Read news few weeks back about 50,000 SME closing down leading to loss of 5L jobs. One can believe WhatsApp forwards and spout some conspiratorial nonsense. Or one can believe DDM nonsense and spout disinformation. Your choice on which you want to do, but to the observer, they appear to be very sim...

It is still very congested, but not as much as the last leg from Tilak bridge to NDLS, where trains are routinely held up for path clearance and platform availability (NDLS has 16 platforms).

Do the trains on Mumbai - Delhi route still get delayed a lot once they get close to Mathura? I remember that it used to be a nightmare. It was quite common to lose 1 to 2 hrs.

Sort of OT, but it has to be said. The impact of overseas capital (FDI, FII) is over-estimated, and India's internal dynamics are under-estimated. Prof. Vaidyanathan's book India Uninc. explains this quite clearly with data - most of Indian growth has been fueled by internal savings and not FDI/FII.

Given the way BMRCL insists on planning (or the lack of it), I don't have any hopes of seamless connectivity if the station is built outside the city. See their pig headed-ness in planning the Cantonment metro station "integration" (it's a kilometre away in some playground). Whitefield and...

Regarding the BLR e-way, all the announcements seem to be concentrated on the Chennai side, but nothing in BLR. What happens after one exits the e-way at Hoskote?
