Just a testimony of the infrastructure in the IT capital
by Sweet on Dec 12, 2007 07:49 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

It was just a few days back when Bengalurus were celebrating the 3rd highest number of millionaires in the country. But little do they know that they have invested in a city that can do little about its stability. Its government is unstable, roads are unstable, electricity is unstable, traffic is unstable, stray dog menace (remember 3 kids were killed by stray dogs a few months back), and now 3rd time a building has collapsed. On the whole Bangalore is also unstable, thats why they have changed its name to Bengaluru, but the biggest town of India still remains Unstable.

I see tell me one city that has world class infrastructure and world class living in India,
Mumbai and Kolkata are full of slums, Chennai has not water, Hyedarabad is full of muslim terrorists, Delhi the blueline capital and (R)ape capital, considering all that Bangalore is still the best

When Bangalore is unstable, other cities of India do not need to be World class to attract attention. All they need is to be Stable, starting from the Government till the infrastructure. And why do you alsways think of the extremes? I think Bangalore needs to be stable first than to think of world class infrastructures.

since for so many years only Bangalore offered high-paying jobs, all intelligent people had to come to Bangalore to advance in their careers and obviously this put tremendous strain on the infrastructure. For this Cental government has to be blamed, since they have not advertised other cities properly. Only now have we seen other cities also being aggressive in promoting their cities.

there has to be a point of reference for infrastructure what is it ? other cities for India or other cities of world. Political stability has nothing much to do with infrastructure, it has a lot of other factors. For example Bangalore was not one of the big 4 so it received a lot less funding and step motherly treatment from center all along and for a lot of years only Bangalore offered high-paying jobs in software jobs and the cosmopolitan culture, thank god atleast now other cities have high-paying jobs too, it is changing which is good for India I should say.

U said Political Stability has got nothing to do with infrastructure. May be you have to read the above article once again. Let me copy and paste for ur convenience...
"The Corporation tried to shift the blame on to the contractor of the building. The contractor, Ramaiah, had not handed over possession of the building to the Corporation after it was constructed. Instead, he had rented out the apartments illegally, according to the Corporation."

Now do you still believe it has nothing to do with political stability? Please think again.

obviously it has nothing to do with stability but only to do with contractor and corruption. Tell me one city where there are honest contractors and honest government officers,

Using fake names to play blame game shows your cowardness and guilty coniousness that your are not true to your heart what you ae speaking. What has number millionaires or the city's growth got to do with this incident. This has happened because of pure corrupted politicians and contractors, blame them not the city as it is in our public's hands whom we bring to power to see our city out of these problems. Rather than thinking what we can do we are just talking nonsense about the infrastructure, millionaires blah blah.. if ppl have invested in b'lore it is at thier risk and it is the same anywhere in the world.. if b'lore has 4th most number of millionaire's it shows it has grown economically due to public and not due to govt's efforts or govt' money...

Sometimes we gotta use fake names to tell some startling truth, it might be bitter to some people but I can't help it. Reality bites
