True nationalism is ‘citizen activism’
A
ll of us have personal and professional issues. Yet, some of us take time off to report public problems, offer solutions, go along with the authorities and help them solve several issues and even stand on the roads to demand justice. These are the real superstars of today’s India.
Design Chandru N | print2last.in
I thank each one of them with all my heart and just say this: Don’t lose hope. Keep it going. Your can-do attitude should rub off on all the associations, politicians, government officials, and bureaucrats to do their job well. Otherwise, they will think we don’t care. But we do and we have shown it, our way.

Now that HSR is trying its best to lead the way in so many different issues, it’s time the BBMP, the MLA, the MP, GAIL Gas, BESCOM, BWSSB and other civic agencies did their best to make HSR, a model ward that the city and country will be proud of.

NEIGHBOURHOOD NEWS ANOTHER LABOUR CAMP IN SECTOR 3
Resident Renu Reddy is upset with a mushrooming labour camp on 25th Cross Road in Sector 3. “The entire stretch from Muneshwara/Kaveramma temple until Bootcamp has labourers’ sheds,” she wrote to us. “They are not vacating their place even after constructions are complete. More number of sheds are cropping up, making the area look like a slum. Roads filled with dirty water and so on. The service road parallel to 19th main is occupied by food vendors causing difficulty to pedestrians and vehicles. There are a lot of cabs parked there. Dog menace too.” Will the BBMP and the Sector 3 Resident Welfare Association take this up on priority and sort out this issue before it snowballs into a major issue, please?
REQUEST SS PALYA LAKE TO BE HANDED OVER TO BBMP FOR REVIVAL WORK: MLA
Last month, Bommanahalli MLA Satish Reddy petitioned TM Vijay Bhaskar, the Additional Chief Secretary with the state government. The topic was the revival of Somasunderpalya Lake (also known as Haralakunte Lake). The Lake with survey number 0051 BBMP Ward 190, of Bommanahalli Assembly Constituency comes under the BDA. “For many years, the lake is neglected by the BDA, without any revival plan,” Reddy said in the letter. “BDA has not shown any interest in revival of this lake. Recently, they handed over 22 lakes to BBMP citing lack of funds. I would like to revive Somasundrapalya Lake utilising the committed funds from BBMP, MLA’s Fund and Rajya Sabha MP Kupendra Reddy’s MPLAD Fund.” In his letter, the MLA has requested Bhaskar to transfer the Somasunderpalya Lake that is currently under BDA to BBMP, so that the revival of the lake can happen on a war footing, provide citizens with a lung space and better the ground water quality and quantity.
Black spot cleanup drive by members of Hasiru Mithra in Somasunderpalya
Here are some of the issues that need to be addressed by the BBMP. Speed up the odour management plant. Comply with the High Court order to remove the rejects (RDF) and prevent more rejects from piling up near the lakeside on encroached land. KCDC and BBMP have been ordered by the state pollution control board to move all rejects by June 1, 2016. Don’t accept mixed waste, one of the major reasons for the stink and pollution. Ensure that the Citizen’s Monitoring Committee meets every 3rd Saturday at KCDC to take stock of the situation and no vital decision should be taken without engaging KHHSP RWA. “After the odour management plant is in place, the intake quantity for KCDC must be restricted to Bommanahalli. No other zone waste should be accepted,” says principal campaigner Anis Padela. “The trucks supplying the waste to KCDC should be made public and be subjected to periodic audit.”
KCDC ISSUE STILL STINKS
In a letter addressed to Special BBMP Commissioner (Solid Waste Management) Subodh Yadav and Bommanahalli Joint Commissioner Muniraju, the KHHSP Residents Welfare Association highlighted the fact that the odour management plant that was supposed to come up by March 15, 2016 is yet to see the light of day. “Neither the odour management plant is operational and nor is there any relief from the stink for residents,” says Meera Mahajan, secretary, KHHSP RWA. “This reflects the seriousness of the BBMP and KCDC in resolving the problem.”

