I
Setting the agenda for the MLA
am a 40-year-old journalist who has spent the last two decades in the service of society. I have highlighted the petty politics of politicians, bureaucrats, businessmen and government officials as City Editor of MiDDay newspaper in Bangalore. I have also spotlighted innumerable good Samaritans who have kept the delicate balance going as Chief of Bureau at Explocity, powered by Rupert Murdoch’s NewsCorp. And I will remain part of this Fourth Estate to keep a close watch on every important development in the world. The point of this spiel? To reassure corporator Latha N Murthy and MLA Satish Reddy that I am not going to enter politics anytime soon or in the distant future. My job is to be out of the system, so I can cast an impartial eye and create public awareness. Therefore, the seat is still yours, Mr Reddy. Now please act on these suggestions for a model HSR Layout without any further delay.
THE WISHLIST • Remove all the labour camps and thereby usher in cleanliness, hygiene and order. • Fix all the footpaths, so pedestrians can stay away from roads and be safe. • Issue demolition orders for all structures that violate the law and also deter future offenders. • Crack the whip on all erring government officials and keep the corporator on a leash. • Create a Whatsapp number where people can send their complaints that automatically show up on the MLA’s website, so it’s transparent and people know if action is being taken. • Go on surprise visits to every area and see the problems by yourself and initiate action. • Ensure all the funds given for the area, including the MLA fund, is properly utilised for the purpose it was intended. • Discard appeasement and votebank politics. • Make use of technology to keep tabs on every department to ensure transparency, accountability and efficiency. • Be humble and always work for the betterment of society. Mr Reddy, if you can’t implement the above, it’s time you resigned for the greater good. Today’s generation wants results in double quick time. Don’t forget that the BJP was voted to power on the plank of development and good governance. Your party failed in the last nine months and lost Delhi. Keep at it and BJP will lose India. I only pray that good sense prevails and you take the path less travelled. Good luck! Zahid Haroon Javali

TREE WALK
Last month, a nature walk was organised in HSR layout as part of the Neralu – Bengaluru Tree festival (neralu.in). The walk led by Ajit Ampalakkad began from MK Retail on 17th Cross at 7.30am.
Giving them company along the route were praying mantises, wasps, ants, birds and trees. They were able to identify 27 types of trees such as the African Tulip, Banyan tree, Pride of India and All-Spice Tree. Photo courtesy: Sivakumar.
CYBERHOOD POLICING IN HSR
To contain the growing crime including mugging and house break thefts in and around HSR Layout, the city police have launched Cyberhood policing. As part of the new initiative, the city police have installed 17 CCTV cameras at sensitive locations which can be monitored by the police and the local watch committee, round the clock. As many as 50 local residents have been selected for cyberhood policing initiative, who can coordinate with the police to enhance round the clock security.

SIX-MONTH ORDEAL IN A REALTY SCAM
A few months ago, when Anand P (33), a software programmer, and his wife were on their way to HSR Layout, they saw a home fair and ended up paying an advance of Rs 1 lakh to book a flat being sold cheaply. Since there was the provision to cancel the booking any time, Anand bought into it. But thanks to his friends, he soon realised that the builder was a scamster. The phase one of the project which he claimed was a sell-out was not approved by either the BDA or the BBMP. It took Anand six months to get his money back as the cheques had bounced. Anand is not alone in this. In fact, people have suffered worse and lost their life-savings to such frauds. Advocates who have fought such cases say most cheating cases have direct or indirect involvement or backing of local politicians. In some cases, the politicians obtain an affidavit from the BDA/BBMP to transfer the property worth crores in their name leaving the buyers in the lurch. Cases of builders vanishing after switching off their phones are many. When such cases reach consumer courts, the builder makes it a point to pay the deposit amount to the buyer and escapes. What about the time wasted by the buyer and interest on the money invested? Stringent punishment for builders and land owners involved in such cases will go a long way in addressing the problem. But who will push for such legal reforms when the fence is eating the crop?

