Solution to the garbage mess
T
he other day, I happened to meet an old friend well versed in all things civic. He said a bureaucrat told him how to tackle the garbage contractor mess. The only way to avoid irregular pickup of garbage, and mixing garbage by private contractors is to get the BBMP to do the contractors’ job. The moment the BBMP buys autos and equipment, it can have a greater control and responsibility in ensuring that the garbage is picked on time and the segregation is happening at source. A good idea needs to have wings. So I floated the idea to other civic activists in HSR Layout, and relayed it to BBMP Joint Commissioner Muniraju and BBMP Commissioner (Solid Waste Management) Subodh Yadav. Let us hope they act on this splendid idea if they really want to solve this issue that is never getting solved because the contractors and residents are playing truant in equal measure. The plastic ban is having a fallout of sorts. The moment we publicised in our groups and magazine that shopkeepers can buy cloth bags from the government-owned Priyadarshini Handlooms, the stocks ran out. The result was that the stores went back to using plastic carry bags. We suggest all shopkeepers not to rely on Priyadarshini. A long term solution would be to hire local tailors in crafting cloth bags with your name and logo. Similarly, we urge all eateries to ensure that they pack food in aluminium foil containers, cardboard boxes, butter paper pouches, wooden spoons/stirrers/ chopsticks, steel/glass straws, reusable cutlery in steel, bagasse plates and glasses. The next time you go shopping, take your own cloth bags. And when you step out for a takeaway, carry your steel containers. Together, we can make HSR plastic-free. And thereby, the entire city and country. It’s only the beginning of a greater revolution. ‘Like’ us on Facebook to stay updated on HSR Layout: https://www.facebook.com/ResidentsWatch

NEIGHBOURHOOD NEWS CITY MINISTER PROMISES TO LOOK INTO HSR ISSUES
Last month, Residents Watch editor Zahid Javali accompanied members of Hasiru Mithra (Kavitha Reddy, Lalithamba V, Kamesh Rastogi and Rajesh Kumar) for a meet up with city development minister KJ George. We had four things on the memorandum that we submitted to him. Making three main thoroughfares in HSR Layout as TenderSure roads: 5th Main, 14th Main and 27th Main. Getting a cycling track around Agara Lake and also prevent debris dumping on the adjacent Service Road. Getting the garbage contractors to ensure timely garbage pickups and banning plastic across the city. He said the cabinet approval will soon happen on the plastic ban. For the
other issues, he said he would call us again for a detailed meeting. Watch this space.
SECTOR 3 DRAINS WILL BE COVERED SOON
The storm water drains in Sector 3, on 19th Main, 25th Cross and 17th A Main will be raised and covered by cement slabs. The MLA has promised the residents that the work will start soon after the BBMP budget. The residents have also requested him to asphalt 25th Main in Sector 2 and the entire stretch of Somasunderpalya Road and half the stretch of HSR Club Road.

If you want to make a difference in your neighbourhood and want to join the resident activists in their efforts, here are the calendars. See what day and time works for you and join in: facebook.com/ HaSiRuMithra and facebook.com/groups/ hsrcitizenforum. In the meanwhile, Shanthi T and Smita K, the anti-plastic champions of HSR Layout have been instrumental in a ban on plastic carry bags in Banashankari, Shanthinagar, Bommanahalli, Adugodi. An enforcement drive of the ban was also done in Puttenahalli, Basavanagar, last month.
EXPAT JOINS IN
Lex from Seattle, a resident of Sector 1, is doing his bit to clean up the black spot near his house. He single-handedly cleaned up the garbage on 25th A Cross and 25th B Main, and kept a vigil all night. With

the help of Hasiru Mithra members, he later built a bench. “I collected two bags worth of dumped garbage over three days,” he said. “I have started cleaning the adjacent lot too… separating the wet waste and cloth and throwing away three bags of dry waste.” ResidentsWATCH - HSR Layout
Wassup HSR? SEGREGATION WORKSHOPS GALORE
Hasiru Mithra conducted waste segregation workshops at Royal Fashions and Mother Earth factories. There were three sessions covering over 200 employees by residents Lakshmi and Meena. Most of the factory workers said they were segregating into wet and dry but keeping it in plastic bags. The winsome twosome educated them about the ills of plastic lining. Most residents also complained about the BBMP not picking up garbage and demanding money when asked to do so. With this, the team has completed awareness in all the garment factories in Somasunderpalya. The next plan is for factories in Agara. Similarly, a 3-4 hour waste segregation, composting and sustainability workshop was conducted at the Agara Lake premises by HaSiRu Mithra last month. The group has done similar workshops in five parks of HSR Layout.

