnataka when I was in school, when I was first forming my worldview of politics and public life. It was the days when I was contesting my school elections for Head Boy and was tasting action in democracy for the first time. Naturally, as CM, Krishna dominated the newspapers and TV channels and I would follow his interactions with great interest. Also, it was the time when Dr. Rajkumar was abducted by Veerappan and we would have school holidays declared regularly. Many school children of my age, we would watch news with curiosity to know if the CM would declare another holiday. In all those interviews, the CM’s poise, his weighted choice of words and his resoluteness impressed my young mind. This inspired me deeply and drew me to him. The more I followed him, as a young boy interested in politics, the more I wanted to model myself after him. Mr. Krishna was in many respects a leader ahead of his times. At a time when political leaders were deeply influenced by socialism to the point of opposing industrialisation and urbanisation, Krishna was a clear believer in free markets, industrialisation and the need for urbanisation to create mass level prosperity. It was under his leadership that Bengaluru emerged as the country’s IT capital, leveraging its unique educational and human resource capabilities. Most of the now big IT services firms of the country received immense policy support during Krishna’s time. Bengaluru also saw its infrastructure develop rapidly. From the metro to the flyovers to the ring roads to the work on the new airport - all received tremendous attention under SM Krishna. He clearly understood that cities are the engines of growth and prosperity and that they needed to be given the political and financial capital needed. Even to this day, unfortunately, many political leaders and parties do not understand this and continue to ignore our urban development needs. Perhaps, this distance from socialism also had a role in his sartorial choices. While it was expected that political leaders should dress in the modest Khadi and shun flamboyance in an attempt to resonate with the poor masses, Krishna was flamboyant, stylish and savvy. He dressed well, like how the leader of an aspiring global city should. I have never seen him dressed shabbily ever, even in photos from the hospital bed. There was something regal about his appearance. I have googled so many of his pictures to try and buy similar clothes, ties and pocket squares. He is undoubtedly the most stylish politician of Karnataka. Mr. Krishna’s term as CM was not a bed of roses. The abduction of Dr. Rajkumar was one of the most difficult challenges that faced him and the way he handled the issue tactically, coordinating with CM Jayalalitha and also initiating track two dialogues with the forest brigand, and finally ensuring the release of Rajkumar is a lesson for many in crisis management and diplomacy. Unfortunately, the state suffered continuous drought during his CM-ship and despite his best efforts, the farmers crisis across the state remained quite acute and even led to the eventual loss of the Congress Party in the elections. Despite these challenges, his leadership transformed Bengaluru and created tremendous wealth for people of Karnataka. If Karnataka is among the wealthiest states in the country and Bengaluru is the richest city in the country in terms of per capita income, Krishna’s role is significant. While SM Krishna will be remembered for his developmental role, his crisis handling skills and his contribution to modern Bengaluru, he will mostly be loved by Kannadigas for the decency and dignity with which he carried his public life - a value so rare in Indian politics. All his interviews, in both English and Kannada are a treat to watch for his command over the languages and the depth in which he addressed the subjects and importantly for the decency with which he addressed all, including his sharpest rivals. His dignified personal conduct won him many admirers across political divides - even traditional BJP voting families like mine were ardent supporters of Krishna. It was like homecoming when Krishna joined the BJP in 2019, inspired by PM Modi. An ardent connoisseur of arts, Mr. Krishna and his wife Prema were often spotted at the cultural and theatre circuit of Bengaluru. I have seen him and his wife at the Rama Seva Mandali Ramotsava music festival many times. He was in the mould of our Mysuru Maharajas who were not only great patrons of our classical arts, but were passionate connoisseurs themselves. A state’s cultural life gets enriched with such political leaders. Even a year ago, I met Mr. Krishna at a play where we both were guests and I got an opportunity to take his blessings. In many ways, SM Krishna deeply influenced me in my formative days as a young school boy aspiring to get into politics. From his dignified public conduct to his focus on industrialisation and urbanisation to his impeccable sartorial choices - his influence was immense. I was delighted when he joined the BJP just before the 2019 elections and even came to campaign for me. He was not in the best of health then, but despite that, he stood in the heat in the campaign vehicle for more than an hour and even indulged my selfie videos. His support meant a lot to me personally. As we bid farewell to him, those of us in public life must resolve to conduct our politics in his mould - dignified, accommodating, progressive and prosperity creating for our people. I appeal to CM Siddaramaiah and DCM DK Shivakumar to institute an award in Sri SM Krishna’s name to honour those who make a significant contribution to the development of Bengaluru - it will not only inspire many to work for our city but also keep the memory of an inspired life alive. As a proud Kannadiga and a Bengaluru boy, I thank Sri SM Krishna for everything. Go well, Sir.

