SR Layout is the neighbourhood of choice for many. So much so that taxi operators have occupied our broad roads and narrowed our thoroughfares. The best example is 17th Cross Road and 18th Cross Road in Sector 3. Sometimes, there is double parking on one side that could lead to fatal near-misses. And what about a driver trying to navigate from 17th to 18th Cross? With cars parked on both sides, his area of vision will be restricted. If he does not ‘stop and go’, like any good driver ought to do, he could be involved in a fatal collision.
Something has to be done to contain this parking spree. I understand that commuting by taxis is essential for the HSR resident, but it appears that the cars parked here are not only meant to service HSR but also the neighbouring areas like Hosur Road, BTM Layout, Koramangala, Sarjapur Road and Bellandur. Being the midpoint to all these neighbourhoods has clearly not worked in HSR’s favour in this matter. Perhaps, the Ubers and Olas of the world could do with some discipline and ensure that there is no traffic congestion because of their enmasse squatting on public thoroughfare. They need to spread all over the area rather than focus on major thoroughfares and clog it. They need to divide their fleet among all the neighbours of HSR Layout, like Sarjapur Road, Somasunderpalya, Hosur Road and Bellandur, among others. Raise issues like these on your social network. You can be a citizen journalist by joining our Facebook group (www.facebook.com/groups/bloreonfriday). If we like your reports, opinions and experiences, you could see a broader story on the issue in Residents Watch. Lets join hands and together make a difference. Remember, change happens from within. If we change, the world will change. After all, the world is nothing but a mirror. Even if you are not a civic activist, be a good neighbour and a conscientious citizen. Always think ‘win-win’ in every situation and the neighbourhood will only get better with time. Jai hind! Zahid Haroon Javali

NEIGHBOURHOOD NEWS KARNATAKA CM SIDDARAMAIAH THROWS A LIFELINE TO 67,000 UNAUTHORISED PLOTS IN BDA Last month, Chief minister Siddaramaiah announced that his government was keen to regularise the 66,500 “unauthorised plots” in BDA layouts by levying a fee. His statement will cheer up a large number of Bengalureans, who have been hoping for a solution for several years now. The opposition BJP hailed the CM’s announcement although it said, “it is coming on the eve of BBMP polls.” After his city rounds, the CM told reporters that unauthorised buildings had come up on 3,699 acres of land, notified by the BDA, over a period of time. “If we calculate at the rate of 18 plots per acre, we are looking at 66,500 plots that are unauthorised,” he said. The “unauthorised plots” are housed in 68 layouts, including Koramangala, HSR Layout, Pillanna Garden 2nd Stage, BTM 4th-5th Stages, JP Nagar 7th phase, Banashankari 2nd-5th Stages and so on. “These plots were occupied 25-30 years ago,” the CM said. “We cannot demolish homes and evict those people. We are taking legal opinion and thinking of regularising this.” Records showed that the BDA had acquired 17,649 acres of land and formed sites on 12,500 acres. Out of the remaining 5,149 acres, gardens and other institutions occupy 1,450 acres, while BDA treated 3,699 acres of built-up area as unauthorised. When quizzed why the BDA did not act, the CM said it was
possibly because the “BDA was sleeping when this happened.” BJP leader S Suresh Kumar, who is a member of the Petition Committee, said the committee was in favour of regularisation. “They are not illegal squatters,” he said. “They are living there for a long time, have BBMP khatas, and been paying property taxes. They did not surrender their plots and move out after the BDA notified their plots. This is a genuine humanitarian crisis awaiting solution.” The government is keen to regularise these plots as some owners have moved court. There is a provision under the BDA Act to re-convey (regularise with a fine) the unauthorised plots occupied between 1973 and 1986. “Going by existing guidance values, these sites are worth about Rs 6,000 crore,” BDA Commissioner T Sham Bhatt said.