LACK OF PARKING SENSE
Residents are miffed with the haphazard parking of shoppers on 19th Main in Sector 2. The other day, Lakshmi S found a car bang in the middle of the road, with the driver happily chatting away with his friends near the momos stall. When Lakshmi asked around, the driver quietly went and sat in the car and drove away, while his friends were making fun of her questioning. She did not take it lying down and instead told them that it was not funny. It was a question of civic and road sense. A similar event happened to the editor of Residents Watch opposite a restaurant in JP Nagar. The parked car was blocking half the road. The editor waited for the owner to come out, and he did after about 5 minutes with a takeaway and sat inside the car. Editor Zahid Javali knocked on his window, and with folded hands requested him not to park in this

All the workshops are volunteer-driven with no commercial interest or intent. If you want to know more about what Hasiru Mithra has done so far, visit: http://hasirumithra.blogspot.in/ and https://tinyurl. com/zrv8ada. manner. The perpetrator was visibly embarrassed and said, “I am not too older than you... please don’t fold hands… I will not do this again”. You can try it out, too. Better than being angry with them, which will only prompt them to become negative towards you. If you don’t want to do this, you can take a picture of the vehicle with the licence plate and report the traffic violation on the ‘Public Eye’ phone app or website of the city traffic police (https://tinyurl.com/htneqmz). Safer that way, and you don’t have to get into any argument. Within months, 20,586 complaints were posted and 19,137 complaints resolved.

PRIVATE BUS PARKING ACROSS HSR
Travel agency buses have become quite a nuisance in HSR Layout. Wherever they find some ample space, they park all day and all night, reducing an 80 feet road into a 40 feet road. The most common places where they are found aplenty are on 18th Cross Service Road, 27th Main and 18th Main. Some of the perpetrators include Aditya travels, Janani travels, Jagadamba and many more. Will the traffic department take action on these frequent offenders please?

Wassup HSR? (Continued from Page 6) PARK CLEANUP
The HaSiRu Mithra team of Lalitha, Santhi K, Arathi, Meera, Sowmya, Kavitha, Rajesh, Kamesh, Jeevan, Raghu and Jigna with the BBMP team did a massive cleanup drive of BengaluruOne Park on 24th Main. They cleared the plastic and shifted the leaves compost to another location in the park. Ever since they started a few months ago, Hasiru Mithra has conducted 14 workshops, removed six blackspots, cleaned up one lake, gave a talk at two colleges and 6 garment factories, installed segregation boards in two parks and one college, and door to door segregation awareness drives in Sector 1, 2, 4, 6 and Agara village.
THE MEDIA IN FULL FLOW
After six months of being a private group, the Residents Watch group went public. From December 31, 2015, we included over 15 media persons across print, TV and new media. This was to enable reportage in auto-pilot mode. No need to send specific press releases over everything happening in HSR Layout. The presspersons will pick up what they want from the announcements in the group and they did. Plenty of stories made city headlines, thanks to this new initiative by Residents Watch. No longer are the neighbourhood stories confined to this magazine. It’s going even more public for greater impact and faster redressal of civic issues in HSR Layout. We particularly thank the following media for reporting on the go, including Bangalore Mirror, The Times of India, NDTV, TV9, Deccan Herald, and The Hindu, among others. Together, we can win many battles.
Last month, MLA Satish Reddy (red cap) performed 138 suryanamaskaras at a public event in HSR Layout, BBMP Grounds near Cooljoint junction. The collective public performed 1 lakh suryanamaskars and entered the record books.

