In 2011 Under the guidance of Deputy Commissioner Ekroop Caur a floating cafeteria was launched at the fort lake.

a new multi-storey floating open restaurant on lake water is proposed and most probably the work would be taken up under the Smart city plan.
The floating restaurant will be a modular floating restaurant will have space to keep 10 tables along with wash rooms for gents and ladies, a mini pantry place, clean water storage and drainage system.

Going to school with Stunt men – the Autos

by Sameer Majli and others
These skilled stunt men, like many others in town, managed to grab my irritation. 
The image does not show the fact that the driver had three children with him in the front.

auto-school-kids-belagavi
Children stuffed in an auto in Belagavi


One uniformed little girl sitting to his right, a little kid in between his legs and another to his left. 
See the other photo the boy can be easily hit on a narrow road such as the railway over bridge where the said photo has been taken.

Children stuffed in an auto in Belagavi
Such sights are common on the streets of Belagavi and I guess many other places.

What kind of parents send kids to school with this stunt men??!!!!

The overflowing auto with bags dangling on both sides is a threatening sight. The auto is also amongst the most unbalanced vehicles that I know or perceive. One hit from a side is enough to topple the contents. One auto could even climb the over bridge in first gear, it had a hard time and at one moment I thought the kids would get down and give it a push.

While we are talking about helmets and traffic rules as a compulsion, why doesn’t anyone say or do anything about these occurrences?

At the same time forget the drivers, What about the parents who hire these stunt men and their services. Is it really worth the risk? Most if not all of them are the so called well educated folks.
Are we just waiting for an obvious mishap? Should it be so that only death will spur us to action?
