Karnataka Assembly Rewind-1 The first house of the country

Karnataka Assembly Rewind-1 The first house of the country

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್

For the first time in the country, a state house was formed in Karnataka. But then Mysore was a state. Maharaja Chamarajendra Wodeyar of Mysore had formed the Government House (Assembly) and issued an order on August 25, 1881, with the intention that the citizens should participate in the policy making of the government. In March 1881, Maharaja Chamarajendra Wodeyar assumed the power of Mysore State. Before this transfer of power, in 1879, the then Chief Commissioner of Mysore, J.D. Gordon proposed to the British-Indian Government that a debating assembly should be formed of retired officers, representatives of various classes and peoples. However, without specific legislative, financial or administrative powers, the creation of a debating house was not consented to. Also, the Viceroy was also of the opinion that it was not right to introduce something like this as no such organization had been attempted till now.

However, Maharaja Chamarajendra Wodeyar created the country's first State Assembly within five months of assuming office. It has the distinction of being the first house not only for the state but also in the country. This House was formed with the objective of adopting important measures in governance with the opinion of the people. This made it mandatory for the government to submit its policies and objectives to the public. Representatives of landowners and traders from all parts of the state could participate in this annual meeting.

The first 'House of Representatives' was held on 7th October 1881. It became the first house of the country. Its representatives were elected in three ways. One- Local Fund Boards and their District Representatives. Two- one or two from each taluk covering all general information between people. Three- Three or four leading traders from each district. These representatives had to participate voluntarily.

Election Asphalt: How long will stay?

Work that did not happen when people asked; now overnight roads ready

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್‌

Bengaluru: The mess of the roads in the capital Bangalore, potholes, silt in the drains, water coming out, lack of safety on the drains. However, during the election, asphalt is laid to make people feel better. People's question is why such speedy work is not done on normal days.

In the city, this is a picture seen on every election occasion. There is a lot of objection among citizens about this. In the last ten years, about ₹25,000 crore has been spent on projects including 13,000 km of roads, footpaths and drains in the city. However, as soon as there is a rain, there are potholes.

People faced a lot of problems in the city last year due to rain and potholes. If water enters the houses due to heavy rain, the roads become waterlogged and create potholes, causing accidents. There were also deaths and injuries. On that occasion, citizens demanded BBMP to repair the road. "No work will be done until the rain ends," said the engineers. People drove the traffic avoiding the potholes.

The road has been damaged, traffic is not possible. We have been requesting for three or four months that there are too many potholes and that they should be repaired. But nothing worked. As the assembly election is near, the road that we didn't ask for has been paved. When I slept at night, the road was damaged, when I woke up in the morning, I saw asphalt. It works so fast. But when we asked why they did not repair it," asked Rajarajeshwari Nagar Srinivas.

Whatever the citizens ask, BBMP says no money. But, only during the election, there will be money for all kinds of work and work will be done quickly. It is our hope that this road will be asphalted till the elections are over. Because, it has already started raining. There is also an example of the asphalt road being torn away. Do you want this kind of work? Why are you spending people's money like this' asked Chandrappa of Vijayanagar.

Engineers do not even have the minimum knowledge that work should be carried out so that water does not stand on the road. There is no height in the middle and water stands on the road and the asphalt is torn away by a single rain. Is it necessary to give in to the pressure of people's representatives and do such work overnight? If quality work is done, people will be happy for years. They feel they don't need this,' said Ananda from Mahadevpur

Temporary emergency care

If you smell soil, it is the beginning of rainy season. As the saying goes, if you smell asphalt, it means elections are coming, the roads of the city have been temporarily beautified during the assembly elections. The potholes tell the road quality as soon as it starts raining. Road works are waiting to fill the pockets as soon as the election is invested and elected. BWSSB, BESCOMs are waiting for asphalting of the road. It's like they're all under contract. All of them are digging and coming as the BBMP is making the road. Even for laying asphalt, he has taken money. However, he left it. Again they put asphalt on the road and make money for that too. As per this sub-contract, such processes will continue to take place every six months, annually. Lack of coordination between departments is the root cause of cost overruns.

Gowdaiah, Secretary, Jnanabharati Aeronautics Association

Problem with technology implementation

Road builders are graduate engineers. They know all the technology while learning. It does not show in actual work. There is a problem with technology implementation. I don't know what pressure is on him. According to the Indian Road Congress (IRC), all norms must be followed. However, the specified grade of Bitumen is not used in a specific amount ie 5.5%. The required 145 degree to 165 degree temperature will also not there. This prevents the gravel from sticking to the sand and becoming stronger. Rain does stop on the road. Thus, due to poor workmanship, roads that should last for four years get damaged in a couple of years. It is also suspected that this is done to spend more money or to pave the road more often. It is an open truth that not everything is in the hands of engineers.

ಕರಗದ ತಾಣ ಕರಗಿದಾಗ...

ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್‌

ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಕರಗ... ವಿಶ್ವ ಪ್ರಸಿದ್ಧ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಕರಗ ಯಾರಿಗೆ ಗೊತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ ಹೇಳಿ. ಶತಮಾನಗಳ ಇತಿಹಾಸ ಹೊಂದಿರುವ ಈ ಕರಗಕ್ಕೆ ಸಾಟಿಯೇ ಇಲ್ಲ. ಆದರೆ,  ಕಾಲದಿಂದ ಕಾಲಕ್ಕೆ ಕರಗದ ಆಚರಣಾ ತಾಣಗಳು ಕರಗುತ್ತಲೇ ಬರುತ್ತಿವೆ. ಅದರಲ್ಲೂ, ಶಕ್ತಿದೇವತೆ ದ್ರೌಪದಿಯನ್ನು ಆಹ್ವಾನಿಸುವ ಜಲಮೂಲಗಳು ತಮ್ಮ ಹಿಂದಿನ ಅಸ್ತಿತ್ವವನ್ನೇ ಕಳೆದುಕೊಂಡಿರುವುದು ದುರಂತ.

ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಕರಗಕ್ಕೂ ಜಲಮೂಲಗಳಿಗೂ ಅವಿನಾಭಾವ ಸಂಬಂಧ. ಕರಗ ಆರಂಭವಾಗಬೇಕಾದರೆ ಪ್ರಥಮ ಪೂಜೆ ಆಗಬೇಕಿರುವುದೇ ಕೆರೆಯಲ್ಲಿ. ಹೂವಿನ ಕರಗದ ಹಿಂದಿನ 8 ದಿನಗಳು ನಗರದ ಎಂಟು ದಿಕ್ಕುಗಳಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಕೆರೆ–ಕಲ್ಯಾಣಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಪ್ರಥಮಪೂಜೆಯಾಗುವ ಸಂಪ್ರದಾಯವಿದೆ. ಇವುಗಳನ್ನು ತೀರ್ಥ ಸ್ನಾನಘಟ್ಟಗಳು ಎಂದು ಕರೆಯುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಆದರೆ, ಇಂದು  ಸ್ನಾನಘಟ್ಟಗಳೇ ಇಲ್ಲದಂತಾಗಿವೆ.

When Karaga spot melts...

Bengaluru Karaga... Tell me who doesn't know the world famous  Bengaluru Karaga. With centuries of history, there is no match for this melt. However, from time to time the undissolved ritual sites continue to dissolve. In particular, it is a tragedy that the water bodies that invoke the goddess of power, Draupadi, have lost their former existence.

Bangalore is inextricably linked with water sources. The first pooja must be done in the lake for the melting to begin. There is a tradition of offering first pooja to Kere-Kalyanis located in the eight directions of the city 8 days before the flowers melt. These are called Tirtha Sannaghattas. However, today there are no bathhouses.

Sampangi lake or Sampangi tank is situated to the northeast of Dharmaraya temple. It is an insoluble Shaktipeeth. It is from this lake that Draupadi, the goddess of power, is invited and brought to the temple. The raw unmelted origin takes place in the Shaktipeeth in the Sampangi tank. This Sampangi tank, which was vast, is now in a condition that is not even Kalyani. Perhaps, the decline of lakes in Bangalore, the city of a thousand lakes, seems to have started from this lake. When the British were ruling us, they first poured mud into this Sampangi tank to play with. The vast Sampangi tank was losing its scope since then. By the time it finally became Kantheerava Stadium, it remained only as an insoluble Shaktipeeth.

Other statuses that do not dissolve are; Kalyani of Muneswara Temple near Lalbagh, Kalyani of Mariswami Mutt at Kalasipalya, well at Annamma Temple, the city goddess on the banks of the then Dharmambudhi at Majestic. Karagada Kunte or salt water rake at Cubbon Park is a witness to the first religious rituals of Bengaluru Karaga. Kalyani at Jalkantheshwara temple in Gavipura Guttahalli, Yechusuthina fort where BBMP headquarters is located.

Have seen and heard his words. There is no one who doesn't fall for Bengaluru Karaga. It is the prestige of a city. integration togetherness However, siliconcity has failed to retain such insoluble source sites.

Karaga and Annamma Kalasapraya of Bangalore city. One is Shakti Goddess, the other is City Goddess. Both of them were on the banks of lakes. One is Dharmambudhi Lake and the other is Sampangi Tank. Both these lakes do not exist today. In the near future, if we don't save even the extinct ones, we have to show them all on the screen... Shouldn't it be like that? Let's keep what we have.

Undissolved soil in Hoskarehalli lake

BBMP promise unfulfilled for three days; Local outrage

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್‌

Bengaluru: Local people and environmentalists expressed their displeasure as special commissioner Ravindra's promise that the mud spilled in Hoskerehalli Lake was not fulfilled even after three days.

Members of Citizens for Hosakerehalli Lake, Jhatkaa.org and The Indian Ploggers' Army had fought for Hoskerehalli lake that it should be cleared. Responding to this, Ravindra, Special Commissioner of Planning Department of BBMP, visited the place on March 23.