UNSCIENTIFIC HUMPS GALORE
Motorists want the BBMP to remove unscientific humps in HSR Layout. Many have complained that the underside of their four wheelers were damaged. And many two wheeler riders have complained that it has led to many close shaves and heated arguments because of abrupt stoppages at these humps, particularly during early mornings and late nights. Such humps are found in abundance on 17th Main Road, ResidentsWATCH
27th Main, 17th Cross, 14th Main and 5th Main. Will the BBMP Traffic Vigilance Cell take up the construction of scientific road humps? The traffic police needs to give permission for them to do so. Will that happen immediately please as the BBMP has Rs 65 lakh to address this problem in Bangalore. The residents themselves are responsible in constructing such humps to prevent rash driving. But atleast they could do it in consultation with the traffic police or paint zebra stripes on it or install reflectors. If they continue to do half-hearted jobs, the residents are digging their own grave.
VOLUNTARY BLOOD DONATION

BOMMANAHALLI TO GET POLICE STATION; HSR TO GET TRAFFIC
Bommanahalli will soon have a police station of its own. More than 2,500 crimes take place in Bommanahalli every year. The area is home to major IT companies, educational institutes and real estate projects. The affluent residents attracted the attention of criminals, police said. The state government has also ordered the setting up of a traffic police station in HSR Layout. Till now, the area fell under Madiwala traffic police station.

WOMAN GROPED TWICE IN THE DARK
A 23-year-old woman working in a tech firm in the city was allegedly groped two times by a scooter borne youth in sixth sector HSR Layout last month. When she went to the police, instead of giving her an assurance that the youth would be nabbed, the cops told her that despite all clues and evidences, it would be difficult to solve the case as she did not have the perpetrator’s
blood donors were given a certificate of appreciation and a bookmark with a picture of Mahatma Gandhi with his quotes on various subjects.
STOLEN CARS RECOVERED
The HSR Layout police have recovered two cars worth Rs 25 lakh and arrested a 35-year-old man in this connection. Bhojraj Singh, a resident of HAL, was arrested based on a tip-off. Singh, who was employed as a driver for a person named Narasimha-murthy made away with his car in the HSR Layout police limits. He followed a similar modus operandi and made away with another car from the HAL police limits.

WOMAN SPIKES GULAB JAMOON, STEALS JEWELS
Swapna, 38, a resident of Muneshwara Layout, RT Nagar, went to the house of her former colleague, Lakshmesh of Bellandur, on February 2 and introduced herself to his wife Shantha. When Shantha called up her husband, he confirmed that Swapna was working with him and asked her to offer Swapna tea, said DCP (southeast) Rohini Katoch Sepat. Swapna gave Shantha the gulab jamoon she brought with her. Both Shantha and her child ate the sweets and lost consciousness. Swapna then stole gold jewellery from the cupboard and escaped. HSR Layout police got Swapna’s address from the car dealer and arrested her from her house.

Property matters
Metro brings much cheer All parts of Bangalore benefit from it
By our correspondent / CC photos courtesy PL Tandon
Better connectivity always results in the property prices shooting up. And it’s already evident in the first phase of Metro Rail. But as this becomes a reality in the years to come, all the immovable properties closest to its trajectory will record a high price.
8| March 2015
A
fall-out of the Namma Metro project has been to push the real estate sector upwards. All along the metro lines, the areas that cover the train route are experiencing a never-before boost in realty rates. In South Bangalore region, the beneficiaries of land prices have been Jayanagar, JP Nagar, Banashankari, Koramangala and Sarjapur Road. With the Namma Metro Phase I, areas that experienced the surge in property rates include MG Road, Indiranagar, Byappanahalli and CV Raman Nagar. Even Malleswaram, Peenya, Mysore Road and Vijay Nagar have seen a boom in realty. BMRCL (Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited), the body responsible for the implementation of the metro rail, ResidentsWATCH

