WANTED: Good corporator
T
he nexus of builders, politicians, bureaucrats and government officials is well-known. And that is precisely what ails HSR Layout as well. By planting their people in the resident welfare associations (RWA), these politicians try to scuttle the opposition and even become party to fixing the elections. Like it happened in Sector 3 RWA a few years ago. Our ward politicians also call up the RWA members and tell them not to invite a certain person because it would affect their political fortunes. Or tell the RWA to stay away from any event organised by an opposing political outfit. When the truth is, the RWA should be apolitical and have nothing to do with the corporator or MLA. They are indebted to no one, except the residents they serve. And the corporator, MLA, MP and ministers are nothing but ‘public servants’. So it’s important for residents to accord them only that much respect and not make them god. Sector 3 RWA has made a milestone resolution of removing people with multiple affiliations, political, religious or business. That’s a good sign and we hope all the other RWAs will follow suit. After all, we don’t need party workers to serve as the RWA’s secretary or president. They will be clearly biased and will say nothing against their own party if found wrong. Similarly, there is this mad rush to build religious structures inside parks and playgrounds. The only job of an RWA is to better the socio-civic problems of the neighbourhood, and not become priests and devotees hellbent on building temples on civic amenity sites. It’s the time for corporation elections. It’s time we voted out the current dispensation and brought in fresh blood that promises to better the situation by being proactive, transparent, honest, energetic and courageous. May the best candidate win. Zahid Haroon Javali

NEIGHBOURHOOD NEWS BUILDING ON THE ROAD DEMOLISHED
Last month, 17th A Main in Sector 3 saw a flurry of protests from residents. One house owner who had built a labourer’s temporary shed in cement and concrete bang on the road was refusing to break it down. The problem? The BBMP had come calling to tar the road. The residents called the Sector 3 association members who rushed to the place, talked to the house owner and made him see reason. The next day, the owner had the shed demolished to make way for the road. What’s more, the building itself was in violation of building bylaws. If there are six floors being constructed on one site, another site had five. Clearly, there is blatant violation of the law and the BBMP officials are hand in glove, allege the residents. We urge BBMP joint commissioner Muniraju to bring the perpetrators to book.
SECTOR 3 RWA SAYS ‘NO’ TO MULTIPLE AFFILIATIONS
In a landmark resolution, the 3rd Sector Welfare Society has decided to do away with office bearers who are in any way connected to a political party, a religious organisation or hold many posts. The committee resolved that an office bearer will be thrown out if they are found to be breeding hatred among the members of RWA if they indulge in the illegal encroachment of public places for religious purposes. Similarly, the association decreed that RWA members holding more than one official position will be promptly asked to step down from the other posts to retain the post at the RWA. Ironically, the resolution was passed under the chairmanship of Prof P Sadashiva Reddy who holds multiple positions in several organisations. Will he resign from the dozen-odd posts to retain the position of president at the RWA remains to be seen. And will the other RWAs in HSR Layout follow suit? Sector 4 and Sector 7 has BJP workers representing as president and secretary respectively.
BWSSB WATER INSPECTOR CAUGHT TAKING BRIBE
A water inspector attached with the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) was caught by Lokayukta police last month, when he was allegedly taking Rs 5000 as bribe for a new building in HSR Layout. HM Krishnamurthy is the water inspector who was caught by the Lokayukta police when JP Nagar resident Arshad Ahamad complained to them. Arshad had approached the water inspector to get a new water connection to a shop and house constructed by him in HSR Layout. Krishnamurthy allegedly demanded Rs 6000 and also received Rs 1000 as an advance from Arshad. Arshad decided not to pay more and filed a complaint with the Lokayukta. As Krishnamurthy was accepting Rs 5000 at his office, he was caught by the Lokayukta police and the bribe amount was recovered from Krishnamurthy.