Dry leaves collected during last month’s cleanup drive at Sector 7 park being taken for composting to a farm in a separate vehicle BLACK SPOTS: A MYSOREAN’S STRATEGY
After reading about HSR resident’s various civic initiatives, an ex-serviceman from Mysore contacted one HSR resident and had this learning to share. This is their strategy for tackling the garbage black spots by irresponsible citizens in Mysore. 1. Volunteers wait near garbage black spot. Each day, two different faces. 2. When a resident comes to dump garbage at a black spot, they observe, but do nothing. They don’t even take a photo. 3. When the ugly Indian is about to leave after doing his ugly civic deed, one of the volunteers follows him/ her to his/her home or shop - by walk or by two-wheeler. 4. After the ugly Indian goes inside his home and closes the door, the volunteer who followed up, takes a picture of only the door number of the ugly Indian. 5. If it’s a shop, the volunteer enters as a customer, looks around and requests the shopkeeper for his business card; and gets it. 6. The volunteer returns to take a picture of the black spot. 7. All the volunteers pool in to share the latest picture of the black spots and the door numbers or business cards of the ugly Indians. The residents find this strategy more efficient than a fixed CCTV camera. And if the city corporation does not act on the data and levy fine on the ugly Indian,

they send the collected data to the local newspaper to name and shame them.
TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT 19TH MAIN
Syed Imran is asking for a traffic signal for the last one year now at 19th Main, 17th Cross. Check out his video proof of it on YouTube (https://tinyurl.com/ hj7o2rl). “This place is an accident waiting to happen,” he says. “The traffic signal was approved by the city traffic police nine months ago, but no action so far. The worst time at this junction is between 6.30pm and 8.30pm.” Agrees fellow resident Girish S: “Thursdays are worst.”
SECTOR 6 PARK MESS CONTINUES
Ramesh Chandra of Sector 6 is upset that the park adjacent to Lawrence School is hardly maintained. “There are two gates installed by the BBMP. The third gate is given to Lawrence School. And now, there is a fourth gate installed by those who play cricket in the park.” He adds that the fencing was done a year ago but is today in a bad shape. “There is no house for the watchman, no bore well and there is no cleaning of the jogging track,” says Chandra. “I have informed the BBMP Joint Commissioner, Horticulture superintendent, HSR Federation and the corporator, but no action taken so far.”

Cycle track around Agara Lake proposed Will avoid debris dumping and create a space for fitness enthusiasts
By our feature writer
A Editorspeak This simple and highly economical idea is just what every neighbourhood needs to tackle many of the ills plaguing them. Since the area outside the lake comes partially under the BDA and largely under the BBMP, we request minister KJ George to direct the relevant authorities to implement this practical suggestion at the earliest.
14| March 2016
fter a relentless fight by the Agara Lake Protection Society, the state government has allocated funds and approved the revival and rejuvenation plan for Agara Lake which comes under Lake Development Authority (LDA). Given the massive construction debris dumped on the service road adjacent to the lake, the residents have petitioned the HSR traffic police to install barricades along the entire 200-metre stretch that can only allow 2-wheelers and stop the entry of vehicles dumping the debris. In addition, the residents have now proposed a cycling track on the pavement surrounding the lake. A letter to this effect was endorsed by Residents Watch and given by Kaagaz Foundation to Bangalore development minister KJ George. The logic is simple. Since the pavement is not used by pedestrians (there are three main roads surrounding the lake), it can be turned into a 3-km cycling track. Not only will this move avoid debris dumping but also give muchneeded space for cycling enthusiasts in and around the lake. “With barricades at regular intervals and constant use of the cycling track, the debris dumping will stop,” says Sector 1 resident Kavitha Reddy. “The cycling track will also increase the visual effect for the lake and go a long way in ensuring cleanliness both inside and outside the lake area.” ResidentsWATCH - HSR Layout

