Deer in garbage at Military Mahadev Belgaum
4:08 PM Posted by ukmad
Photo is self explanatory; you can see the Deer amidst plastic waste searching for food. It must have eaten plastic and what will be its end result? The photo was taken by team AllAboutBelgaum at Military Mahadev, rear entrance yesterday 11-03-2009 at 5.45 pm. The plastic waste of Lassi packets is seen within the cage so someone from there only must have dumped it there and within the cage means the grazing area for the deer’s.
God Bless those Deer’s.

MES stand for Safforn Flag
11:41 AM Posted by ukmad
The MES will launch a protest against the same they said. The DC rejected the MES delegation plea stating that the High Court has directed that only the tri colour could flutter on the building. The flag will be hoisted or no will only come to know on 16th.
History of the Saffron Flag:
The government never cancelled that 1958 resolution so it was deemed as accepted. Unless there is a consensus, the saffron flag cannot be removed, it was said.

Bizarre way of Holi celebration on Deshmukh road
9:41 PM Posted by ukmad
The colorful Holi is over in major parts of the city. Shahpur will play on Sunday, Rangpanchami.
The most happening road, Deshmukh road has a bizarre way of celebrating holi, you must have seen the same in the video posted earlier on this blog.
Nothing was different today either, same old tearing of clothes and throwing them on the wires along the road.
See the photos take by Team AllaboutBelgaum which shows you the how bizarre the scene must have been in the morning. You can see clothes hanging on the wires along the road. In one picture you can see a middle aged man sitting down looking at these pieces of clothes lying on the road.I remember this to have started
when I was in college i.e. in 1994-95 period may it had started earlier but even then it was a bizarre scene and nothing has changed with time. 
Belgaum City Corporation will be shifted to new premises by 16
4:12 PM Posted by ukmad
The Belgaum City Corporation (BCC) commissioner has been directed, to shift BCC head office to the new building (Near SP office) and to hoist only national flag atop the new building by March 16, 2009.
CM, Yedurappa during the session period, inaugurated the BCC office. Even after the opening, still no work was being done from there.
For the people of Belgaum shifting is just another reason for their pending work not to be done. Now if you approach the corporation fro some work you will get an answer stating shifting is going on so once that is finished lets see. When shifting will be over, the files have not yet come or need to search and one more thing election time so our boss is on election duty so nothing can be done now.
Such answers will be heard in the days to come. What will Belgaum gain by shifting the BCC to the new premises is to be seen.

1956 postcard of Belgaum:motor body building
1:06 PM Posted by ukmad
The important part is the advertisement or is it the senders address no sure about that. But the truck body building industry is very famous in Belgaum but very little is known about it to the public at large. Still some of them exist on the side road now; on the NH4 towards Bangalore also a few are still there on Dharwad road.
The chassis are converted into truck bodies by use of wood normally sourced from neighboring areas.
I guess the Popular Motor body building works still exists, again not 100% sure about it.
I found this postcard for sale on Ebay.

Incase of ice cream this time in the city you can also taste Baskin Robbins at the Nucleus mall, elsewhere Aditya ice cream is the latest new comer with easy availability almost all over, there are those old brands like Dinshaws and Amul also.
See the gradual increase in the temperatures.

It is believed that after Holi if the rains come, they keep on coming in between till the monsoons. Let’s see Holi is a couple of days ahead and hope for the best.
See the forecast for the coming week, no sight of relief.
Sec. 49-O: A Big Myth Exploded: Elections Commissions reply
12:54 PM Posted by ukmad
Section 49-O of The Conduct of Elections Rules, 1961 this is the act in question.
providing for negative vote…” However, a voter may, under the provisions of Sec. 49-O, decide not to record his vote. The ECI also states that “there is no provision in the existing election law to conduct the election again” in any of the events speculated by people, and mentioned here above. . In short, all mails, articles and publicity about Sec. 49-O are proved a Big Hoax, beyond doubt. We request all responsible citizens to doubly check any e-mail, news article or information, before hitting forward or mentioning / publicizing the same to others.
