60 CCTV cameras and counting... In January, MLA Satish Reddy announced that 100 CCTV cameras covering the whole of HSR Layout would be installed. When asked last month, the MLA confirmed that 60 CCTVs were installed and more are being installed. Additionally, in the last week of June, the police department themselves installed 15 CCTVs in HSR Layout. This is going to be a great move to curb crime and even help the authorities come up with solutions to the traffic and parking issues being faced by the residents. Wifi has also begun its service after the initial glitch, according to the MLA. If you are at BDA complex, you can make the most of it. You get one hour free wifi every 24 hours, after which it's paid for.
‘Illegal floors will be demolished’ MLA Satish Reddy has now promised the residents that he will take action on buildings that are six floors and above. He said that he is against buildings that violate the norms with impunity. Lets hope he sends a strong signal to the builders of houses, so future violations are prevented. According to the building bylaws, a house can only be built on ground and two floors. If the ground floor is kept for parking, then it's ground and three floors. If it's underground, then it's again just ground and two floors. So any house that is violating this rule is in the wrong.
Get fined for not segregating The BBMP is getting tougher with those who violate the dry and wet waste rules. The other day, they fined a household for littering with plastic and not segregating the garbage. A fine of Rs 5000 was imposed in Sector 4. “Hope the people now understand segregation and responsible disposal of waste created by them in HSR locality,” says resident Karunaprasad Kanavi. We want the BBMP to get all the eateries occupying the footpath vacated and stop any eatery from taking up space near the McDonald’s junction. People park their car on the road to have a cigarette from this shop. We urge MLA Satish Reddy and Joint Commissioner Veerabhadraswamy to stop residences from being used as commercial spaces, and demolish buildings violating all the laws of the land. Health inspector Vinod did take some action after Residents Watch requested him to take action on encroachments. The footpath encroachments on 24th Main, 27th Main and KEB circle were removed by his BBMP team. However, our long pending request to remove the footpath encroachment of The Mughal’s, Arya Bhavan and Flavours are yet to happen. Will MLA Satish Reddy get the BBMP to take action and also demolish the illegal Nandini Cool Joint building please? For those not in the know, this building has come up on the wrong survey number. Further, KMF, its parent company, is operating a restaurant on the first floor which is again illegal. 6 July 2017 RESIDENTSWATCH.IN
How to solve the water crisis If you live in an apartment, reuse the Sewage Treatment plant water. Says resident Shashidhara K: "You can also reuse the rain water in the storage tank, fix aerators in all taps to stop excess water going wasted, install low flow shower heads, stop car wash and front yard washing, drip irrigate your farms and gardens. These are a must during this crisis." Mahaveer Seasons Apartment has installed aerators. When will you?

Pets not allowed
Residents get Bescom to fix a road
Dog owners are hereby requested to avoid walking their dogs inside public parks. They are not only a nuisance but downright dangerous too. Just last month, one such pet owner set his dog free and created mayhem. The children and the ladies panicked, prompting the other walkers to come to their rescue. Please note that pets are not allowed inside parks. If you spot such a pet owner, you know what to tell them.
Residents led by Kamesh Rastogi, Lalitha and Arathi stopped Bescom officials who had dug up half the road to fix a power outage issue. Their complaint was that the road was laid just two days ago after several years of waiting. The workers behaved rudely and then traffic inspector Rao Ganesh responded to the residents' plea, rushed to the spot and took the workers to the police station. Soon, Bescom senior officials promised that the road would be properly asphalted the next day. Ofcourse, it never happened. But the residents didn't lose heart. Both Kamesh and Lalitha kept following up with the authorities and got the road fixed in two weeks. Where there is a will and a vigilant public, much can be achieved. It's time we took ownership of our neighbourhood. Then, no official or errant neighbour can get away scot free.
The real ‘blackspots’ are people The Agara stretch on the other side of 14th Main Road near Greenview hospital was beautified recently by resident activists. It now wears a red hue and the dumping has come down a bit. However, Dr Shanthi Tummala watched in dismay as one lady travelling in an auto nonchalantly threw a bag beside the Agara lake stretch. Shanthi stops her at the flyover junction and makes her go back by auto and pick up her trash. "She said since the garbage auto comes late and she has to rush to work, she did it this way. "We tell her to keep her garbage at the door for the pickup," recalls Shanthi. "I followed her to find out where she disposes off the garbage. And soon enough, I catch her throwing it in the storm water drain in Sector 4. This time around, I call the health inspector who fines her Rs 100. She works as a maid. I hope she learns a lesson and never repeats this."
‘Bescom, install timers’ Residents are complaining that streetlights are glowing even during the day in many parts of HSR Layout. “Bescom must have automated timers or entrust their staff to turn them off and save electricity,” suggest one resident.

