Udupi, Jan 24: Prakash Javadekar, Union Minister for Human Resources Development, has predicted that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would win all seats of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts and come to power in Karnataka with a two-thirds majority.

Addressing a meeting of the heads of various units of the BJP here on Tuesday, he said that the people were fed up with the four-and-a-half years rule of the Congress in the State. The Congress had got associated with corruption, hypocrisy and family. It was only the BJP which could give good governance in the State under the leadership of the former Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa.

He said, the BJP already had 19 States under its rule in the country. The only big State under the Congress was Karnataka. People were impressed by the leadership provided by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the country. It was Mr. Modi who had given an impetus to the economy of the country.

He said that during the Congress rule, the transfer of IAS and IPS officers had become routine. The latest was that of the transfer of the Superintendent of Police of Dakshina Kannada Sudheer Kumar Reddy C.H. and Deputy Commissioner Rohini Sindhuri Dasari from Hassan despite public demand to retain them.

He said that it was unusual to effect so many transfers especially when the elections were nearing.

The Congress had little to solve the problem of sand shortage. While sand was available at Rs. 3,000 per truckload during Mr. Yeddyurappa’s rule, it was now being sold at Rs. 18,000 per truckload.

He said that the Goa government and its Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar had wanted to resolve the Mahadayi water dispute, but it was the intransigent attitude of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah that was responsible for the breakdown in talks. The Congress MLAs in Goa too were opposed to a resolution of the dispute.

He said, over 20 activists of the Sangh Parivar had been murdered during the last four-and-a-half years, but no action had been taken. The withdrawal of cases against the Social Democratic Party of India, the Popular Front of India and the Karnataka Forum for Dignity was the reason for the murders, he said.

Though silt had accumulated in the dams at Baje and Shiroor in Udupi district, the State government had done little or nothing to remove it. With the result, the farmers were affected by it. But the Congress, an “anti-farmer party,” was least bothered about it, Mr. Javadekar said.

Bengaluru, Mar 29: The State government launched a mobile application for people to track the movement history of patients, who tested positive, before their detection so that they can take precautions. The app will give the date and time of visit to spots by the patients.

“The app also has a list of government designated first response hospitals for COVID-19 where citizen with symptoms can go.

Newsroom, Jan 29: Karnataka’s capital has earned the unwelcome distinction of global capital of traffic congestion. According to a report by TomTom, the Netherlands-based global provider of navigation, traffic and map products, Bengaluru beat 415 other cities across 57 countries to earn the title of world's most traffic congested city in 2019.

“Bengaluru takes the top spot this year with drivers in the southern Indian city expecting to spend an average of 71% extra travel time stuck in traffic," TomTom said in the ninth edition of its annual Traffic Index.

Three other Indian cities, namely, Mumbai, Pune and New Delhi are also ranked in the 2019 edition of TomTom’s Traffic Index of the world’s most traffic-congested cities. 

The report released on Tuesday ranks cities by the average time added to a trip. TomTom index also includes details on when congestion is heaviest and lightest, how highways compare with surface streets, and how much time drivers wasted waiting for other drivers to get out of their way.

Following closely on the heels of Bengaluru is Manila, Philippines, with the similar 71% traffic congestion. Among the top five worst traffic affected cities are Mumbai and Pune from India at the fourth and fifth place respectively, while Bogota, Colombia is on third spot.

Delhi, the national capital of India is on the 8th spot, while Moscow (Russia), Lima (Peru), Istanbul (Turkey) and Jakarta (Indonesia) are on 6th, 7th, 9th and 10th spot respectively.

Mumbai recorded a 65% traffic congestion with 9th September, 2019 being the worst day. On an average, a Mumbaikar lost 209 hours in traffic congestion. Pune has 59% traffic congestion with 2nd August, 2019 being the worst day. 193 hours are lost due to congestion. Delhi, on the other hand, has 56% traffic congestion. 23rd October, 2019 was the worst day, while 190 hours are lost in traffic congestion.

Interestingly, among all the four Indian cities, Delhi has the most number of cars. Previous studies have concluded that Delhi has the best road conditions among the Metro cities of India.

If you are wondering what exactly the percentages mean, a 53% congestion level in Bangkok, for example, means that a trip will take 53% more time than it would during Bangkok’s baseline uncongested conditions.

TomTom calculates the baseline per city by analyzing free-flow travel times of all vehicles on the entire road network – recorded 24/7, 365 days a year. The report by Dutch navigation and mapping company ranks cities by the average time added to a trip. It also includes details on when congestion is heaviest and lightest, and how much time drivers wasted waiting for other drivers to get out of their way.