COMING SOON: NO STENCH, ONLY AROMA AT KCDC COMPOST UNIT
The rotten garbage that is piled high in Somasunderpalya, adjacent to HSR Layout, will soon lose its nauseating smell. Not because the compost plant is being shifted elsewhere but because the Karnataka Composting Development Corporation (KCDC) plans to cover the mounds of garbage with artificial aroma. The idea is to put in place a bio filter system spread across 14 acres that will cleanse the air in about three months. The idea is to introduce enzymes into the compost pit that will eliminate the stench-causing bacteria. Large glass windows are being fixed to stop the untreated stench from being released into the atmosphere. Since this is a time-consuming process, the KCDC has imported an odour-control technology from Canada for the
4| July 2015
time being. The anti-smell chemical will be sprinkled over the compost pit every 30 minutes. The result will be a fruity smell that will not make you wrinkle your nose in disgust.

Wassup HSR? TODDLER FOUND DEAD AT KCDC PREMISES
A 10-year-old boy was found dead under mysterious circumstances on the premises of Karnataka Compost Development Corporation (KCDC) in Somasunderpalya last month. The police have identified the boy as M Narasimhamurthy, a resident of Somasunderpalya. He was a school dropout and was doing odd jobs on the premises of KCDC. Varalakshmi, mother of the deceased, who works as a maid, rushed to the spot. Along with some people, she started protesting that the employees at KCDC might have beaten him to death for going near the machines. The people who were protesting demanded immediate arrest of the engineer and senior officers and the shutdown of the plant. Local MLA Satish Reddy rushed to the spot and announced Rs 2 lakh compensation for the deceased’s family. Later, the postmortem report revealed that a huge metal belt of the solid waste management machine hit him on his head, resulting in his death. The fatherless boy often went into the Karnataka Compost Development Corporation (KCDC) factory premises in Somasundarapalya, HSR Layout, to run errands for the staff and earn some petty money. The HSR Layout police have arrested four employees -- supervisor A Muniraju, manager Nagaraj, and machine operators Dharmavaram and Basudevaraya. “Had they not allowed the boy to walk around the machine, the tragedy would not have occurred,” the police officials said.

TREE PLANTATION DRIVE IN HSR
Last month, a Tree Plantation drive was conducted by Jay, in association with SayTrees. Over 50 saplings were planted and a series of plantation drives are planned over the next couple of months to take advantage of the monsoon. Maythri Mahila Koota and a few enthusiastic citizens contributed funds for the latest tree plantation.
TRAFFIC BLUES AROUND HSR
Agara Junction near HSR Layout has a high density of traffic as six to seven roads intersect at this junction. Not a single traffic police official is present at this junction during peak hours and throughout the day. The plight of pedestrians who have to cross the road is unexplainable. The time allowed for crossing the road by the pre-programmed signal is hardly a few seconds. Even then, the vehicle drivers ignore the signal and continue to move. The residents have requested the authorities to depute at least three to four traffic police personnel to monitor the junction throughout the day and avoid traffic snarls. This will also help the

pedestrians cross the road without fear of being run down.
BIKE-BORNE MEN SNATCH CHAIN FROM HOMEMAKER
Two bike-borne miscreants made away with a gold chain from a homemaker near Ganesha Park in HSR Layout police limits last month. According to the police, Shailaja, 55, a resident of Sector I in HSR Layout, was going for a walk near the park when the miscreants came from behind and snatched her chain weighing 55 gram and fled. The public tried to catch the miscreants when she raised an alarm, but in vain. The bike had a Tamil Nadu registration number.

TECHIE’S HOUSE ROBBED, 90GM GOLD VALUABLES LOOTED
An apartment belonging to a software engineer was burgled and valuables weighing 90 grams looted in Bellandur in the wee hours on Sunday last month. The victim, Savitha Jain and her mother-in-law were at her apartment, on the second floor of the multi-storied JM Reddi Royal Apartments. Ms. Jain’s husband is in London on an official tour. At around 4.30am, burglars gained entry into the apartment through the backdoor, which was kept open, and ransacked a wardrobe in the bedroom and made away with the valuables, including gold and two expensive wrist watches. Ms. Jain realised the valuables were looted when she woke up in the morning and noticed the bedroom was ransacked. The police rushed to the spot and conducted investigations. Police suspect that someone known to the family maybe involved in the theft as there was no evidence of forced entry. Also, the burglars entered the apartment through the door of the passage on the backside of the apartment. The burglary occurred despite two security guards being on duty at the apartment. “We have taken the security guards into custody and questioning them besides verifying CCTV footages available in and around the area,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police, (South East) Rohini Katoch Sepat, who is supervising the investigation.

