No permission to MES to hold Maha Melava
4:47 PM Posted by ukmad
No permission has been given to MES to hold the session. The MES had planned to invite Maharashtra deputy CM Chagan Bhujbal and Raj Thackrey on January 16 for the Maha Melava as a parallel session to the legislative session to begin on the same day.
"MES is playing with the sentiments of Kannadigas and Marathis. But we will not get in their way. We'll intervene if they create law and order problems," Yeddyurappa said.
The material brought by the MES for the said Melva was confiscated by the police.

Farmers ready to give land for Suvarna Vidhan Soudha
10:49 AM Posted by ukmad
Halga-Bastwad, the place where the Suvarna Vidhan Soudha will be built on 112 acres, the farmers have at last given their nod for acquiring their land but at a price not less than Rs. 13.5 lakh an acre.
Government has proposed to acquire more than 100 acres of land in Survey Number 63 of Halga-Bastwad villages on Pune-Bangalore National Highway No 4 about 12 km from the city to build the Suvarna Vidhana Soudha.
The land with black cotton soil is under agriculture/horticulture.
The Government had agreed to pay a compensation of Rs. 12 lakh an acre, the farmers sought at least Rs. 15 lakh an acre as they would not get alternative land at the same price. Also, many growers would lose their only source of income. The Government would distribute compensation amount within two weeks of acquiring their land.

Joy Bank starts its joy ride
4:20 PM Posted by ukmad
To make someone else happy is the best one can do.
I had posted about Joy Bank on this blog, and many of my readers have joined the joy bank. When I posted the story there were about 28 members and now the number just touched 40.
Gouree Deshapnde’s Joy bank has just accomplished their first task for spreading happiness.
The Joy bank members went to the Shantai Vrdushram in the evening at 5pm, they had planned it in the morning but as all the Grandpas and Grandmas were taken to KLE for a health check up, they went to see them in the evening.
There was enormous joy on those old faces when they saw the members come. The manager Mr.Nagesh Cougule welcomed the members and familiarized them with the whole ashram.
The actual program was commenced with a prayer to the Almighty and a small introduction of the Joy bank was given to the inmates with the names who all donated for the event. Food was given to the cooking staff and the members then handed over the shirts and saris to the inmates.
It was 7.30pm and the members of
the joy bank decided to take leave of the ashram.As Gouree told this blog, “Our heart was full of delight when we saw the happiness in their eyes, Let us all pray God to make our hands so strong that we can reach all the needy who need us always...”
May God Bless you all.
Bizarre traffic lights: How do we follow them, if we have to?
4:48 PM Posted by ukmad
The photos say it all. I need not mention anything more, do I.
These are traffic lights at the Globe Circle.
These traffic lights have not been officially opened even after being installed for over a year now and hence they themselves have started to work but not the correct way I guess.
The complete city is getting a overhaul, the traffic lights in bogarves which have been shut for years together are being repaired, but who will look at these traffic lights which are functioning on their own.

In the first photo to locate the signal is only very difficult in those branches of the trees.In the first photo to locate the signal is only very difficult in those branches of the trees.

Petrol No Stock: Hard times ahead in Belgaum
10:16 PM Posted by ukmad
The effects of the strike by 50000 employees of the various oil companies are now visible all over the country Belgaum is no surprise either.
The stock of petrol has not come out from the oil depots and hence form today afternoon, a few since the morning had closed down the petrol pumps, and by night, the scene was very bad. Long queues were seen outside the pumps but no petrol was there.
Things will be bad tomorrow as people who had fuels today and who said lets fill it tomorrow, hope you get fuel.
The govt. is not taking any steps in getting away with the strike. If the govt, does not act in time and the strike is not called of all will be in trouble. The trucker’s strike is already hitting the pockets again due to shortage.
Come on Govt. Do something for the common person, Murali Deoraji, now do not sleep come and take off this strike do something, work at least this time.