Wassup HSR? GAIL MESS IN HSR
Resident Welfare Associations are extremely upset with the lackadaisical attitude and shoddy work of GAIL. Not only have they violated several norms in laying the gas pipeline network under the ground but have repeatedly committed offences despite promising not to do them. Several meetings have happened between the Federation of HSR Residents Welfare Association with GAIL and BBMP regarding the issue, but much still needs to be done. The result of such substandard work is there to be seen. There is dust and debris all over. The roads that were dug up remained unfilled for months on end. And where the roads were filled up, the work was shoddy. Though GAIL promised to restore the dug up roads by the end of February before taking up new work, it was just an empty promise. Sub-contracting is the bane here. One contractor’s job is to dig the road and install gas pipes. Another agency will level the road. GAIL is supposed to finish the project by May 2016 and supply compressed natural gas to people’s homes. GAIL Gas is a government of India undertaking. You can complain through various channels (gailgashelpline@gail.co.in), 18001029282, 6888-8081, 2361-1216, 2309-7707.
PUBLIC LIBRARY TO REPLACE NANDINI COOLJOINT?
The illegal Nandini Cooljoint building in Sector 3 is operating without any BBMP action. The same goes for the illegal Sai Baba temple behind it. The Sector 3 RWA has written to the BBMP more than three years ago about both these violations, but no action has been taken yet. Similarly, the High Court recovered playground is not fully back with the BBMP. The BDA is yet to hand over a part of it that includes the iron and steel shops. The entire playground should be handed over completely with immediate effect.
Remove all the encroachments around the periphery, which includes a watchman’s shed and a cricket net. This is a contempt of the High Court order. Instead of the Cooljoint building, we could have a public library instead. “Excellent suggestion. There are plenty of book lovers of all age groups here. Posterity will thank us,” says resident RS Murthy.
SERIES OF TALKS FOR WORLD HEALTH DAY
The Sector 3 Residents Welfare Association is celebrating World Health Day (April 7), in a special way. It has arranged for week-long talks on health by naturopathy specialist MG Mulakur and a resident of Sector 3. Here goes the schedule for it with the venue being the Twin Park in Sector 3. The timings are from 6.30pm-7.30pm. April 1: Introduction to Divine Healing. April 2: Food is Medicine and Medicine is Food. April 3: Water is Medicine. April 4: Sun Cure & Chromo therapy. April 5: Pranayama Air Therapy. April 6: Fasting (Space) Therapy. April 7: Treatment of Diseases. For more details, you can contact Mulakur at 94488-45691.
STRAY DOG MENACE IN HSR
Segregation workshop by Hasiru Mithra members Arathi, Lakshmi and Bhagirath in Garden Layout, Sector 2.
6| April 2016
Residents are upset with the proliferation of stray dogs in HSR Layout. If there is no ‘V’ shaped mark on them, beware and also report them to the Joint Director of Animal Husbandry at BBMP headquarters. For immediate measures, call the dog squad (99640-46121, 2297-5585).
ResidentsWATCH - HSR Layout
Wassup HSR? NEWS IN SHORT l KCDC FUND DRIVE BEGINS: The fund collection drive towards KCDC began in January with the first meeting at Aakruthi Silverline’s Clubhouse. l FOOTPATH VENDORS: 18th Cross in Sector 2 is another place where registered HSR footpath vendors can be relocated by BBMP and traffic police. A letter to this effect was given by the Sector 2 Residents Welfare Association more than three years ago. l TWEET TRAFFIC ISSUES: HSR traffic police has a new Twitter handle (@btphsr). It is supposed to be operated by a colleague of traffic inspector Rao Ganesh. l SHUTTLE SERVICES: The feeder buses introduced by BMTC appear to have vanished, according to most residents. They feel a proper route for them would revive public transport. The most important suggestion to BMTC is to start and end the feeder buses in HSR Layout. This way, the frequency will be maintained and the residents will take to it if there is ample visibility. If they make the service sustainable, profitability will come next. But first, they need to listen to the residents and make it workable. Which means, starting and ending their feeder service at BDA Complex, with stops at Parangipalya, Agara, 18th Cross, HSR Club, and Bescom power station at the junction of 27th Main and 24th Main Road in Sector 2. Another suggestion is to have feeder buses during school timings, so kids can be ferried across HSR. l BLACK SPOTS: BBMP is burning garbage to eliminate black spots, violating its own rule. When asked, joint commissioner Muniraju has no answer. l TEXT MESSAGING: HaSiRu Mithra is sending out 5000 smses on waste segregation every Monday since January. It’s a sustained communication campaign for at least one year. l ROAD WORKS: BBMP has fixed several black spots in HSR, but the work is shoddy. On 19th Main dead end, they left a big crater half done and another one shoddily covered. When residents complained about it in Residents Watch group, some of the roads were fixed properly. However, the potholed HSR Club Road stretch from Born Babies to HSR Club, continues to remain unattended. The BBMP and MLA have been informed about it. But no respite so far.

