A Road is built in a day.. & the very next day.. water supply or power supply team starts diggin it up.. ! The core problem lies in d fact dat.. BMC assigns dis work to d lowest tender to save some.. ! In Fact.. “ Low Cost Roads= Low Quality !” We r considering an option of helding F1 Race here..

    For every problem caused by urbanisation there is an effective solution

    As a result of an increased population inhabiting one area, traffic congestion is often a major issue resulting from urbanisation. In London, traffic is evidently a problem. As it would be expected from a capital city home to more than 8 million people, alongside the 30 million visitors received per year, the London road network is often under tremendous strain. Despite London’s extensive public transport facilities, many still choose to drive their own vehicles around the city. In Mumbai, the road network suffers a similar strain, unable to cope with the millions it carries each day, it suffers from increased journey times, congestion, and air pollution. In London, park and ride schemes, cycle lanes, congestion charging schemes and low emission zones have been introduced to combat the traffic. In terms of its success, an example of immediate impact was the introduction of the congestion charge, reducing the amount of traffic in the heart of the capital by about 15 per cent. However, according to TFL, the reduction has not been sustained. In Mumbai, people have tried using alternative vehicles such as mopeds and scooters, and whilst this helps them to dodge traffic jams, it has only contributed more to the poor air quality caused by emissions. Ultimately, it is clear that not all solutions are effective, but in a wealthier country like the UK, there is a much higher chance of success due to the funding fuelled into these schemes; with time, the schemes may…

    Development Related Issues in Mumbai

    Abustling, vibrant city that 16 million people call home, Mumbai is the commercial capital of India. An old city surrounded on three sides by sea and a beautiful coastline, early Mumbai was developed in the south. Over the years, though, unprecedented growth in the economy of the city has created a massive expansion of land use on the northern side. Today, the city is bursting at the seams owing to the influx of migrants. The result: an overpopulated city with an unbearable load on a crumbling infrastructure and pressure on every available open space. Awkward and incremental planning has only compounded problems. The situation is untenable. And in consonance with guidelines and suggestions of various government policies, judicial comments and expert opinion…

    We conceptualised the campaign to make cycling and other forms of non-motorised transport mainstream again, to effect a dramatic increase in the usage of cycling and walking for commuting, shopping and leisure, and to promote cycling as a green, healthy and safe alternative to motor vehicles. At the same time the campaign aims to provide our government partners with thepublic support and impetus needed to create an enablingenvironment for cyclists and pedestrians through the planning and development of cycle lanes, footpaths, safe, people-friendly roads, cycle rental schemes, city-wide cycle parking stands and so on. For example, the Transport Minister of Karnataka, Shri Ramalinga Reddy after attending November's Cycle Day announced an initiative to install cycle rentals at all TTMC's in the city. The DULT, acknowledging issues with existing cycling lanes, has also recently announced completion of detailed project reports for dedicated cycling lanes in Madiwala, HSR Layout, Koramangala, RT Nagar and Indiranagar.…

    Rural Road Case Study

    Nepal is a mountainous country with area 147181 sq.km, population 26,494,504 (2011 census) & per capita nominal GDP $837 per year. About 81 % of total population lives in rural areas in this country. There are 53310 km rural roads in total in Nepal among them 38940 km earthen, 12513 km graveled and 1857 km blacktopped. Still, 368 VDCs (Village Development Committees: local institutions) among 3157 VDCs of Nepal aren't connected by roads. Among these roads, about 27% are all -weathered, additional 18% are fair weathered and remaining 55% impassable to vehicles due to the bad condition of the roads (DoLIDAR, DoLIDAR Bulletin Issue no 15, Volume No 13, August, 2016). Nepal is a disaster prone country. Therefore, a balanced approach to economic, social and environmental aspects is very important for the development of rural roads in this…

    Capricious traffic police

    A few days ago, while I was returning to Dhaka from Comilla, one of my friends called me in my mobile and wanted to know where I was. Right on that time I was in Kaanchpur Bridge. I told him that I was in Comilla. The thing is that was not untrue in the sense that it took 4 hours to reach Jatrabari, a time more than enough to reach Dhaka from Comilla. I knew this would happen and the confidence stemmed from the constant and horrible national Jatrabari gridlock. Gulistan-Jatrabari 10 kilometre flyover construction has not been completed yet which was supposed to end in December, 2012. This giant construction narrowed the passage for vehicles. Besides, the traffic police are also reckless in their duties and are completely failing to handle this gridlock. They make it even worse by letting the vehicles move disorderly.…

    At present more than 20 lac vehicles have been registered in Mumbai alone. Besides these, maximum vehicles registered in Thane division are being used in Mumbai city. The population of Mumbai is more than 1.24 crore besides additional fluctuating population of 30 lac. Taking into consideration high volume of vehicles and density of population/pedestrian, manual enforcement is becoming difficult day by day. As such migration to technology driven, evidence based enforcement as a deterrent to committing violations is necessary. Eagle eye technology across major junctions will help to record violations and generate tickets/fines and receipts automatically.  In this case the violators are not require to be stopped in the middle of the road avoiding any inconvenience to the road users. This also eliminate physical interaction between Police and violator. Fines can be paid over internet or at chowkies. High resolution enforcement cameras and central server with a capability to interpret the number plates  will help to capture the pictures of vehicles over speeding or jumping signals and to generate fine receipts.  …
