Robbing Peter to pay Paul

Today's editions of the newspapers say that the Government of Karnataka plans to divert a stream in the Western Ghats 'Ettinahole', towards the hinterland citing it is as a solution to the drinking water crisis faced by the districts of Bangalore Rural, Tumkur, Kolar, Chikballapur and Chitradurga. The project is being considered with utmost importance as it is also expected to meet the long term needs of Bangalore region as a whole, given that the city would not be able to draw any more water from the river Cauvery in a short while from now. Many irrigation experts seem to have suggested that the diversion of west flowing streams seem feasible to meet the future requirements of the capital and have prepared a report as well. Ettinahole is learned to be one of the major tributaries of the river Netravati, a prominent West flowing river in Karnataka which also caters to the drinking water needs of the largest coastal city in the state, Mangalore. Its catchment area compris...

  Bangalore is an ever-growing city. However, improving the connectivity to India’s Silicon City can help the governments diversify the cascading effect of the city’s economic growth, which also goes a long way in sustaining the growth. Therefore, upgrading some of the existing minor roads connecting Bangalore to certain other important places in the state into national highways can change the fate of the towns. One important road that can be upgraded into a national highway to promote further economic growth around Bangalore, as also other districts of Karnataka is the  Bangalore – Magadi – Huliyurdurga – Nagamangala – KR Pet – Somwarpet – Bisle – Subrahmanya – Mangalore road (SH 85).

New National Highways Required for Bangalore

Image
This blog post is about some of the roads connecting Bangalore, which I feel, should be developed as national highways by the Central Government/NHAI. The competent authorities in the government may or may not be thinking on the same lines. 1. Bangalore - Chintamani - Chelur - Kadiri - Nandyal - Atmakur Bangalore - Atmakur - Srisailam NH The highway should commence at Hoskote and continue towards Chintamani, which currently is SH 82. Hoskote, Pillagumpe, Nandagudi, and H-Cross are poised for industrial and residential development as they are a part of the Bangalore district. Kaiwara temples, Kaiwara National Park, the temples of Chintamani (Kailasagiri, Murugamalla, etc), would be along the way. From Chintamani, the highway would deviate towards Chelur (Bagepalli taluk), a border town. Chakavelu would be the last town within Karnataka. One visit to Kadiri, Nandyal, Ahobilam, and Srisailam would reveal the number of people from Karnataka visiting these temple towns. Merchants from T...
