Thread of threads 🧵 We follow a lot of topics important to Mahadevapura and Bengaluru. For many of them, we do threads, to keep track of milestones and updates. They also provide an archive of promises made, very few kept, and most we are still pining for. And then some. Here it goes.

Deforestation fuels deadly heatwaves. Without trees we lose shade + evaporative cooling (dropping local temps 2-8°C). Boosting urban tree cover to 30% could prevent ~1/3 of heat-related deaths. Trees save lives.

Karnataka takes first-step in privatisation of power distribution with Tata Power. It has applied for distribution licence across 4 GESCOM, 6 BESCOM, 3 MESCOM & 3 CESC districts in their application to KERC. The public notices have called for suggestions & objections.

While this ad pertains to the area covered by #Bescom, similar ads have been placed by #TataPower for all of #Karnataka covered by the 4 other state-run discoms too. While welcoming the overall direction, I'd have thought it would be better to have 5 different players for the 5 different regions, and the companies structured along the lines of the most successful & equitable Delhi PPP model -> praja.in/en/blog/murali… - @CMofKarnataka 🙏

🚨Just take a look at the shocking picture. - 2024 BBMP Feasibility Report plagiarised from 2020 BMRCL Report. - Brand Bengaluru mobility projects conceived on old data with no context. Officials are taking politicians/citizens for a ride. How do we remedy this, Bengaluru?

#Bengaluru: Where exactly is the road? Just 15 minutes of rain and #Bannerghatta Road (near Hulimavu Gate) turned into a waterlogged nightmare. Motorists were left guessing where the road ended and where the drains began. (📹 by TOI Supriya Roy)

The DPR for extending Namma Metro from Bengaluru to Tumakuru states the project becomes financially “viable” only if 133 acres of public land are handed over for commercial real estate development. Public transport must serve mobility, not property monetisation at public cost⚠️

Bangalore Metro Updates
Cut the trees, dump mud and gravel, and slowly erase the water body. That’s how LAKES are converted into LAND through encroachment carried out in broad daylight. Zoom in closely, and you can spot three security guards sitting under the small tree. #SavePattandurAgraharaLake