has planned a coverage of 42.30 km of area. The project, which is slated to be completed by April 2016, will have two corridors being developed. The East-West corridor covering an area of 18.10 km, will have 16 stations. Starting from Byappanahalli in the east, it extends up to Outer Ring Road Nayandanahalli intersection on Mysore Road in the west. The second corridor, the North-South corridor, covering about 24.20 km of area, will have 24 stations. Starting from Hesarghatta Cross on Tumkur Road in the north, it will extend up to Puttenahalli Cross (Kanakapura Road) in the south. The areas that are direct beneficiaries of being in the right place at the right time include Whitefield, Marathahalli, KR Puram, Old Madras Road in the east zone; Yeshwanthpur, Tumkur Road, Malleswaram, Vijaynagar, Rajajinagar in the west zone; Hebbal, Hennur, Bellary Road, Thanisandra, Yelahanka, Jakkur, Banaswadi in the north zone; and Koramangala, Bannerghatta Road, HSR Layout, Sarjapur Road, Jayanagar, Electronic city, JP Nagar, Kanakapura Road in the south zone. The proposed Phase II of Namma Metro is planned to be completed by 2019. This will extend up to 72.10 km. Not only will this include the extension of all four reaches

of Phase I, but also the construction of two new lines. Once the Phase II is implemented fully, it will make a huge difference to improvement in the overall connectivity within the city. The impact of Namma Metro is already visible in central Bangalore. Land prices here continue to record vertical growth in the middle and high-end segments of the realty market. There is a 37% appreciation in capital values in upmarket localities with a boom of mushrooming new building and housing projects. The north-west suburbs specifically saw a record appreciation of 95%, owing to its strategic proximity to the Bangalore International Airport. The location and the growing demand from IT professionals for upscale housing have been the major drivers behind the growth in the realty business of Bengaluru. The profile of the customers has also undergone a perspective shift. They are not just home buyers but also smart investors. The astonishing rate of real estate development and the booming prices can be seen as running parallel with the metro line tracks across the city. Boom, boom Bangalore indeed. Just remember that the sites, villas or apartments you are buying are BDA, BBMP or BMRDA approved and the area is not short of water.

Resident activist
‘Asphalt the roads and maintain the drains’
The immediate wishlist of HM Javali, General Secretary, 3rd Sector Welfare Society
By our correspondent
HM Javali is campaigning for HSR Layout for almost a decade. His no-nonsense approach might have upset the corporator and MLA, but he is loved by the residents because everything he does is in public interest. One Javali in every residents welfare association is all you need to make a difference in Bangalore and India.
18| March 2015
H
aroon Ahmed M Javali, better known as HM Javali, is 69 going on 29. That’s the zest he brings to the job at hand as the General Secretary of HSR Layout 3rd Sector Welfare Society and the Chief Advisor to Residents Watch. He was also the former Secretary General of the Federation of HSR Layout Residents Welfare Association. That’s not all. He worked with the Indian Air Force as a Radio Technician and regular combatant for 15 years and has fought two wars, the 1965 Indo-Pak war and the 1971 Bangla Conflict. He worked with the Karnataka Government Secretariat (Vidhana Soudha) for 22 years before retiring as a Section Officer. During that period, he was the Personal Assistant to two ministers. His family is just as notable. His father Magdum Husein ResidentsWATCH