WOMAN’S BURNT BODY FOUND IN LOO
The burnt body of a 22-year-old woman was found last month in a toilet behind a workers’ shed in Doddakkanahalli, near HSR
4| April 2015
Layout, under mysterious circumstances. Vandana, a saleswoman with a retail store in HSR Layout, was staying with her mother, elder sister and brother-in-law in a row of sheds built for labourers at the construction site of an apartment building. “On Thursday, her mother and sister, both working at the construction site, had gone to their hometown Kolar to attend a marriage ceremony and Vandana was alone at home. On Friday, her body was found in one of the women’s toilets,” said DCP (south east) Rohini Katoch Sepat. She said a murder case is registered. A few days later, the HSR Layout police claimed to have obtained vital clues behind the mysterious death. “We have rounded up a few suspects and are questioning them,” the police said. “We are not ruling out the possibility of the deceased having been sexually exploited. We are waiting for the post-mortem report to ascertain murder or suicide.” Investigations are on.

SECTOR 3 FILES RTI, BBMP GETS TO WORK
Two months ago, the Sector 3 RWA filed an RTI seeking details on the amount of money spent on asphalting roads in their jurisdiction. For almost seven years, the roads in this sector have not been tarred. Every time, only a few stretches and potholes would be filled to whitewash the scenario. And even that patch of work would be of such low quality that the road condition would be back to a sorry mess ResidentsWATCH
within a few months. The same story is being repeated now. The moment the BBMP got to know that an RTI has been filed, they got to work last month. But alas, only a few roads have been taken up, and the quality of work is shoddy. The association is not leaving any stone unturned, though. Since the RTI reply hasn’t come in yet, they are appealing before the next Appellate Authority on the issue of non-receipt of information. We urge every RWA to file an RTI to expose the BBMP and the elected representatives.
TWO CAB DRIVERS ARRESTED FOR MISBEHAVING WITH WOMAN
A short walk from the corner of the road to her house turned horrific for a 27-year-old private company employee when two cab drivers allegedly misbehaved with her at HSR Layout last month. The victim was returning home from office when the cab drivers, Santhosh (24), who hails from Bihar, and Nadeesh, who is from Mandya, allegedly misbehaved with her. The victim and her husband immediately filed a complaint at the HSR Layout police station. The story took a twist the next day, when the victim spotted the cab drivers. She panicked and reported the incident to City Police Commissioner MN Reddi through Twitter. Mr Reddi directed DCP (South-East Division) Rohini Katoch Sepat to look into the matter. The duo were summoned again and the police took preventive measures.

HSR ECO HABBA
The Green Bazaar, a bi-monthly weekend market in Bangalore by thealternative.in, came to HSR Layout on March 28, 2015. It was a market for the best local, organic goods, upcycled fashion, wholesome food, handmade native craft and waste/water/energy management solutions to power everyday life. With the theme of ‘World Water Day’, the bazaar was all about making recycling cool and promoting a culture of conscious consumption. The day-long event was held at Lawrence High School in Sector 6.

TOP CITY CHEF HELD FOR SERIAL MOLESTATION
A chef with a top city restaurant was arrested for allegedly molesting more than 15 women in the last few months. According to the police, Saud Ahmed, a resident of Mangammana Palya,
6| April 2015
would target lone women and girls using his Honda Activa and it was the same vehicle which led the police to his eventual arrest. Last month, we had carried a Bangalore Mirror report, ‘Woman groped twice in the dark’, on an incident in HSR layout where a 23-year-old was attacked in the dark by a scooter borne-perpetrator. Going through CCTV footage in the stretch, the police zeroed in on a Black Activa that had passed and was visible in all the videos. The CCTV footage of more than a month was analysed and the same vehicle was found frequenting the same stretch. The vehicle was found entering Mangammanapalya. Seven scooter showrooms in the area were alerted and upon examining the database, police found that 44 bikes were sold in the same area. Details of the owners were taken using registration numbers. Saud’s was one of them. The police have booked him under charges of molestation under IPC section 354A.

