KSRTC launches online hotel booking
Bangalore: If you plan to travel, you can now book hotels online through the new KSRTC website -- www.ksrtc.in -- that was
launched on Wednesday. The corporation has developed a software for booking hotels through private and e-booking services.
Many hotels in Bangalore, Mysore, Pondicherry and Mangalore have entered into agreement with KSRTC to use the online booking
service.
Transport principal secretary Upendra Tripathy said a state transport policy is in its planning stage. "Mobility is a
fundamental right. There should be 1,000 buses for every 10 lakh people," he said. "But for 4.5 crore population in
Karnataka, there are 20,000 buses maintained by four corporations and 7,000 private buses. The number should be 45,000
buses," he added.
Along with the launch of the website, Suvarna Karnataka tickets were also released. These tickets are valid for three or four
days and are ideal for short distance travel, such as in weekends. Passengers can buy the tickets online too.
The corporation has also launched a web portal to accommodate advertisements. The webpage will also offer news and other
information.

Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise Keep Bugging Around
Katie Holmes and Suri CruiseContinuing their trend of seeing New York City on foot, Katie Holmes was spotted meandering around the Big Apple earlier
today with her daughter Suri Cruise.
Undaunted by the rain, the “Mad Money” mommy came equipped with the lovely ladybug umbrella from last night, successfully
keeping them from getting wet.
Holmes looked beatnik chic in a black turtleneck underneath a black trench coat with sunglasses, while Suri sported a red
jacket, black leggings, and red shoes.
Earlier this morning, Katie was up and at ‘em with an energizing yoga session, starting her day off right with some physical
as well as mental focus.

Infotech show in Bangalore from Nov 6-8
Software honchos and hardware geeks will gather to solidify strategies to tackle the effects of the global meltdown on the Indian information technology (IT) industry at a CEOs conclave. It will be a part of the three-day Bangalore IT.biz 2008 tech conference beginning at the Bangalore Palace grounds from November 6,2008.
N. Jayadeva, additional managing director of Karnataka Biotech and Information Technology Services of the Karnataka Government, told India Today that this year's edition will feature conferences and seminars on various IT verticals like telecom, cyber security, healthcare and even government's thrust on taking IT to the rural sectors.
The emphasis is on business and cyber security in the light of the increasing attempts to embrace technology by terrorists in India.
Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa will open the event.
Yeddyurappa has said that he will like to emulate Modi's formula of development in his state, especially relevant after Karnataka fought hard to attract Ratan Tata's Nano project to his state which eventually drove to Gujarat, the partner state for the Bangalore tech show.
Famed guitarist Mexico-born Carlos Santana has been one of those who has endeared to the Indians not just because of the way he rendered top hits like Abraxas or Oye Como Va but also because of his closeness to Indian spirituality.
For a change, the Bangalore tech show will have a 50-member delegation from Mexico, the show's partner country. Mexico's minister for economy Gerardo Ruiz will be leading the team to explore tech opportunities in India.
"Indian software expertise has reached a new level," points out software hotshop Manthan Systems Managing Director Atul Jalan, "and Indian companies are at a level where they can offer their services to clients around the world."
Indian software exports have crossed thirty billion US dollars and the more than 6,000 units registered with Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) are hoping to push the figure beyond 50 billion dollars in three years.
STPI export awards will also be given away at the Bangalore IT.biz tech show.

Sixth Pay Commission: U'khand opposes raising VAT limit
The Uttarakhand finance department today said it was not in a position to concede the demand of the business community for increasing the threshold VAT limit from Rs 5 lakh to Rs 20 lakh.
The development comes a day after Chief Minister B C Khanduri assured the business community in Haldwani that he would look into their demand on sympathetic grounds, official sources said here today.
Indian Industry Association President Pankaj Gupta has also sought clarification from the chief minister whether any such move is being contemplated, saying the step would be “suicidal” for the economy of the hill state, which has meagre revenue resources.
Commenting on the chief minister’s reported statement, a top official said the threshold limit of Rs 5 lakh was in consonance with the national consensus on VAT. Any such increase would jeopardise the budget of the hill state, which is already reeling under the burden of the Sixth Pay Commission.
The Uttarakhand government recently decided to implement the new pay committee report that increases the salaries of its employees by 25 per cent and pensions by 40 per cent. The acceptance of the new wage report would put an extra burden of Rs 1,000 crore every year on the state exchequer. This year, the burden would be Rs 744 crore for salaries and Rs 284 crore for pensions.
“Since we are already reeling under huge financial burden, we will oppose any increase in VAT limit as and when the issue comes up,” said the official.
Meanwhile, Khanduri has also announced setting up of a new committee “Vyapar Mitra” to ensure better coordination between the business community and the government.
