Shivaji Reaches Shivteerth after 14 hours
11:08 PM Posted by ukmad
At 11.10 pm the Shivaji Statute has reached Shivteerth. On the way the crowd along was with a lot of enthusiasm and joy. All the people en route were out of their houses from kids to old grandmas and grandpas to see the new Shivaji Statue. Fireworks on the way and dhol tasha and ancient stick arts were being performed before the Statute. The procession which began @ 8 pm now has reached its destination. Some snaps taken on congress road between 10.30 pm and 11pm.
Shivaji Still on his way
9:44 PM Posted by ukmad
Its 9.45 pm and the statue of Shivaji is till on its way to Shivteerth, Its now on Congress road, Near First Gate. This huge delay has been caused due to the immense enthusiasm of the people who are welcoming the statute in grand manner.
The statue will reach Shivteerth only after 11 pm. It must have been really a long journey for Shivaji.
Jai Bhavni Jai Shivaji

The Shivaji Statue to be installed at the Shivteerth, military Mahadev is now approaching the Shivteerth. While I am typing this Statue is now at Tilak Chowk. The crowd is getting bigger and bigger as the procession is going forward. Shivaji is getting a Welcome at all the street corners.
The procession, which began from Bogarves, will reach Shivteerth by the late afternoon via Shahpur Congress Road. The weather here has become very cloudy and the sun is playing hide and seek here. In all it’s a nice atmosphere to dance with the Dhol and tasha and say "Shivaji Maharaj ki Jai"

Taken from The HINDU:About 100 autos staged a dharna at the Deputy Commissioner’s office premises and also disrupted the traffic there.
They presented a memorandum stating that they need more time for getting their meters repaired as there is only one technician. They demanded at least 3 months time and also a hike in tariff.

Belgaum getting something Nice this new year
2:48 PM Posted by ukmad
This is no ordinary wall nor a wall of a Fort, its the wall on the ground next to Military Mahadev, which now holds the replicas of all the Shiva Kalin Forts. This is the outer wall of the same.
In this photo you can see the development work going on inside. In between the replicas of the various forts a new Bronze Statue of Shivaji Maharaj will be put up. The statue is estimated to cost Rs.51 lakhs. The MLIRC has contributed a few and taken care of building all the other infrastructiure needed. Whereas donations have been taken from the general public for the Shivaji Statue.In fact a few solar street lamps have been fitted already in the area to check the lighting. The Statue is expected to come in the coming weeks and this new year Belgaumites will have something very attractive to see at.
Nice Place to sleep

This is Bogarves (Dharnmveer Sambhaji Chowk).
The heart of the city. Where you can see a DOG taking a quite nap in the place where the traffic police should have stood and guided the traffic. May be the Dog knows no one will disturb it here............
Atlast Meter Down in Autos
10:26 AM Posted by ukmad
The meters in the autos have at last come down but they themselves and the public express doubt over the system. Still many passengers I saw were ready to bargain first and then only sit. Some of the autos still don't have the meter repaired as only one shop is there in Belgaum to repair the meter.
The drivers I spoke to told me that the present rate of Min.Rs.12 is not feasible as they willl have to spend Rs.500 for getting the meter repaired.
On the other when I spoke to commuters they told me that the present rates of Min.Rs. 12 and then Rs.6.50 per /km are very high. They said still minimum fare is OK but the per km rates are too high.
The success of the pre paid auto at the railway station is also not so so good. Commuters said we could bargain and sit and also accommodate 4 persons now only 3 can be accommodated. Also for example to go to Jadhav Nagar the used to take Rs.35 to Rs.40. But now the charge is Rs.63 see the difference.
Lets see till when this will continue.
Auto by Meter! Will it begin ?
9:54 AM Posted by ukmad
From today all the Auto will have to ply by meter, thats the rule which I hardly think will be implemented as many auots still dont have the meter and those which have are still not working.