ONLINE RTI, ANYONE?
Frustrated by the civic mess in HSR Layout? Want to know the true facts? How much money was allocated to your neighbourhood roads and parks? Is the building legal? Does the commercial establishment have a valid licence? You can do your bit as a resident. File an RTI and now it’s easier. You can do it online through onlinerti.com. It costs Rs 200 to file an RTI. If you don’t get a response within 30 days, you can go in appeal by paying an additional Rs 450. And once you get a response, mail us and we will publicise it widely (info@residentswatch.in).
BMTC’S FEEDER SERVICES
Sector 6 resident Vatsa has a good suggestion. Why can’t the BMTC start the bus 356CW from HSR BDA complex. “They are any way coming until Agara flyover for taking a U-turn to Silkboard,” he says. This will help people travelling to Electronic City. And the bus takes the service road, so the Silkboard jam is also avoided.” If you have any more suggestions to the BMTC, mail: md@mybmtc.com.
E-WASTE BINS IN SUPERMARKETS, PLEASE!
Resident Lakshmi of Somasunderpalya has a good idea that only needs takers now. “We should have e-bins kept at places like BDA complex and big supermarkets where people can drop it as it is not a big volume in any home. At my daughter’s school, they have an e-bin.”
GARBAGE MESS AT CPWD QUARTERS
The mess at CPWD quarters is the best example of resident apathy and BBMP inaction. First reported by Hasiru Mithra team in January, the BBMP is yet to clean up the mess and fine them.
This garbage van was lying unattended in Sector 4 for more than three weeks before it was taken away when reported in Residents Watch Whatsapp group. ResidentsWATCH - HSR Layout
Wassup HSR? NO MONEY FOR HSR LAYOUT
Last month, the Federation of HSR Residents Welfare Association along with MLA Satish Reddy protested outside BBMP headquarters. The reason: zero money granted to Bommanahalli ward (which includes HSR Layout) in the BBMP budget. “This is sheer injustice and we will take the matter to court and get the money we deserve,” Reddy told Residents Watch. “BBMP gets Rs 600 crore every year from Bommanahalli as revenue and this is what we deserve?” The Congress-led BBMP has made the same mistake the BJP committed when it was holding the mayor’s chair: not giving money to Congress wards. We urge Bangalore development minister KJ George to reconsider. After all, the people from HSR Layout and Somasunderpalya voted for the Congress at the recent civic polls. By not paying a penny, they will lose out on the trust bestowed on them by the junta.
A PUBLIC PARK NOT MEANT FOR THE PUBLIC!
There are over 25 parks in HSR Layout, but one park in Sector 6 deserves a special mention. On 1st B Main Road, a lung space, less than an acre, is home to a lawn tennis court, basketball court, shuttle cock court and campfire area. It has been around for over a decade but it’s not meant for everybody. It’s just for IAS officers and their families. Welcome to MCHS Colony in Sector 6, also called the IAS Officers Colony. But can a public park be used only by a select few? That’s downright illegal. We would urge Federation of HSR RWAs and the MLA to take this up on priority and ensure public access to one and all.
This car has been lying around in Sector 4 off 17th Cross for months together and blocking the footpath. Will the traffic police tow it away please?

