"The SC had set six-weeks deadline to frame a “scheme” to implement the order. Though TN argued that by the word “scheme”, the SC meant complying with the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal’s award to set up the CMB, the Centre seems to be going with Karnataka’s argument that the SC order talks only about “a scheme” and not the river management board. “It is a matter of interpretation. The tribunal has recommended (a board). The SC doesn’t use the word Cauvery Management Board. It says a scheme,” said Union water resources secretary U P Singh. " | |

And discussing politics and arguing against one party/state or other is not in the spirit of TeamBHP rules/guidelines. Lets end such discussion. | |

| ![]() Had an annoying introduction to driving in Bangalore from TN. Cops were pulling over cars and seem to target out of state cars. I was travelling with 2 kids, wife and my mom. So he looked around for a while and finally said "Sunfilm. Fine of 300 Rs.". Since I was not aware of what the legality was and he started trying to peel it off, I politely agreed to pay and ask for a receipt. "Adjust. 200 Rs. " I again request Ed a receipt so I walked to the side with him and tried to converse with him. He then proceeded to print a receipt after taking details and said. "Rs. 500". He had charged me for using high beam, driving recklessly, arguing with policeman, using shrill horn, Sunfilm". I pointed out that he was lying and said I will pay only sinfilm fine of RS. 100. Since he refused to reply on English and kept saying Rs. 300. As there was a baby in my car, I paid him after getting the receipt and decided to get my money's worth by arguing with him about corruption in general and the wrong fines. He was visibly agitated but another TN registered BMW was approaching and he went on to stop it. Felt unfair, but I couldn't stand my ground. I've been using Uber for the weekend. Hope my return is uneventful. This was near electronic City. |

@BenjiRoss - you have the challan details so post your experience along with the challan details on the BTP facebook page (along with date, time etc). They should be able to identify which cop/team was on active duty that day. | ||

The cops arrived soon and brought the situation under control. The traffic jam subsided just as the kids finished their exams and started back home. It was the same situation inside Jnanabharathi campus too. | |

| ![]() The junction of Sarjapur road and Central Jail road has been dug up. Vehicles coming towards the city are not just unable to take the left turn; they also need to squeeze through one lane of space to cross the spot. In fact one lane of the carriageway going the other way was was opened up for city-bound traffic causing a snarl in that direction too. Looks like a bad Monday morning is coming up. Avoid the route if possible. A plus of this is that the last few hundred metres of Central Jail road was empty (usually that junction's pile-up reaches Play Arena on a Sunday evening). Traffic coming from the jail side could merge onto Sarjapur road quickly and easily since the direct traffic was having a terrible time negotiating the junction. :-) |

I'm not being judgmental here, the sunfilm ban was amongst the silliest bans in this country where a total driving population was affected due to a dozen crimes, it simply doesn't make sense even today. However once the law is in place be it against a Rs.1000/- note which was valid for ages or against a sunfilm which protects car occupants from harmful UV and IR rays, it shall always be a valid excuse for the law to act upon. Truthfully, the fine should be paid for sunfilm "violation", in full if a receipt is to be expected or whatever "adjustment" tip without receipt as is the norm in India. I'm no stickler for silly laws either and I make that very clear.. but no point dragging this worthless battle any further in social media where every post is dissected to no end. | ||

| ![]() ![]() Bangalore Traffic Police has collected a record breaking amount in fines last year. And like all corporates, they will have a higher target this year. While I'm against this racial profiling and targeting TN vehicles, I'm all for additional fines. I mean how does it look if you have to collect only Rs. 100/- from each vehicle. This spicing up of challans is a common occurrence. I think as responsible citizens, we should support our Traffic Police by voluntarily giving fines. Why only signal jumping, please charge me for driving with music on. |
