I am from Kalyan, a suburb in Thane. Dr.T was posted as city commissioner here first , he has been a saviour by transforming the the entire Town from a village like look to a clean place with huge roads ,gardens and other public amenities. Sadly Dr.T was transferred elsewhere by our Mindless Politicians for his good deeds.
Kalyan hasnt seen any change in civic amenities since he left.

Hats off to Dr.T and Yes Indeed we have LOST a wonderful bureaucrat.

Will MISS you Dr.T

Anon - Actually no, I haven't kept track of Dr. T since this..kinda gave up on the whole thing. You're right everything has indeed gone silent. Thanks for the comment.

Mr. Sandip - Apologies but I don't represent the govt., administration, etc. Perhaps you could approach a lawyer or an NGO in this regard. Sorry once again.

2008-02-21T22:35:00.000+05:30

The politicians of Mumbai are more concerned with their own respect. they want an officer who listens to them whatsoever they say... out of law but they do not want a result oriented person like Dr T Chandrashekar.He's definately a courageous man wherever he'll go he'll definately change the things for public benifit.He's amongst the top 10 IAS Officers of India.Govt has the habit of functioning with corrupt and non performance officers.The state has lost a gem

2008-02-03T12:01:00.000+05:30

CSM - thanks very much again. In fact the quantity and quality of data on our Government (state and central) websites is astounding. What's sad is that not many people even know about it, forget searching it. Look at my series on the Voters ID Cards. I've been wanting to do a post on this revolution, but as usual time constraints! Thanks for pointing out what you did.

BA - good to have linked you onto something new.

one of the biggest and quietest revolutions have happened with National Informatics Center.
their site is also very informative and astonishing. NIC is 20+ years old !!
am quoting from their note on history
"The Electronics Committee convened a National Conference on Electronics in 1968 wherein Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, the then Chairman of the Committee, suggested the formation of National Informatics Organisation towards fulfilling the goal of a self-reliant electronics industry"

some of the best brains were involved in the set up stage.
will send you more such govt links by mail.

Prashant - Thanks for the comment

CSM - Wow! I didn't even know that kind of data existed! In fact, as I've been reading the newspapers (since your comment here) they're also making similar observations. Thanks very much.

Sunil - Thanks for your kind words! Hope you post your thoughts on your blog and also hope our planners read your blog often!

Hi Bombay addict.
First of all kudos to you for putting up such a fantastic blog site. I am Addicted to Mumbai too .
Mumbai is the city I love the Most.
I have recently started working as a transportation Planner in New York City. ( Hope to learn Transportation planning here and come back to Mumbai soon.)
Surely Dr. T Chandrashekhar Resigning will be a huge setback to development of Mumbai. I hope he carries on with his good work in Private sector.

BA - it is a sad reflection of how much the best (intentioned) administrators are shackled by the sharks.
the ministry of personnel has all the details of the IAS officers. quite a site. the query link is here.
i was trying to track Dr TC's record and... surprise, surprise...his record is unavailable.
interestingly, sitaram kunte was Addnl Mun Comm for Mumbai Municipal Corporation and was tranferred to MHADA. he made an early and quiet exit, as he too was deemed dangerous by taking on corruption and sent to pasture at the governor's office.

2008-01-28T20:34:00.000+05:30

Well I think that slum development in Mumbai will face tremendous problem. MHADA is a hopeless in building department as per previous experience because MHADA is now run by corrupt officials. So I think Mr. Chandrashekhar did good for quit the job.

Sujit - Thanks very much for sharing your personal experience. Unfortunately I don't think Mumbaikars are even paying attention to this issue, leave alone rallying around him.

2008-01-27T07:10:00.000+05:30

I really dont understand the ins and outs of the positions Dr T C held, but as a local Nagpurian I just know that whatever this person does is always in the interest of the common public and not the money-minded politicos who are actually good for nothing but filling their own pockets.So I believe this decision by Dr T C is too grave, because I know he used to handle this B******t tribe of politicians very confidently. Any Nagpurite or Thaneite will be more than willing to validate this. Now is the time, we should show our solidarity behind this brave and confident bureaucrat and let this bunch of politicos to know that they have little credibility left with the public and force them to bring him back.

Hi,

I am a final year student of journalism and i am doing a research on the blogging revolution. As you are a blog writer, i would like you to fill up a questionnaire for me which would help me in my project work.

Thanks,