BDA OFFICIAL, TOUTS NAMED IN FIR IN RS 36 CR SITE SCAM
A first division assistant working with the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) and three touts have come under the scanner after the commissioner directed an FIR to be filed against them for allegedly trying to gulp nine prime sites measuring 50x80 in HSR Layout IInd and IIIrd sector. It is said that the price of these sites is collectively around Rs 36 crore. BDA’s deputy secretary-1 Shivaswami has filed an FIR with the Sheshadripuram police after BDA commissioner T Sham Bhat ordered him to do so. The FIR has been filed against Suryanarayana, Yeshwanth and Guru, and BDA employee GL Madhusoodan, for forging an original file and creating a duplicate file to grab land in HSR Layout. The incident came to light after Suryanarayana, Yeshwanth and Guru grabbed allotment letters pertaining to site No 384, 385 and 386 in HSR IInd sector and site No 130/A, 131/A, 184/A1, 196/B, 1107/E and 1107/F in sector No III. Further, the accused obtained registered sale deeds of the site except site No 1107/E and 1107/F, to show sale transactions.

The 31st Main Road in Sector 2 is an open-air lavatory with a gaping manhole that can turn treacherous at night.
It’s still a work in progress on this stretch of the footpath on 27th Main Road in Sector 2. Wake up, corporator.
This building owner on 24th Main has encroached the footpath when that could have been used for vehicle parking.
This is just one of the many BDA and BBMP signboards that need to be repainted or removed completely since they serve no purpose right now.

This is one of the many filthy drains in HSR Layout. Will the corporator get the BBMP staff to do its job?
BBMP is planning an organic waste processing unit in this park on 26th Main, 18th Cross, Sector 2. They plan to cut a number of trees for this and the residents are opposed to it.

‘I don’t know what the corporator and MLA are doing’ Resident activist Kavitha Reddy on her socio-civic role and her journey so far
By Zahid H Javali
K “The condition of HSR is getting worse by the day. There is no focus on the maintenance of infrastructure, parks, public spaces, storm water drains… Even though HSR is a BDA layout, there is not even a single free public toilet anywhere.”
18| April 2015
avitha Reddy’s motto? What is not measurable is not worth doing. The 42-year-old outspoken activist from Sector 1 has a lot on her hands. She is the co-founder of Basecamp Adventures, Karnataka’s first and only approved ‘adventure tour operator’ by the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India. She has co-authored a paper on ‘Making India’s Labour Markets Inclusive’, finished her bachelors in science and post graduate diploma in marketing and sales. She is the General Secretary of Adventure Tour Operators Association of Karnataka, and the trustee of Kaagaz Foundation (an NGO) and the joint secretary of Agara Lake Protection & Management Society. If that isn’t all, she’s also a member of One Bengaluru for Lakes and the Indian National Congress. Without further ado, we delve deep into what makes her tick. Tell us about your journey so far… It has been truly adventurous, even though I could not fulfill my dream of becoming a fighter pilot or serve in the Armed forces in a combat role. But I have no regrets. My first ResidentsWATCH

job was about selling cars. The urge of doing something different lingered all through my career. The start-ups were more challenging. I was initially with IndiaLife Hewitt and later as Co-Founder Vice President of TeamLease Services. I took every opportunity and role that came my way. After a 14-year stint, I felt I wanted to break away from mundane work and do something different. Since I was a trained mountaineer, I started Basecamp Adventures in 2009, which is purely into adventure travel. I lend my voice and support campaigns related to civic, gender and environmental issues, specifically lakes. What ails HSR today? The condition of HSR is getting worse by the day. There is no focus on the maintenance of infrastructure, parks, public spaces, storm water drains… Even though HSR is a BDA layout, there is not even a single free public toilet anywhere. Men relieving in public are common and so are labourers defecating in the open. Garbage is in everywhere. We also have the pig menace. All these are serious health hazards. Extensive commercialisation is leading to congestion and adding to the already crumbling infrastructure. I really don’t know what the corporator and MLA are doing. If they can’t do anything new for HSR, at least they should invest their energies into the maintenance of what is already there. What do you do when you are not working? I am working all the time. For me, work does not really mean my business interests. It also means contributing to society in every possible way. I never keep myself idle. I believe that there is so much to be done to make our locality, city, state and country, a better place. I have also taken keen interest in politics and I feel the biggest and effective engine of change is governance. I do spend a fair amount of time on reading and interacting with people on policy and governance. Tell us about one adventure that is closest to your heart… Every adventure trip I have undertaken was different. Mountaineering is challenging, but an equally satisfying and humbling experience. The closest to my heart is climbing Mt Bhagirathi II, a 6512-metre peak, ResidentsWATCH
it took over 16 hours to reach the summit from Camp 2. Though I have climbed tougher peaks, the aura and beauty of that peak was mesmerising. It’s one peak I would love to climb again. Tell us little known facts about you… What you see is who I am. I am a selfconfessed ziddi (stubborn). My friends call me Kavi or KR or Ziddi based on which stage of life they have known me. My parents say that I was a good and responsible kid. I was always an above average student both in academics and sports. My mom is a homemaker and also the President of Mythri Mahila Koota. My dad retired from BEL and was a well-known volleyball player. My brother is an environmentalist. During school and college days, I participated in several sports events and won trophies. My house is full of my certificates, trophies and medals. Coming from a rural background and from a family of social and political activists, I grew up among people and I still connect to rural India better than urban.