hanks to the plastic ban, Ecoezee was born. The brainchild of 29-year-old Nadeem, his all-new startup specialises in eco-friendly consumable items like Areca Leaf Plates. And they can be ordered in different shapes and sizes. The commerce graduate is only focussing on eco-friendly products that have zero side effects. “These plates are easy to dispose, cause no pollution and encourage the growth of the small scale industry,” he says. The company is based out of HSR Layout. Therefore, the immediate target group includes restaurants, marriage halls and even residents of HSR Layout and Somasunderpalya. “We are conducting door to door sales, creating awareness about the environment and requesting both business owners and residents to switch to eco-friendly products,” says Nadeem. “We are getting a good response from them. Most of them wanted to switch to eco-friendly products, but couldn’t find a proper supplier until now.” Areca Leaf Plates are one of the best alternatives to plastic. Not only are they biodegradable, they have their uses at parties, family functions, hotels, restaurants and banquet halls. The next time you go shopping for a plastic alternative, you know where to go. ResidentsWATCH - HSR Layout

How to get an individual water meter for your flat Here is a step-by-step way to go about it By Tejaswi G When people notice that they pay the same amount of money, irrespective of the water usage at an apartment complex, they have no incentive to save water. When people realise that they are paying for someone else’s water wastage, they tend to use more water to justify the amount paid. The end result will be an increased usage of water and a hefty payment towards the water tanker lobby. Even for apartments with Cauvery water connection, the quantity of water received is just a small percentage of the water required. Borewells are going dry in almost all new areas. Tankers are the only alternative
18| April 2016
currently unless apartments invest in rainwater harvesting (RWH) and Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) to convert waste water to potable water.
The remedy
The remedy is for every flat to have an individual water meter. Take this example of Aakruthi Silverline apartment on 27th Main, Sector 2. It’s a medium sized complex of 68 individual apartments having five blocks with ground + three floors. Each block has an overhead tank leading to a ring line for water distribution.
Pre-requisites of water meters for individual apartments
1.
Study the plumbing design of the apartment. Some have direct lines from overhead
tanks to all homes from top to bottom. Others have ‘Ring line’ plumbing where water overhead comes down to a 3-4” ring line at the ground / basement floor before the water pipeline junction (tappings) goes into each area of the apartment. Based on the design, the water meters will be on the roof or at the basement. Details given here is for the Ring line design. 2. In most cases, there will be more than one line going into an apartment to the bath & kitchen/ utility. This is not an issue.
How is the plumbing normally done for individual metering?
1.
For a Ring line design, there are multiple pipeline junctions (tappings) taken to feed different parts of the apartment through a common line.

from common line to individual lines for water meter.
Few myths and concerns about individual water meters
1. 2.
2.
Choose a water pipeline junction that is convenient for meter installation and is equidistant to all the areas of the apartment where the pipes need to be drawn. 3. The case study apartment used an analogue water meter. 4. It is preferable to have a shimmer (or a filter) before the meter to avoid small particles interfering with the working of the meter. About 10% of the meters are replaced after the warranty period till date. Shimmers should be cleaned every month. 5. From the filter, the lines lead to individual apartments and can be branched as required to reach all areas of the apartment. 6. The plumbing is only on the external area to the existing lines going into the apartment. 7. There has been no change to water pressure after the change
ResidentsWATCH - HSR Layout
It does not save water. Retrofitting individual water meters for each apartment is very expensive. 3. It is very expensive for builders to introduce them during construction and increases the maintenance cost for buyers/residents. 4. Cross connection of common water lines make individual water metering almost impossible. The given cost and benefit data can clear out the misconceptions of the myths and concerns.
Costing
1.
This apartment uses analogue water meter which was costing Rs 2500 three years back. There are also digital and RFID meters in the marketplace that come with digital reporting of water usage and bill that cost upwards of Rs 5000 with their advantages and reliability being much better than analogue. For example, Mythri Maiden in Somasunderpalya has digital meters with app-based billing and notification. 2. The entire project cost Rs 18000 per apartment, including the meter and plumbing. The majority of the money was taken as loan on the Fixed Deposit from the Apartment Association and the remaining from individual residents.
The benefits
1.
An average 10-12 tankers per day before the individual meters came down to 6-7 tankers a day after introducing the individual water meters. 2. Power usage to pump water is reduced / regulated. Aakruthi Silverline additionally uses automatic water level controller for automatic pumping of water to overhead tanks. 3. Residents have become conscious of their water bills and work towards reducing usage. 4. The analysis of the apartment data is given below: a. The average water purchased year on year has come down. The average cost has not changed much as there was a tanker rate increase in mid-2013 and mid-2014. b. Average tanker per day has come down from 6.49 to 5.94. That comes to saving about one lakh litres of water per month. c. The resident usage pattern shows that more number of residents are moving towards using less water over the years. While the percentage of residents using less than 15000 litres is increasing, the trend of using more than 15000 litres is decreasing.

