Read why there are no takers for this Bengaluru skywalk

However, residents staying close by and the school students of say they have not been benefitted by the overbridge, which was a result of a project drawn by Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) in 2008.The skywalk at the Palace Road-Sankey Road intersection was constructed at an estimated cost of `60 lakh, and inaugurated in 2010. However, only a handful of people use the footbridge, while hundreds of citizens use the stretch every day. "This skywalk is clearly unusable. It has nearly 120 steps to climb up and down, which indeed makes it difficult for children, especially if they are carrying school bags," Priya Chetty-Rajagopal, a resident of High Point Apartment on Palace Road, said. "The steps are also 9-inch high, making it worse.Because of these issues, most children take their life in their hands, and just cross the road. Senior citizens cannot even think of climbing it. In 2011, it was said that a lift will be installed, but it hasn't been made till date," she added. Students of Sophia's also admitted that most of them don't use the skywalk. "It is long, and we don't prefer it. It is better for us to walk and cross the road than to walk the long stretch.Many students just prefer to cross the road taking the help of traffic police personnel," a student said on condition of anonymity. Another student said, "It is difficult for us to climb so many steps. We take help from our seniors and cross the road." According to traffic expert Professor MN Srihari tough measures need to be taken in such situations. "We should suspend all the engineers of BBMP, since they are constructing skywalks where it is not even required. They claim that they are building it for pedestrians, but they choose places where advertisement hoardings are visible. The skywalks are expensive too. It is a sheer waste of money," he said.Chetty-Rajagopal also said the place comes under Zone A according to the advertisement by-law policy, which is considered a no-hoarding zone. "This is a no-hoarding zone but still many advertisements are put up.This skywalk is just used for displaying advertisements and nothing else," she added. CE tried contacting the BBMP officials multiple times, but they remained unreachable.

'Major milestone,' says ISRO chief as Chandrayan-2 makes it to lunar orbit

'Next major event would happen on September 2 when the lander would be separated from the orbiter. On September 3, we would have a small manoeuvre for about 3 seconds to ensure that the systems of the lander are running normally,' he added. Lunar Orbit Insertion (LOI) manoeuvre was completed successfully at 09:02 am as planned, using the onboard propulsion system, ISRO said in a statement. However, it was one of the tricky operations in the mission because if the satellite approached the Moon at a higher-than-expected velocity it would have bounced off into deep space. After successful insertion, ISRO would carry out four more orbit maneuvers (August 21, 28, 30 and September 1) to enter it into its final orbit. Subsequently, the Vikram lander would separate from the orbiter on September 2, 2019. '3 steps closer to Moon': ISRO after Chandrayaan 2's smooth third orbit raising Two orbit maneuvers would be performed on the lander before the initiation of powered descent to make a soft landing on the lunar surface on September 7, 2019, ISRO said. Chandrayaan-2, launched on July 22 by GSLV MkIII-M1 vehicle, had entered the Lunar Transfer Trajectory on August 14 after final orbit raising manoeuvre of the spacecraft was successfully carried out. ISRO keeps its date with moon, successfully launches Chandrayaan-2 This mission would shed light on a completely unexplored region of the Moon, its South Pole. Chandrayaan-2: Everything you need to know about India's Moon mission If successful, the mission will make India the fourth country to soft land a rover on the lunar surface after Russia, US and China. The last nation to attempt a soft landing on the Moon, Israel, failed in its earlier this year. ...