Space matters
No stadium on PIL playground
No cultural or religious activities should be conducted either, say residents
By our correspondent
A
This is for proper utilisation of the playground by all the residents with minimal maintenance cost. We request the BBMP to consider our recommendations seriously. -- Sector 2 Assn President Brig (Retd) RS Murthy ResidentsWATCH
fter much hue, cry and a court case stretching over five years, the sports ground opposite Gyan Srishti School in Sector 2 was restored to the public by the Karnataka High Court. The playground was formally inaugurated by MLA Satish Reddy in February 2015. Now the residents welfare association of Sector 2 has put forth their list of demands before the BBMP joint commissioner in Bommanahalli. The residents’s charter goes this way… • A well-represented committee must be set up by the Corporator/BBMP Joint Commissioner to manage the proper utilisation of the playground. All the sectors must be represented in the committee. • There must be a security compound wall of equal height on all sides with the main gate overlooking the 17th Cross with a security room at the entrance. There should be CCTV cameras and two small revolving gates as entry points for residents. • The entire ground periphery must be lined with trees and proper landscaping must be planned, including a jogging track, an exclusive children’s play area, proper toilets, marble benches and small flower gardens at different places. • Major physical concrete structures or facilities should not be planned like a stadium or swimming pool. We want it to be an open playground. • There should be no vehicle parking inside the ground. • Sporting facilities such as basketball court, tennis court, involving light structures which require less or no maintenance can be planned in the periphery of the playground. • No permission should be granted for any cultural or religious activities.

Know your corporator
Mr & Mrs Murthy default
The couple hasn’t paid for the last two years
By our correspondent

Gross inefficiency defined the tenure of Latha as the corporator. It’s about time, she was turfed out of her party, because she and her husband Narasimha Murthy are bad news to any party.
34| April 2015
orporator Latha and her husband Narasimha Murthy owe us Rs 20,000. That’s the amount they had to pay for a two-page advertisement released in the first issue of Residents Watch in November 2012. The amount is outstanding for over two years and counting. With simple interest, it should come to Rs 25,000. The advertisement was to do with the electoral fortunes of Narasimha Murthy who was standing for the post of secretary at HSR Club. And he won by a narrow margin. What’s more, Murthy even banned the distribution of our magazine in the club’s premises, because of the negative publicity the couple was receiving. This year, he lost the seat to someone else, following financial irregularities worth over a crore at HSR Club. Incidentally, MLA Satish Reddy also released a one-page advertisement in Residents Watch in the inaugural issue and paid Rs 10000 promptly. It demonstrates that the corporator and her husband feel that they are superior to the MLA and can get away with anything. We have been critical about the MLA (even though he paid) and the corporator in public interest. If payment was all it took to make us go against the corporator, we would have kept mum about the MLA. With corporation elections around the corner, we gave one final ultimatum to Latha last month: pay up or get exposed. She replied if she should also pay for the negative publicity that we had accorded her. We said that she needn’t because she had ‘earned it’. Mr & Mrs Murthy, it’s about time you paid all your dues to everyone you owe money to, not just us. Forget about the elections. It’s just bad karma. ResidentsWATCH