Wassup HSR? WHEN A CROCODILE POPPED UP FROM A BENGALURU POTHOLE Every time rains lash Bengaluru, the city’s roads are washed away and people have to manage with potholes. When people’s complaint to civic authorities about the state of these roads fell on deaf ears, city-based artist Baadal Nanjundaswamy decided that ‘usual’ ways will not be enough, so he put his skills to use. To attract the attention of Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) and Bangalore Water Supply and Sewage Board (BWSSB), the two offices which are in charge of road maintenance, Nanjundaswamy came up with a crocodile-sized idea. The 36-year-old visual artist painted the giant pothole on the Sultanpalya Main Road in north Bengaluru green and placed the life-sized fiber crocodile in it to make it look like a pond. Nanjundaswamy then posted pictures of the crocodile on the road on social media and tagged the BBMP and the Bengaluru traffic police. It took Nanjundaswamy a week to make the crocodile which measures nine feet in length and weighs 18 to 20 kg and costed him Rs 6,000. Nanjudaswamy’s work, as well as his effort, were widely appreciated on social media. “There are the
screaming whistleblowers, protesters, activists on one lane and there is Baadal Nanjundaswamy on the other bringing change silently, differently and creatively!” posted Puneeth Ba on Nanjudaswamy’s Facebook page. “More crocodile ponds will come in Bangalore if this state of road continues,” warned @ Amynove on Twitter. Residents say it is not just the Sultanpalya road that needs a repair, there are other areas in the city which need the authorities’ attention. “The roads are filled with potholes... Avenue road, Majestic, HSR layout (service road), Ejipura, Mosque Road, I can go on,” said Vibha Vasuki, a resident of HSR layout. Sahil Sardana, another resident of HSR layout, said he has complained to the traffic police a number of times but to no avail: “I even said that many cars fell into the ditch. But nothing has been done about it until now.” A glance through Nanjundaswamy’s Facebook timeline tells us that this is not his first attempt in using artwork for civic activism. Last year, he drew a giant ‘Yamaraj’ around a pothole and it was closed within a day.

Indiscriminate tree cutting irks residents ‘Insensitive Bescom staff is chopping and not pruning branches’ By our feature writer
T
Residents can plant a tree and water it until it becomes a fully-grown green beauty. For free saplings and guidance, you can call Trees For Free at 98454-49703.
8| July 2015
he Sector 2 residents of HSR Layout have written to the Superintendent Engineer, South, BESCOM, to evolve a systematic procedure for tree-cutting. As Brigadier RS Murthy (retd) points out, one of the trees that he planted in 2001 had to die an unnatural death because of the callous Bescom staff. “The Margosa and Parijata trees became full-grown trees after eight long years,” says Murthy who is also the President of HSR Layout Sector 2 Residents Welfare Association. “In 2010, the Bescom staff recklessly chops off a couple of branches of both the trees as they were touching the high tension wires. Instead of ‘pruning’ the trees, they ‘cut’ the branches. The parijatha tree subsequently had to be removed as it became completely dead and dry.” It was not an isolated incident. It happened again in October 2014 and June 2015. “It’s a pity that is there is no ownership on the part of Bescom engineers,” says Murthy. “There is total lack of supervision. This is an environmental murder by Bescom. Such frequent cutting de-stabilises the tree and weakens the soil, leading to their eventual death during heavy rains.” It’s time Bescom officials dealt with trees in a cautionary manner. Perhaps a workshop on how to prune a tree’s branches would be apt. Even more apt would be to prune a tree only in consultation with the resident who is immediately affected by it. Some courtesy protocol will go a long way in solving this issue. We urge Assistant Executive Engineer Manjunath and Joint Engineer Jairaj to take cognisance of this and instruct their staff accordingly. Save a tree, save your environment. ResidentsWATCH