Father, son tune in together for a new album

"Ambi studied with me and has played and travelled with me. We have done some work together over the years, but haven't released it to the public. Both of us have been caught up with other projects which is why we haven't been able to. Post our live performance in Portugal when Ambi said, "Appa, we should release this multi-track as an album, I felt that it had come out well and thought we must go ahead with it," says Dr Subramaniam when we catch him ahead of his departure to the US for performances. It's been a proud moment for the renowned musician who says Ambi, who plays the violin, is taking his father, V Lakshminarayana's legacy ahead. "His roots lie in my father's style. He has his own interpretation and has added characteristics to it," says Dr Subramaniam, who is currently training and performing with his granddaughter Mahati Subramaniam -daughter of Bindu Subramaniam - who recorded her first solo song in 2018. The album from their recent joint performance in Portugal has songs with dark moods which differs from their previous tracks. According to the musicians, when it's a multi-track, it's possible to do a mix, and add characteristics to it - which is exactly what has been done with in this particular album. About the collaboration, Ambi says, "Live in Portugal is very special because it's the first Carnatic album my dad and I are releasing together in over a decade. It's been a long time since we had a chance to do a full album together and we're very excited to share this album with everyone."

Kerala paying the price for ignoring warning signals

While ministers and senior officials focused their energies on the Rebuild Kerala initiative, little attention was paid to measures to prevent a repeat of the situation-or even to the fact that the reconstruction had to be done keeping the sustainability factor in mind. Desilting of rivers and water bodies was not taken up, canals were not cleared of rubbish, encroachments were allowed to stay, and mining and quarrying were allowed to continue as usual. Kerala was at the forefront of opposition to the Gadgil Committee's report that recommended various measures to protect the Western Ghats, including imposing restrictions on mining and quarrying activities, preventing the use of forest land for non-forest purposes and regulating constructions. While that report never got implemented, the state has been resisting even the one that came later-a "more practical" Kasturirangan Committee report. The fact is that the current disaster is largely man-made. The state government's attempts to blame it entirely on rains show its unwillingness to admit its mistakes. Following the latest disaster, there's a fresh clamour for implementing the Gadgil report. Better late than never. The government must at least now show the courage to stand up to various lobbies and do whatever it takes to prevent further damage to the environment. Or else, it should be prepared to face even greater catastrophes. DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.

Pune: No water supply on Thursday as PMC undertakes repair work

The PMC had introduced water cuts in June after there was delay in arrival of monsoon. Complete supply was restored only after good rainfall in August. The water resource department had to release large quantity of water from all the four dams Khadakwasla, Panshet, Varasgaon and Temghar after they were filled to their capacity. The dams are now 100 per cent filled with total quantity of 29.15 TMC. DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.

A day after rain, residents of New Chandigarh area live in fear

'A bridge must be constructed on the road which connects Chandigarh-New Chandigarh-Kurali road. On Sunday, the causeway was not visible even due to high water level. In future the water could enter the housing complex,' Puri said. According to the district soil and water conservation department's report which was submitted to the Deputy Commissioner, the department mentioned that the area usually receives 10 to 20 mm rain but during the intervening night of August 17/18, the area received 91 mm rain from 11.30 pm on August 17 to 8.30 am on August 18. Rajwant Sharma, another resident of the area, said that the construction of the new and elevated roads has stopped the natural flow of seasonal rivulets which resulted in flash floods on Sunday. Naggal village, where the flash flood had caused the maximum damage on Sunday, is still cut off from the rest of the area. The sarpanch of the village, Jagdish Singh, told Chandigarh Newsline that the road leading to the village was totally damaged and they could not go out of the village. Speaking about the damage caused due to the flood, Jagdish said that a total of 25 cattle head were washed away and on Monday they found 10 cattle head were dead while 15 were still missing. 'Two tractors and a pick-up vehicle were also washed away in the water currents. The tractors were recovered but they were damaged,' Jagdish told Chandigarh Newsline. Jagdish said that on Monday the students could not go to schools as the road was damaged. He also said that the senior officers, including Deputy Commissioner Girish Dayalan, visited the area but the relief works were yet to be done. Jagdish said, 'The entire village is keeping a vigil. We are also keeping an eye on the dam as in case of rain, there could again be a situation like flash flood.' DC Girish Dayalan told Chandigarh Newsline that they were keeping an eye on the check dams in the area. The area has a maximum of 15 check dams in the district which were constructed to stop the natural flow of seasonal rivulets to create water reservoirs.