Somasunderpalya Lake revival MLA, MP, BBMP and NGO pitch in to help
MLA Satish Reddy with MP Kupendra Reddy discussing the lake plan By Zahid H Javali
T
here’s something about HSR Layout and its residents. Every time, they take up something, it takes centrestage. And all of this began with the KHHSP RWA and Residents Watch-sponsored massive protest against the Karnataka Compost Development Corporation plant in Somasunderpalya. Over 1000 people turned up on October 31, 2015 and signed a petition to either shift the KCDC or stop the ground water and air contamination caused due to unscientific processing of garbage. Today, the processing has come down from 350 tonnes a day to 60 tonnes a day and efforts are being made to take up odour control technology that works to prevent foul order in the 2-km radius of the plant. Importantly, resident Anis Padela who is singlehandedly fighting the case against the KCDC in High Court, has been made part of the BBMP

supervisory committee on KCDC. Adjacent to the KCDC is the highly polluted Somasunderpalya Lake, thanks to the KCDC letting its effluents into it over many years. Currently, the lake is with the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA). The KHHSP Residents Welfare Association has requested the BDA to hand it over to the BBMP for its revival work. MLA Satish Reddy and MP Kupendra Reddy have expressed interest in doing their bit to ensure that the lake revival and beautification happens soon. Spread over 16 acres and 29 guntas, the District Collector’s office has to resurvey the lake area and recover the encroached land by KCDC and BBMP. MLA Satish Reddy pressed his earthmovers into action to remove the debris and level the land around the lake. In the meanwhile, MP Kupendra Reddy is engaging a water expert to prepare a plan on cleansing the lake without desilting ResidentsWATCH - HSR Layout
to make the lake revival more economical. Bommanahalli BBMP’s Joint Commissioner Muniraju is getting a design done to revive the lake as well. The lake team is also interacting with an NGO that expressed interest in contributing towards developing the lake and conducted a spot inspection too.
The steps to be taken…
1. BDA should hand over the lake to the BBMP. 2. Fencing to be done as per the survey report
around the lake.
3. Reduce the width of the lake entrance and
install a gate, restricting entry of vehicles dumping garbage and debris. 4. Convert the triangular zone into a mini forest by fencing and planting trees. 5. Remove debris, carve out a jogging track and plant trees on both sides of the path with benches to sit. 6. Repair the broken parts of the fence. 7. Remove debris in the area where encroachment has been removed. 8. Plan to remove floating garbage inside the lake. 9. Tree plantation drive around the lake. 10. And to do all of the above, there has to be a Detailed Project Report (DPR) that either the BDA or BBMP has to prepare. “The residents in and around the lake are facing serious health problems due to the bad condition of the lake,” says Lalithamba V of KHHSP RWA. “A good lung space and rain water harvesting zone is now a pool of dirty & polluted water surrounded by heaps of debris and garbage. Since the lake area is not fully fenced, it’s being used as a parking area for cabs and autos, making it difficult for the residents to use the lake area for walking or recreation.” ResidentsWATCH - HSR Layout
The story so far…
1. KCDC is not doing soil capping as the residents
feared late last month. The KCDC gave a letter to the Indian Institute of Science asking for their suggestions on how to remove the black piles of waste and address the soil-capped toxic waste. 2. Joint Commissioner has already asked for a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the complete revival of the lake. Both the MP and MLA funds will be used for this in addition to the BBMP’s coffers as well. 3. Once the DPR is ready in March, the BBMP will deliberate on it with the residents and ask the BDA to hand over the lake to the BBMP. 4. The residents will keep up the pressure and meet the district collector for the final lake land survey report. The residents will also meet city development minister KJ George and push for additional funds. 5. For setting up a sewage treatment plant in the lake, the residents have suggested to include the flow from the underground drains, so that sewage up to 2 million litres a day can be treated.

