Sanchayni Circle: Darkness all through

6:08 PM Posted by ukmad

The Sanchayni Circle (Police Qtrs Maruti Circle) in camp is in darkness. This is a important circle enroute to Bogarves just 100 mtrs from Bogarves.

The circle is not illuminated for years. There is no traffic island in the center, which causes minor accidents all the time. To add to these hardships the road round the corner from Bogarves to Khanapur road has some innumerable potholes of all sizes and depths. This VDO is taken from the same spot. What is visible (other than in the headlights) is DARK reality.

In my 30 years, I have never seen a street lamp in this circle nor a Himast lamps as put all over Belgaum, just see the one in Bogarves just 100 mtrs away.

The cantonment should look into this matter at the earliest and install Himast Street lamps at this circle so that riding at night would be come easier.

Your thoughts on this …

The Mumbai-Karnataka region that's seen fierce border dispute for the last 50 years, votes in the third phase of polls on Thursday.

It’s been the war cry of the Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti (MES) in Belgaum for five decades - MES candidates like Manohar Kinekar have been winning local body and Assembly elections on just one issue that they'll fight to make Belgaum a part of Maharashtra.
MES candidate Manohar Kinekar said, “When the border issue is solved all other problems are solved too because we'll participate better in governance and we can solve the problem in better way.”
But this time the MES has to contend with its own rebels in 3 of 5 Assembly seats. After being denied tickets, leaders like Shivaji Sunthkar, have decided to stand independently.
Sunthkar said, “People are out on the streets saying their favourite candidate has been sidelined by the party and so they want me to fight as an independent.”

Its this in-fighting in MES that Congress and BJP are banking on. They are seeking votes on the development plank.
And 50 years after re-organisation of States, that's the election issue for the aam aadmi too.
The language issue is certainly an emotional one, but you can't live on it. Be it the Marathi manus or the Kannada manava, the basics of roti, kapda and makaan are more important.
And that's could well help parties other than the MES in gaining ground.

Six-year-old Aniket Chindak eyes 100-car limbo-skate world record

12:47 PM Posted by ukmad


A six-year-old boy, Aniket Chindak is hoping to enter the record books after limbo-skating under 57 cars in less than a minute.
Aniket has already created an unofficial world record by squeezing himself under a row of 57 four-wheel drive cars in 45 seconds.
With legs split, chest bent forward and chin almost skimming along the road, Aniket is no more than eight inches above the ground when he vanishes under the vehicles in Belgaum.


The wonder-kid, who started skating when he was 18-months-old, is now training for four hours a day and plans to break his world record of 57 cars with a 100-car skate in New Delhi.
