Government and Police interactions

• Government approval - We need to get approval from the government authorities on this. this would mainly involve BBMP, and maybe the Town Planning and Urban Development authorities. We need permissions on getting space for the stations, probable sanctions for biking lanes, legislation if required. We also need to get approvals for the ideas and then legal tenders if required, so companies can bid for the project, probably on a BOOT (Build, Own, Operate, Transfer) model. We need government backing on the project. Our case would be strengthened if we had media backing, and backing by eminent personalities.
  

• Police interaction -
  

1. Traffic police : Approval for project ( dunno if we need their permission), inputs on project, approval for biking lanes, safety concerns, bike stations
2. Regular police : Approval for security arrangements, possibility of biking stations along police station compounds