hristopher Prakash is all smiles. This 52-year-old is now running eight retail stores spread across South Bangalore. From Jayanagar to Bannerghatta Road to HSR Layout and Sarjapur Road. The success wasn’t easy to come by. He braved the many challenges that High Street retailing has faced so far: malls, Metro wholesale and hypermarkets. Now, when all of that is fading away, it’s the mushrooming of online shopping. “Over time, people will get frustrated and come back to us, like they have done in the past,” says Christopher. “Shopping is a pleasure when you step out of your home and spend time with your family. Nothing can take away the ‘touch and feel’ experience.” Christopher is a survivor and feels online is a passing threat and the fittest offline retailers will not only survive but also do well like he has. And the best part? He does not belong to a business family. “My father was a government servant,” he says. “We come from a poor family. All this only goes to prove that a person can do business and succeed if he has the willpower and fire in the belly.” Christopher began his entrepreneurial journey by selling bags at consumer exhibitions in Mysore and Bangalore. The initial success gave him the confidence to set up his own small bag store in Jayanagar. It turned into a bigger standalone multi-brand showroom. Today, it’s a single brand showroom with several branches in other parts of the city. Selling bags and lingerie in equal measure has taken him this far. Before he became an entrepreneur, Christopher was working at a small jewellery and bag store. Later, he worked at the Crystal Innerwear showroom on Commercial Street. That was way back in 1980. Today, he practically runs the store. The HSR store is home to 25,000 pieces of innerwear from brands like Hanes, Jockey, Amante, Bwitch, Triumph, Lovable, Valentine and Enamor. Christopher has one last mission: To open a store spread over 5000 sq ft where you get all the innerwear brands under one roof. We wish him all the best! July 2015|9

Agara SEZ project: An ecological disaster
Residents oppose the construction and cite several environmental violations
By our feature writer
Wherever there is prime land, the builders team up with the politicians and bureaucrats to usurp princely real estate. The Agara-Bellandur project reminds us of another. Can better sense prevail and the wetland be restored to its original state?
18| July 2015
L
ast month, the residents and resident welfare associations (RWAs) in HSR Layout, Koramangala and Bellandur came together to fight against two massive real estate projects being promoted in the wetland area of Bellandur and Agara lake. The June 7 protest was bang on the pavement outside the project site. The residents are opposing the project for a variety of reasons: 1. The two projects by Mantri Techzone Private Limited and CoreMind Software and Services Limited are coming up in the catchment of Bellandur lake, one of the largest in the city. 2. The water requirements for the project exceed the water supplied by the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board in the whole of Koramangala, HSR Layout and Bellandur areas. ResidentsWATCH
TO ADVERTISE, CALL 98805-85748
This protest was organised by the South East Bangalore Forum for Sustainable Development that comprises RWAs and Citizen groups from Koramangala, HSR Layout and Bellandur. The campaign is also supported by the Namma Bengaluru Foundation. Residents Watch supports this movement of lake preservation and is against unsustainable projects like that of Mantri and CoreMind. May better sense prevail over everybody to contain this ecological disaster waiting to happen.
Purpose of the protest 1. To request/ask Ministry of 3. Ground water will be massively
depleted as a result of this construction. 4. The road and traffic infrastructure in the area will be severely impacted because this is a mammoth project. Adding fuel to the raging fire are the negative reports by different reputable agencies. The Lake Development Authority and the Centre for Environmental Studies at the Indian Institute of Science has recommended the cancellation of this project. The National Green Tribunal has fined Rs 140 crores against the builders and passed severe strictures against the approvals given by the Ministry of Environment and other state government departments. Following repeated protests, the state government has formed a committee under the state pollution control board to look into the environmental violations and suggest workable remedies. The builders have appealed this verdict. In the meanwhile, the Karnataka High Court has also set up a committee headed by the Lake Development Authority to look into ways of preserving and rejuvenating Agara and Bellandur lakes. But the citizens now fear that the builders are pressurising this committee to pass the verdict in their favour. ResidentsWATCH
Environment and Forests, Govt of India to use its powers to cancel clearances accorded to the project promoters.
2. To request/ask Ministry of
Ecology Forests and Environment, Govt of Karnataka to cancel environmental clearances given by them.
3. To ask the KIADB to repossess
allotted land and allot an alternative land parcel on undeveloped area on the outskirts of Bengaluru to the developers in lieu of present site.
4. To remind elected
representatives in the area that the citizens of the area are opposed to this development and will continue to fight tooth and nail against these developments.
5. To ask government agencies to
contest the legal cases vigorously and fight for environmental safeguards instead of favouring the builders lobby.