500 citizens apply for BBMP Ward Committees Efforts to mobilise citizens to apply for ward committee membership have gained splendid traction in the last few weeks. Last month, Residents Watch published a draft letter that people can use to apply for the committee. Aided by citizens’ groups like Lanchamukta Karnataka Nirmana Vedike (LMKNV), Citizens for Bengaluru (CfB) and B.PAC, more than 500 citizens have applied for ward committee membership. According to a High Court order, the corporation can nominate the members and not the corporator. So citizens can write directly to the BBMP Commissioner for consideration. Activists have also asked the BBMP to give preference to non-political citizens and representation be given to the urban poor, women, youth and all areas of the ward and consider suggestions made by non-governmental organisations and RWAs should be considered. They have also suggested the BBMP and state government to streamline the process of forming ward committees in the future. The laws need to be amended to "incorporate a democratic process for making nominations to ward committees by calling for applications and objections", the letter said. Further, the applications need to be scrutinised by a select committee of distinguished citizens. The finalisation of ward committees in all the 198 wards is awaiting approval of the BBMP Commissioner. Residents are now looking forward to the submission of the final list of ward committee members to the High Court. They expect that many ‘citizen’ applicants will find a place in BBMP Ward Committees.
Alam Construction cheats people Neyaz Alam and Mohamed Nayeem Alam, the proprietors of Alam Construction, were ordered by the district consumer forum on Jan 5, 2015 to refund Rs 6 lakh to Mahaveer Seasons Association (MSFOA) in Sector 2 for not doing a proper job of roof-top water proofing. But the construction company is yet to implement the court summons. "As of today, there is a court summon to catch both the partners in crime, Neyaz Alam and Mohamed Nayeem Alam, but the cops claim that they are not available at the address provided by the court," says a former secretary of the association. "The registered letters to the company addresses are not being accepted and are going undelivered." The irony of it all? "Many residents of Mahaveer apartment have seen Mr Neyaz Alam in the vicinity of HSR Layout quite often and it’s quite evident that this bogus company is running with the help of law enforcers. The law must help the citizens to nab the culprits. Justice delayed is justice denied."
'He's corrupt, lazy, inefficient' BBMP assistant executive engineer Venkatesh has made many residents livid with anger. They complain that he's lazy, least responsive and allege large-scale corruption on his part. When the residents complained to MLA Satish Reddy last month and raised a huge ruckus, he said that he will have him removed within a fortnight. We could expect the good news anytime.

Garbage issues galore Most of the garbage from the city is turning quarries outside the city into landfills. “Once these quarries are full, the garbage will be on the streets,” warns resident Kavitha Reddy. “Unless we have a clear destination and enable process-driven contracts, things will not change. Bangalore is the only city where it is the garbage mafia ruling the city. BBMP has to build 40% of its own capacity to manage garbage collection directly so that the mafia gets a warning and is weakened. If BBMP decides to handle even two zones directly, the mafia will fall in line. More than Rs 600 crore is spent annually on garbage. It is a crime, really. Even landfills could be made scientific, if your objective is only to dump waste.” Adding to the argument is resident scientist RS Hiremath: “The idea of dumping waste in quarries is a sure-shot disaster. The leachate from garbage will seep into our ground water resources through the rock faults and pollute them beyond repair. It may not be visible at all initially, but just like cancer, it will be noticeable when it has reached critical levels. The BBMP is surely exercising a hare-brained idea and are quietly escaping now. Our children will be the worst affected.”
Piped gas. Still a pipe dream?
Several central and state ministers inaugurated the Piped Natural Gas project in HSR Layout last month. However, it will still take another six to eight months for the HSR project to be fully operational. Sector 5 pipe laying work has not even begun yet and the residents are complaining. BWSSB in the dock Which is also why Gail Gas is only charging Last month, resident Kavitha Reddy was shocked an application fee of Rs 100 and registration to see a BWSSB van emptying sewage into a storm fee of Rs 300. Initially, a refundable security water drain in Sector 4. She reported it to the deposit of Rs 5,000 was to be paid to them, higher authorities and they are yet to take action. but since the connections took significant But the larger truth is that if you spot sewage in a time, you can now pay only when your storm water drain, the BWSSB could well be the connection is operational. culprit across the city. Here are the pictures to PNG is cheaper than LPG. If the price of one convey the sorry state of affairs. 14.2kg LPG cylinder (subsidised) is Rs 451 while the cost of PNG is proposed by GAIL to be Rs 330. Therefore, those who are now getting subsidised LPG cylinders can enjoy the benefit of Rs 121 per month, whereas the non-subsidised LPG holders (Rs 640) can save Rs 310 per month. Barring two fire incidents involving Gail Gas in Mangammanapalya and Electronic City, there have been no instances in and around HSR Layout. While some apartments in Somasundrapalya and a few individual houses in HSR have received their gas connections, several more are yet to get it.