SM Krishna: A personal tribute I woke up today to the news of the passing of Sri SM Krishna, one of the most progressive and visionary former Chief Minister of Karnataka. Though my personal interactions with him have been limited to a few interactions at public events, the loss seemed deeply personal. As I booked tickets to Bengaluru to pay my last respects to the great man, I realised how deeply I was inspired by him in a multitude of ways. Mr. Krishna was the CM of Karnataka when I was in school, when I was first forming my worldview of politics and public life. It was the days when I was contesting my school elections for Head Boy and was tasting action in democracy for the first time. Naturally, as CM, Krishna dominated the newspapers and TV channels and I would follow his interactions with great interest. Also, it was the time when Dr. Rajkumar was abducted by Veerappan and we would have school holidays declared regularly. Many school children of my age, we would watch news with curiosity to know if the CM would declare another holiday. In all those interviews, the CM’s poise, his weighted choice of words and his resoluteness impressed my young mind. This inspired me deeply and drew me to him. The more I followed him, as a young boy interested in politics, the more I wanted to model myself after him. Mr. Krishna was in many respects a leader ahead of his times. At a time when political leaders were deeply influenced by socialism to the point of opposing industrialisation and urbanisation, Krishna was a clear believer in free markets, industrialisation and the need for urbanisation to create mass level prosperity. It was under his leadership that Bengaluru emerged as the country’s IT capital, leveraging its unique educational and human resource capabilities. Most of the now big IT services firms of the country received immense policy support during Krishna’s time. Bengaluru also saw its infrastructure develop rapidly. From the metro to the flyovers to the ring roads to the work on the new airport - all received tremendous attention under SM Krishna. He clearly understood that cities are the engines of growth and prosperity and that they needed to be given the political and financial capital needed.

A for Almajiri Education is the foundation of any functioning economy, and Nigerians are some of the most intelligent people in other countries but with most out of school children on planet earth. As a basic human right, it is the responsibility of the whole society to not only advocate for modern curriculums that have practical and realistic value in sustaining the economy of that society in the future, but to hold their leaders accountable when they don’t invest the appropriate resources and relevance into education. This is the reason why Almajiri still exists today in 21st century, while religious education and modern education can be attained together using curriculums that are realistic and set a foundation for the future of the students and their society. Today, I taught my primary 2 students how to make a PPT using iPads. Giving presentations and using smart devices are now common in professional work places and it’s important that start giving my kids those skill sets at a young age. It will build their work ethic, confidence, realistic expectations in life and navigate them to seamlessly fit into any professional environment they find themselves in now and the future. An important teaching approach I use here is to show them less of how to do it, and just throw them into the situation to see how they can find their ways and create solutions. Only when they need help is when we show them how to do it. It makes them used to problem solving, resilience, less likely to be lazy and dependent. They themselves will be strong to initiate tackling an unknown problem and develop confidence and humility in asking for help or knowledge when they need it. Nigeria needs proper budget allocation for education and modern/designed curriculums that are useful to students and the country in the future. Vote for leaders who will enthusiastically execute these policies. If they don’t, impeach them and take any necessary action against them because they are not only destroying your economic future, but your children’s future as well. This is my idea. What must be done to fix education in Nigeria? Let’s hear from you in the comment section.