Do it yourself
How to change name on BESCOM bill without bribe
Text: Aman Mujawar. Pic: Shree DN
I
am a resident of Belathur in Kadugodi (Whitefield) area. Being a new apartment buyer, I started looking for getting things done, such as Electricity name change, Khata registration and others. I was surprised when the builder offered to get the name change in electricity metres done by paying bribe, without me having to visit any government office. He demanded Rs 2,000. But here is how I got it done myself for just Rs 600.
The prerequisites
1. Take a printout of this Bescom form: https:// tinyurl.com/zbglprv
22| March 2016
2. Get signature on the NOC for Name change
(Form IV in above downloaded form) from present owner of meter. The NOC should be from the person who features as Vendor on your sale deed.
3. Go to the place where EB Meters are placed,
find your meter and take a photo of your meter on your phone, make sure that serial no, make of the meter and the reading is visible clearly. If it does not show reading, please press the black button a couple of times until it displays the meter reading. Take a black and white printout of this photo and preserve the photo in your mobile. This is needed to get the page 2 entries (For Office Use only page) filled by the BESCOM assistant engineer. ResidentsWATCH - HSR Layout
4. Two bonds need to be purchased – indemnity
bond & power agreement. BESCOM requires the applicants to provide these bonds along with the application. These can be purchased from shops near BESCOM offices or some electrical shops. Cost: Rs 200 (Indemnity) + Rs 200 (Power Agreement) + Rs 50 Charges. Total: 450
5. Certified/Notarised Sale Deed -- If SBI/Other
Bank Loan, go to RACPC/ bank branch with two copies of sale deed and get them certified from the bank. They do this without any charge. If LIC-Loan/Others, I heard LIC is refusing to certify and asking for hefty amount. Please get the copies certified by a Notary/LIC.
6. Purchase a paper file with clip inside. Punch all the docs along with latest EB bill at the top (must be paid already). Please fill the forms. If you are not sure of something, leave the space empty.
The next steps
1. Go to nearest BESCOM Sub-division Office.
Meet AE/JE and get the documents and file verified. You just need to sign/stamp on page FOR OFFICE USE ONLY. Show him the printout of the photo of the meter, from which he can get the details and fill the entries, sign and stamp on Page 2 (Office Use Only).
2. Submit the file in BESCOM office. If your
BESCOM subdivision is a small centre, they ask you to visit the nearby main BESCOM centre.
Show the file and get it verified. You will be asked to pay Rs 100 as transfer fee, in the cash counter for which you will get an acknowledgement. Please visit the BESCOM Office before opening time in advance, to avoid the huge rush at the cash counter. Once the transfer fee is paid, file needs to be submitted. Please write your RR No and name on the file. To be on the safer side, please take snaps of your application with your mobile. Once the application file is submitted, it will take a month for your name to reflect on BESCOM website and on your bill. If your name does not appear, please visit the office again and enquire. You may call BESCOM hotline 1912 for the status. Total Expenses: Transfer fee: Rs 100; Indemnity Bond +Power Agreement +Charge = Rs 200 + Rs 200 + Rs 50 (extra charges) = Rs 350; Cardboard file: Rs 10. Total: Rs 560. One thing I learnt is not to talk to people standing outside offices, or on stairs. They could be brokers who can read your faces. You should not give up or feel worried at any point. The worst thing that can happen from trying on your own is the work may be slightly delayed, but it’s bound to be completed successfully. This was an enriching experience, to get the work done without any bribe, and I feel all should do it on their own. © Oorvani Foundation/Open Media Initiative.

aSiRu Mithra in association with Residents Watch, Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) and Bangalore Political Action Committee (BPAC) has initiated the Green Champion Awards to mark World Environment Day on June 5. The last date for filing the nominations is April 19, 2016. This is the first edition of the award meant to recognise and honour households who are doing their bit for the environment by segregating waste and additionally composting wet waste in their homes, thereby reducing the waste output substantially. The city generates over 4500 tonnes of waste a day. However, 60% of this waste can be composted and 30% can be recycled. If this is done, BBMP can save over Rs 400 crore a year on waste management. Not to mention, saving the environment. Terms & Conditions All households in HSR Layout Ward 174 are eligible. Incomplete applications will be rejected. Applications can be filled in Kannada or English only. One application per household, in the case of individual houses. One application for the entire apartment block in case of apartments. The awards have four categories: Waste Segregation (Households), Waste Segregation (Apartments), Waste Segregation + Composting (Households) and Waste Segregation + Composting (Apartments). The winning households/buildings/apartments will be picked through a lottery system on June 5, 2016 at a public gathering. Each Sector/Division will have three winners. Best of luck. May the best neighbour win. ResidentsWATCH - HSR Layout