HSR’s many eyesores 100 CCTV cameras
Residents stop Airtel workers from digging and even level up the road themselves
for HSR residents
By ZAHID H JAVALI
HSR Layout is in a mess. No sooner has a new road been laid and there is a gang of workers turning up to cut through the road. The BWSSB does it to lay the Cauvery water pipe and doesWRITER a shoddy job of fixing the eyesore. By OUR FEATURE But even worse are the optic fibre cabling companies like Airtel and Reliance who are wrecking havoc on the roads. To build a kilometre of road, it costs Rs 3 crore. Now imagine such a road being wrecked by these companies with impunity. Any road that was laid within a year cannot be dug according to a notice by the BBMP commissioner dated July 20, 2015. However, resident Dr Ravindran found workers cutting up the road diagonally opposite 22nd Cross in Sector 3. When he asked them to show the approvals, the workers showed him the papers that had names of roads in a laundry list across Bangalore, and in most cases, not mentioning the area to which they belonged. Importantly, the permission letter issued by the BBMP chief engineer clearly stated that newly asphalted roads are not to be touched by OFC companies. And yet, they were indulging in the illegal act. HSR residents like Suresh Bhaskaran, Karunaprasad Kanavi and Dr L Ravindran have stopped such works and demanded permission letters. You can do too. And Suresh has even gone to the extent of filling up a dug up road with the help of fellow residents since Airtel did a shoddy job of closing up the hole. "I am observing violations by Airtel guys who are digging up holes in roads for broadband wires," he says. "When they started digging I asked them to show papers of permission and in that it states permission for digging. But now at many places, they have left the good roads with just heaps of soil. These dug up holes have not been finished with bitumen
tops. This is going to be a serious issue when it rains. Initially, they assured me that it will be closed with bitumen. But now, I don't see any of them and the nice streets look completely scarred. Will the concerned authorities pull up these guys for the shoddy work and ensure they bring back the roads in good condition?" When the authorities didn't listen, Suresh filled up the eyesore himself "in the name of citizen volunteering" and also to safeguard himself and his neighbours as the "Airtel cemetery pit was going to endanger our movement". Kanavi did something similar. "The Airtel contract staff started digging across 22nd Cross and 17th Main junction. The supervisor showed the papers which did not have the local ward engineer's signature or approval. So I requested them to stop the work and get the approval of the local ward engineer."
[ [ STOP THEM The next time you see a newly asphalted road getting cut by OFC companies, stop them. It is illegal according to the BBMP commissioner’s 2015 notice.

COVER STORY
King of HSR At 11, Komal Srivatsav Sajja is a formidable chess champion By ZAHID H JAVALI
[ [ VERSATILITY INC Komal is also good at short put, football, swimming and athletics. But these are his way of remaining physically fit, so he can play chess for several hours at a stretch.
18
July 2017
When Komal was six, he was introduced to chess by his mother. Looking at the many pieces on board and how it got the players glued to it for hours, he decided to take the plunge and explore more possibilities. He has never looked back since. Five years later, he's a two-time state chess champion and an internationally rated player - he has over 30 awards and counting. Even more important, he's a resident of Sector 3 in HSR Layout. The son of software engineer Durga Prasad Sajja and dentist-turned-social activist Dr Shanthi Tummala, Komal Srivatsav Sajja is just as brilliant in academics. The sixth standard student of Freedom International School is always in the top 3, particularly in maths and science. The fact that his coach Durgesh K (36), a resident of Kudlu, teaches him chess and Vedic mathematics makes it all the more convenient. Komal has won the Karnataka state championship crown in the Under 7 (in the year 2012) and Under 9 categories (2014) two times over, and was twice runner up in the Under 11 (2014) and Under 13 (2015) Karnataka State Chess Championships. He is also the winner of the
RESIDENTSWATCH.IN
International Rating Chess Tournament that had over 500 contestants from across the country. In May last year, Komal won a FIDE Rating chess tournament in Kottayam, Kerala by remaining unbeaten and scoring an impressive 8.5 points in nine rounds. Komal's FIDE rating is 1613 while his coach is ranked 1670. "Soon, he will get there as he has already beaten me in many games," says Durgesh. "Viswanathan Anand's FIDE rating is 2775. In chess, the higher the rating, the better is your ranking." Any ranking above 2500 is considered grandmaster level. Every morning at around 6am, Komal sits with his coach for about 90 minutes and engages his mind in solving the most difficult puzzles and strategic games. And every evening, he trains himself by studying the games of chess grandmasters to decipher the tactical and strategic moves made by them. Coach Durgesh has been training him since 2012. "He is a very strong player himself but I am very happy that I can beat him too," says Komal. "He has trained many players who went on to become state champions. Now, he is training me and a few other students for the National Championship title for Karnataka." Komal is confident of taking a significant leap forward. "I have set a strong and achievable goal by myself," he says. "I want to be a world champion and make the people of India proud." His immediate goal towards that end is to win a national championship. Right now, Komal isn't sure if he wants to take up chess as a career full-time when he grows up. "My coach and parents believe that chess can contribute to the overall development of a person. Since I am good at it, chess playing will be a major part of my life's career. Apart from that, I like mathematics and science. A career in science and technology is what interests me." His younger sister Akshitha is a strong chess player too. She was a runner up in one Karnataka State Championship tournament. "My mom is a huge inspiration for me," he says. "Her life is a reflection of what it means to give 100% in whatever work you do. She taught me how to handle pressure in life and how to face challenges head-on." If anyone wants to try out chess, remember this. "To excel in chess or just about anything, you need to be physically and mentally fit," says Komal. "My parents and coach helped me
realise this." Sometimes, a competitive chess game can last for up to four hours. To the layman, it might appear to be a mentally and physically draining game, but for Komal, it has helped him enhance his focus, concentration and patience. And being a chess player has other benefits too. "I get to travel to many cities and meet new people," he says. "I have friends across India." But the biggest lesson he has learnt is from losing a match. "Failure is actually a success in disguise," he says. "My coach taught me how to learn from our losses, as they have more lessons to offer than any chess book can." Coach Durgesh had the last word: "Five years is the right age to learn anything. Chess is highly beneficial only if you take it competitively. It is particularly great for hyperactive kids who cannot sit in one place for more than a minute. Chess teaches them how to sit in one place for an extended period of time. If such kids play chess, they will probably be many times more effective at whatever they do. But the most important thing they learn at a very young age is understanding failure and also knowing how to overcome it." And the fact that there is no retirement age in chess as stated by V Anand, you can make a life-long career in checkmating your opponents.