New episode on The Creative Genius of Rick Rubin This episode contains a nonstop stream of ideas directly from Rick about how to make great work over a long period of time: (01:00) Just one habit, at the top of any field, can be enough to give an edge over the competition. Wooden considered every aspect of the game where an issue might arise, and trained his players for each one. Repeatedly. Until they became habits. The goal was immaculate performance. Wooden often said the only person you’re ever competing against is yourself. The rest is out of your control. This way of thinking applies to the creative life just as well. For both the artist and the athlete, the details matter, whether the players recognize their importance or not. Good habits create good art. The way we do anything is the way we do everything. Treat each choice you make, each action you take, each word you speak with skillful care. The goal is to live your life in the service of art. (08:41) Faith allows you to trust the direction without needing to understand it. (10:16) If you make the choice of reading classic literature every day for a year, rather than reading the news, by the end of that time period you’ll have a more honed sensitivity for recognizing greatness from the books than from the media. This applies to every choice we make. Not just with art, but with the friends we choose, the conversations we have, even the thoughts we reflect on. All of these aspects affect our ability to distinguish good from very good, very good from great. They help us determine what’s worthy of our time and attention. Because there’s an endless amount of data available to us and we have a limited bandwidth to conserve, we might consider carefully curating the quality of what we allow in. The objective is not to learn to mimic greatness, but to calibrate our internal meter for greatness. So we can better make the thousands of choices that might ultimately lead to our own great work. (14:25) We’re affected by our surroundings, and finding the best environment to create a clear channel is personal and to be tested. (27:57) Rules direct us to average behaviors. If we’re aiming to create works that are exceptional, most rules don’t apply. Average is nothing to aspire to. The goal is not to fit in. Communicate your singular perspective. (28:30) It’s a healthy practice to approach our work with as few accepted rules, starting points, and limitations as possible. Often the standards in our chosen medium are so ubiquitous, we take them for granted. They are invisible and unquestioned. (29:00) The world isn’t waiting for more of the same. The most innovative ideas come from those who master the rules to such a degree that they can see past them or from those who never learned them at all. (38:50) Fear of criticism. Attachment to a commercial result. Competing with past work. Time and resource constraints. The aspiration of wanting to change the world. And any story beyond “I want to make the best thing I can make, whatever it is” are all undermining forces in the quest for greatness. (42:32) To hone your craft is to honor creation. By practicing to improve, you are fulfilling your ultimate purpose on this planet. A lot more ideas in this episode including: The importance of developing a practice of paying attention, why impatience is an argument with reality, why you need to create space in your schedule to tap into ideas in from your subconscious, why you'll find what you're searching for by looking deeper, the reason it is important to carefully curate the quality of what we allow in: people, ideas, content, why rereading the same books again and again can help you find new ideas, how to find the environment that allows you to produce your best work —and how other artists have done so, several examples of the people that are the best in the world at what they do being full of self-doubt —and yet they do it anyways, why adversity is unavoidable, if you want to make great work for a long time you can’t self-sabotage, why the goal is to keep playing (Rubin has been playing for 40+ years), how you can overcome insecurities by naming them, how you can doubt your way to excellence, why distraction is not procrastination and why distraction can be a strategy in service of the work, why if you're aiming to create works that are exceptional most rules don’t apply, the importance of communicating your singular perspective, and why if there is one rule on creativity that’s unbreakable it’s that the need for patience is ever-present.

Roman road Stepping Stones, prominent in cities like Pompeii, were ingenious solutions for urban life, allowing pedestrians to cross streets without stepping in rainwater, mud, and waste, acting as rudimentary crosswalks that also controlled cart traffic by forcing them to slow down, showcasing early Roman urban planning for cleanliness and safety. These large, raised stones, dating back to 2nd-1st Century BC, demonstrate how Romans managed frequent street flooding and refuse in cities lacking modern sewers, creating a functional system for both foot and wheeled traffic. With no advanced sewer systems, Roman streets were often filled with rainwater and waste; the stones kept feet clean and dry. Spaced to allow cart wheels to pass, they channeled vehicles and created designated pedestrian crossing zones, much like modern zebra crossings. Their widespread use reflects a practical approach to urban life, ensuring easier movement and managing environmental challenges. The stones in Pompeii provide tangible evidence of these daily life solutions, showcasing a clever adaptation to the environment.... Prior to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, and consequently being buried under volcanic ash, the ancient Roman city of Pompeii was a thriving place. The vibrant settlement played a critical role in trade; thus, its 15,000 inhabitants lived in impressively modern conditions for the era. When tourists visit the site today, they are able to see the preserved ruins of a well-planned city that accounted for its citizens' needs. This ancient innovation is particularly evident when looking at how roads were built in Pompeii. One of most noticeable features on the streets is the series of large raised stones placed in strategic locations. These prominent stepping stones acted as ancient crosswalks. Not only did they allow people to cross the street without touching the water and mud sitting on ground level, but they were also spaced wide enough so that carriage wheels could pass through without issue. Natural reflectors were also incorporated into some of the roads in the form of small white stones. These paler rocks were set among the larger slabs to help people find their way at night. The moon would reflect on the stones, creating enough light for people to be able to see. Drainage was also particularly important since most homes in Pompeii had no direct sewer connection. Refuse was washed into the street, making these stepping stones critical. Raised sidewalks with drainage also allowed people to move freely without putting their feet in sewage. The gaps between the stones were carefully designed to fit the width of chariot and cart wheels, forcing them to slow down and navigate carefully. These features highlight Roman ingenuity in balancing pedestrian needs, vehicle movement, and sanitation in their bustling cities. Innovations like these make Pompeii a fascinating place to visit and a wonderful example of ancient Roman urban planning. 🎥© sagalensfilms (IG) #archaeohistories