Javali was the President of Dharwad District Municipal Borough and his younger brother Iqbal M Javali was the Mayor of HubliDharwad Municipal Corporation for two terms. What are the achievements under your tenure as the secretary of 3rd Sector RWA from 2005-2013 and again from 2014 to now? We were able to save a playground from being given to Supreme Court judges to build a housing colony. We were helped by all the other sectors in filing a PIL and winning it after six years. The Federation of HSR Layout RWAs played a key role in collecting funds from all the seven sectors. It was a team effort that will remain a historical achievement for HSR residents. The full-fledged twin park in Sector 3 that you see today because of our efforts was an open-air lavatory ten years ago. Another park in Sector 3 was earlier a dhobi ghat. After much persuasion and effort since 2007, the Youth Empowerment & Sports Department has now levelled the grounds to make way for a sports stadium. We have proposed a swimming pool of international standards for public use. The first awareness campaign about segregation of garbage in HSR Layout was done by our association led by Dr Shanthi Tummala. Today, almost 90% of garbage segregation happens in our sector. The maintenance of street lights and installation of sodium vapour lamps in 3rd Sector is personally monitored by me for the last nine years. In many places, the water and sanitary lines were not laid by the BDA. We pressurised the BWSSB and got these done. What is your biggest grouse against the corporator and MLA? The non-asphalting of roads in 3rd Sector for the last 7-8 years and the non-maintenance of storm water drains. What do you like about HSR Layout? The many number of parks situated here. They spread the noble fragrance of peace and contentment, thereby contributing to the health and hygiene of all. I also admire the recovered playground in Sector-2 and the sports complex ground in Sector-3 as these will be the only open spaces for our future ResidentsWATCH
generation in HSR Layout. And what don’t you like? The illegal commercial structures that have come up in public places. What’s more annoying is that they have the support of local politicians and government officials. What’s your wishlist for Sector 3? The construction of public toilets, asphalting of roads, the immediate filling up of road cuttings, the construction of culverts wherever there are water blockages, repairing and desilting of storm water drains, covering of drains on 17th A Main to avoid flooding during the rainy season, eviction of the labour camp that has come up behind Kukke Subramanya mutt and the removal of pigs and stray dogs whose numbers have gone up in the area.

Civic unrest
Playground recovered in Sector 2 But when will the labour camp in Sector 3 go away?
(left to right) MLA Satish Reddy, HM Javali & BNR Reddy
By our correspondent
A Have the politicians come in the way of removing the labour camp? Is this a votebank they want to capitalise on for the upcoming corporation elections? Will corporator Latha Murthy and MLA Satish Reddy dismiss such aspersions by taking swift action and rid the area of this open-air lavatory?
ResidentsWATCH
fter six years of fighting a legal battle, the residents won a case in the Karnataka High Court and recovered a playground in Sector 2 spread over seven acres and 19 guntas. Last month, the playground was formally thrown open to the public. This was after the playground was cleaned up of any remnants from the proposed Judges Colony: debris and incomplete structures. MLA Satish Reddy and corporator Latha N Murthy promised that efforts will be made to turn this into a public playground of repute. Labour camp While that is good news, the petition to the BDA by the 3rd Sector Welfare Society to remove the labour camp behind Kukke Subramanya Mutt hasn’t materialised yet. This is, after a request was given by the association many months ago. BDA Executive Engineer Rezwan Baig had said that action would have to be taken because the residents wanted it. But nothing is done so far. Cool Joint & Median Park And when will the illegal Cool Joint in Sector 3 be demolished and the area behind it recovered? The Saibaba temple came up illegally more than a year ago despite resident protests. What about the rest of the median park that isn’t encroached, Mr MLA? Are you planning to build a mosque and a church now to show that you are secular? These kind of communal politics should be dispensed with. BJP has learned its lesson in Delhi. It’s about time you do, too. March 2015|23

Though this play has all the qualities to be called as one of Shakespeare’s romantic comedies, the approach in which each character in the play tries to find his own self and personality in this world makes it that much more special.

wheelers. In an age and time where businesses and service providers lack sensitivity, he lends an ear to customer requests. Ninestar is an authorised dealer for sales, service and spares for the domestic range of Suzuki two wheelers in Bangalore. “We take time to listen to the customer’s needs and problems,” says Dharma, a resident of Sarjapur Road for the last two years. “It is not that we can meet customers’ demands all the time. But the fact that we listen is appreciated by them.” Dharma comes from a family of farmers. It was his father who broke the agricultural spell. “He was a central government employee who took voluntarily retirement to start his own fleet operations and group financing in Hyderabad back in 1989,” he says. His mission is to make Ninestar, a model dealership for two wheelers and develop the group into a brand that can be trusted to meet customer expectations. Helping him towards that goal are a few working principles. “Every day is a new day,” he says. “Nothing lasts for a long time. I don’t rest on my past laurels. What got me here, won’t get me there. There is good in everyone and I try to identify them.” Currently, Ninestar has two branches at Sarjapur Road (near Total Mall) and Hosur Main Road (near Hosa Road junction). More will be added as the need arises. We wish him the very best in all his future endeavours.