How to get a duplicate driving licence and remove hypothecation in RC Book By Krishna Kumar Puravoor
L I went on a Saturday with an expectation to get the work done the same day. But the huge crowd of people upset my plan. But I used the time to find out the procedure and process involved to get the two jobs executed on some other day. The receptionist was very helpful and heard me patiently. I took stock of the necessary documentation and went midweek to accomplish the two RTO tasks at hand.
22| April 2016
ast month, I visited the Koramangala RTO to remove the hypothecation (HP) in the RC book since my vehicle loan was fully paid up. I also wanted to apply for a duplicate driving licence against my broken DL Smart Card. For the removal of the HP from the RC book, I was asked to submit three documents: Original RC book/card, latest pollution certificate and a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the financier. Make sure the NOC is within the validity period of three months. Else, submit a fresh one. All three documents accompanied with a request letter are to be inserted in a paper file. The file and tag are available in all the stationary shops in Koramangala BDA complex. Remember to insert the original RC card inside a plastic sleeve with a seal tagged along with other documents in the file. Also enclose a self-addressed envelope with postage stamps worth Rs 17. Make sure the envelope is thicker and tamper proof, so your card is safely mailed back to you. I went with this folder to the Superintendent at RTO office, who directed me to pay the prescribed fees of Rs 100 at the counter. I attached the paid receipt with the other documents in the folder and went back to the Superintendent, who led me to another clerk for submission. The clerk verified the documents, accepted them and gave me an acknowledgement slip with seal, signature, docket number and date. The entire process took less than 20 minutes. It usually takes 30 working days, but I got the card within two weeks, without paying a bribe. Krishna Kumar Puravoor is a senior marketing professional with IBM and a resident of Sector 2.

Community policing
Residents team up to police their neighbourhood By our correspondent
L
Left to right: Zahid Javali, Arathi Aleya, P Harishekaran, Chethan Reddy & Anil Reddy
Did you know? The prescribed ratio by the United Nations is 1 policeman for every 450 people. However, India’s ratio is 1 policeman for 709 people. Therefore, community policing is the way to go.
26| April 2016
ast month, HSR residents led by Residents Watch editor Zahid H Javali met with Additional Commissioner of Police (East), P Harishekaran. It all started on Twitter (his handle is: @ AddlCPEast). The top cop was impressed with the activism shown by HSR residents and wanted them to take part in community policing as well. That led to a meeting with him by concerned residents, including Chethan Reddy, Arathi Aleya and Anil Reddy. He explained the agenda of community policing and the next step would be a public talk where he will dwell on how the residents can help in preventing crime by being both on the field and off the field. The best part of community policing is that you can contribute in your own way. You could be an informant for the police, assist them on night beat duty, deliver crime prevention talks at schools, garment factories, resident associations and so on. Similarly, people who can stay vigilant at crime hot spots with the beat police. People who are available to sign on the ‘mahajar’ or panchnama when accidents or crime occur in their area. By law, two residents from the area are to sign on the case file when a complaint is lodged, be it accident or crime. Residents Watch has set up the ‘HSR Community Policing’ Whatsapp group to bring interested residents on to a common platform. You can join too if you are a resident of HSR Layout. Remember, you have to have a clean police record, be selfless, committed and passionate about helping the police and protecting society. The ultimate idea of community policing is to prevent crime before it happens. If you want to do your bit, email us (info@residentswatch. in) with your credentials, and we will be happy to have you in our Whatsapp group on community policing. ResidentsWATCH - HSR Layout