Road is not being built in the lake. Changing the sewer water flow path. For this, mud has been poured to facilitate the movement of lorries and vehicles. He assured the locals that it would be cleared. But on Sunday when we all went to the lake, work was being done by JCBs in the lake as usual. The soil was not removed. The members of the organization complained that when they tried to contact the BBMP officials, no one responded.

A tender has been floated for the development of Hosakere Halli Lake at a cost of ₹9 crore. However, the works have started without this tender work being started. It is said that money will be spent on silt removal now. However, the silt was removed in 2017 by BDA. BBMP engineers have no information about this. Now again they are spending crores for the same work. Srinivas, a local, alleged that all this is a way of looting money.

If you ask the executive engineer who called the tender to inform you about the new tender and give a detailed project report (DPR) of the work you are undertaking, he says that there is no DPR. Tender cannot be called without DPR. Hence it is a violation of tender rules. He demanded that action should be taken against them.

Clearance is done only after completion of work

'Work is being done on one side to make the retaining wall. On the other hand, work is being done to divert sewage water from the solid waste management department under the Shubhra Bangalore project. For this, earth is being poured temporarily and 'ramp' is being made. It will cost ₹10 crore and the work will be done for a few months. Clearance is done only after completion of work. The lake will be fully protected," said Ravindra, Special Commissioner of BBMP Planning Department.

Sewage, soil to Bhimanakatta

Rajarajeshwarinagar Bheemanakatte lake sewage and soil-stone are being poured into Hoskere village. The members of the Bhimanakatte lake protection group complained that they appealed to the BBMP officials and MLAs in this regard but to no avail.

It was requested to remove the silt of the lake and increase the storage capacity. Didn't do that either. Now the sewage water is flowing into the lake from above. This has been requested to be stopped. But, BBMP, BWSSB officials are not responding,' said Balaga K.A. Shiva Gowda said.

If there is any other development in the area surrounding the lake, it will block the flow of water to the Bhimanakatte lake. Therefore, appropriate action should be taken in this regard,' he said.

An unresponsive engineer

In Rajarajeshwari Nagar zone, Hoskarehalli Lake, Bheemanakatte, Mallattahalli, Halagevaderahalli, Kenchenahalli lakes are being developed against the environment and the soil filling is being done. Local residents and lake conservation activists have complained that Shilpa, the engineer of the lakes department of this zone, does not give any information to the citizens.

Shilpa does not give information to the chief engineer either. He is the reason for all the shortcomings in the development of lakes. Rajasekhar alleged that everything is happening as per his wish. Shilpa did not respond to this.

Measured increase in Rajakaluve encroachment

In the east there was still more Rajakaluve encroachment; BBMP, district administration not taking action

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್‌

Bengaluru: The removal of encroachment in the Rajakaluve, which caused the pre-submergence, is not going on at the expected level. However, encroachment alone is increasing as measured. It has been revealed that more than 26 acres of Rajkaluve is encroached upon in Three Hobli of Bengaluru East Taluk.

Most of the areas in the eastern taluk of the city were submerged due to heavy rains last September. On that occasion, BBMP had said that it would vacate many types of encroachments. After a few days of encroachment clearance, everything cooled down. However, identifying the encroachment and documenting its extent was completed in January. According to the records of revenue departments, encroachment has been found in more than 90 cases in this taluk.

East Taluk Varthur, Bidrahalli, K.R. Revenue Department has registered new cases of Rajakaluve encroachment in Pura Hobli. Encroachments were found when the Rajakaluve were measured and surveyed as per revenue records. All these have been identified and all the processes have been completed and placed under the order of Tahsildar.

After the rains stopped and the water flow to the House and Layouts is decreased, the clearing operation of Rajakaluve encroachment slowed down. BBMP Chief Commissioner Tushar Girinath has been giving deadlines since January that he will carry out the eviction operation once all the orders are received. But nothing is working.

Area unmarked in many places: It has been stated in the survey report that the 'Canal' has been encroached upon by the tenants in Survey number 112, 114. However, the area is not recorded. Similarly, Karimamma's Agrahara survey no. 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22 are recorded as encroachment by tenants.

Survey no. 129/1 between 129 and 130 it is recorded that the building was constructed in the pit. Survey no. 34, 121, 122 only recorded that there is a road. Locals alleged that the surveyors gave in to the pressure of the influential and abandoned some encroachments.

• Water, water, water… everyone needs water. When there is no water its devastating, when there is water, usage is irresponsible. Amidst this irony, there are practitioners who have made water conservation their daily routine. Do you know?
• Lots of people plants, pose to lot for photos too. But ignored nurturing. In these scenarios, there are people who committed to nature. They fight to save plants and trees. Those don't come to limelight...
• Who built the Dharmambudhi lake that used to provide drinking water to Bengaluru, now it is a bus stand?
• Tell me, who doesn't know Bengaluru Karaga? But the original place which caused the creation of this is not seen today. Do you know that place?
• Hundreds of crores have been spent on the development of Bangalore lakes. But, all that is in it is dirty water. So, where did all these hundreds of crores go?
• What have they done for environmental protection?
• There is no water bill in his house.. Do you know why?

Let’s know all this from Green Talk.