PHOTO ESSAY
The new bailing machine (centre pic) at the Dry Waste Collection Centre in Sector 1 on 24th Main turns the massive load in this image into a compact bundle (extreme right). Less space consumption, easy to store and easy to load and the truck looks neat to passersby.
World Environment Day celebrated by HSR residents working under the banner of HaSiRu Mithra. They planted 25 saplings on Somasundrapalya Lake road.

PHOTO ESSAY
The all-new bins at the new Tree Park in Sector 3 behind Subramanya Math. Under MLC Ugrappa's leadership, the park is under constant development and is all set to sport an all-new look that no other park in HSR Layout can boast of. Kudos to public-spirited politicians like him. May his tribe increase.
The 19th Main opposite Aishwarya supermarket is turning out to be a hub for vendors, most being unregistered. The BBMP has to crack down on them. Down the same road, many makeshift huts have come up, turning it into a labour camp of sorts. A crackdown is imminent and soon.

This is the drain constructed by BBMP to divert Somasundrapalya lake water to Agara lake.

Check storm water drain encroachment online 100 cameras Use IIMBCCTV and RERI's ‘raja kaluve’ tracker for HSR residents By CHANDRIKA J CHANDWANI The Real Estate Research Initiative of Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB-RERI), with support from the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), has launched a web-based portal (www.rajakaluve.org) to enable Bangaloreans to know if their property is situated on a storm water drain or ‘raja kaluve’. With this portal, you can find details about storm water drains in one place. Citizens need to have the survey number, village, hobli and taluk as per the schedule in the registration document to be able to use this portal. “There is a general fear, fuelled by a lack of information, among citizens on whether their properties encroach important water bodies like ‘raja kaluves’. Through this effort, we hope to alleviate some of those fears by making information easy to access for all,” said Professor Venkatesh Panchapagesan, Head of IIMB-RERI. Currently, information on encroachments are available on government websites. “Information is not easily searchable and encroachment details are often provided only in the text embedded within survey drawings released by government agencies,” said Sriram Ranganathan, Product Manager, IIMB-RERI. IIMB-RERI is collaborating with a citizen initiative, www.mapshalli.org, to provide a Google Maps based searching capability for areas where detailed maps are available. Shiv Shankar of Mapshalli said, “Technology-enabled solutions are the way forward to solve modern-day urban challenges. We started with mapping of 50 villages around Whitefield. Now, after collaborating with IIMB-RERI, we were able to expand to 350 villages to help citizens with modern technology.” BBMP Commissioner Prasad lauded the IIMB-RERI effort. “I congratulate IIMB for this exercise and look
forward to more collaborative efforts between BBMP and IIMB-RERI,” he said. Urban governance expert Ashwin Mahesh added that such systematic efforts to put government data in the public domain are needed to allow citizens to overcome uncertainty and participate in making a better Bengaluru. Professor Panchapagesan also pointed out that this is the first of a series of such public service initiatives that IIMB-RERI plans for the empowerment of citizens. © Oorvani Foundation/Open Media Initiative.
