Undissolved soil in Hoskarehalli lake

BBMP promise unfulfilled for three days; Local outrage

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್‌

Bengaluru: Local people and environmentalists expressed their displeasure as special commissioner Ravindra's promise that the mud spilled in Hoskerehalli Lake was not fulfilled even after three days.

Members of Citizens for Hosakerehalli Lake, Jhatkaa.org and The Indian Ploggers' Army had fought for Hoskerehalli lake that it should be cleared. Responding to this, Ravindra, Special Commissioner of Planning Department of BBMP, visited the place on March 23.

Road is not being built in the lake. Changing the sewer water flow path. For this, mud has been poured to facilitate the movement of lorries and vehicles. He assured the locals that it would be cleared. But on Sunday when we all went to the lake, work was being done by JCBs in the lake as usual. The soil was not removed. The members of the organization complained that when they tried to contact the BBMP officials, no one responded.

A tender has been floated for the development of Hosakere Halli Lake at a cost of ₹9 crore. However, the works have started without this tender work being started. It is said that money will be spent on silt removal now. However, the silt was removed in 2017 by BDA. BBMP engineers have no information about this. Now again they are spending crores for the same work. Srinivas, a local, alleged that all this is a way of looting money.

If you ask the executive engineer who called the tender to inform you about the new tender and give a detailed project report (DPR) of the work you are undertaking, he says that there is no DPR. Tender cannot be called without DPR. Hence it is a violation of tender rules. He demanded that action should be taken against them.

Clearance is done only after completion of work

'Work is being done on one side to make the retaining wall. On the other hand, work is being done to divert sewage water from the solid waste management department under the Shubhra Bangalore project. For this, earth is being poured temporarily and 'ramp' is being made. It will cost ₹10 crore and the work will be done for a few months. Clearance is done only after completion of work. The lake will be fully protected," said Ravindra, Special Commissioner of BBMP Planning Department.

Sewage, soil to Bhimanakatta

Rajarajeshwarinagar Bheemanakatte lake sewage and soil-stone are being poured into Hoskere village. The members of the Bhimanakatte lake protection group complained that they appealed to the BBMP officials and MLAs in this regard but to no avail.

It was requested to remove the silt of the lake and increase the storage capacity. Didn't do that either. Now the sewage water is flowing into the lake from above. This has been requested to be stopped. But, BBMP, BWSSB officials are not responding,' said Balaga K.A. Shiva Gowda said.

If there is any other development in the area surrounding the lake, it will block the flow of water to the Bhimanakatte lake. Therefore, appropriate action should be taken in this regard,' he said.

An unresponsive engineer

In Rajarajeshwari Nagar zone, Hoskarehalli Lake, Bheemanakatte, Mallattahalli, Halagevaderahalli, Kenchenahalli lakes are being developed against the environment and the soil filling is being done. Local residents and lake conservation activists have complained that Shilpa, the engineer of the lakes department of this zone, does not give any information to the citizens.

Shilpa does not give information to the chief engineer either. He is the reason for all the shortcomings in the development of lakes. Rajasekhar alleged that everything is happening as per his wish. Shilpa did not respond to this.

Measured increase in Rajakaluve encroachment

In the east there was still more Rajakaluve encroachment; BBMP, district administration not taking action

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್‌

Bengaluru: The removal of encroachment in the Rajakaluve, which caused the pre-submergence, is not going on at the expected level. However, encroachment alone is increasing as measured. It has been revealed that more than 26 acres of Rajkaluve is encroached upon in Three Hobli of Bengaluru East Taluk.

Most of the areas in the eastern taluk of the city were submerged due to heavy rains last September. On that occasion, BBMP had said that it would vacate many types of encroachments. After a few days of encroachment clearance, everything cooled down. However, identifying the encroachment and documenting its extent was completed in January. According to the records of revenue departments, encroachment has been found in more than 90 cases in this taluk.

East Taluk Varthur, Bidrahalli, K.R. Revenue Department has registered new cases of Rajakaluve encroachment in Pura Hobli. Encroachments were found when the Rajakaluve were measured and surveyed as per revenue records. All these have been identified and all the processes have been completed and placed under the order of Tahsildar.

After the rains stopped and the water flow to the House and Layouts is decreased, the clearing operation of Rajakaluve encroachment slowed down. BBMP Chief Commissioner Tushar Girinath has been giving deadlines since January that he will carry out the eviction operation once all the orders are received. But nothing is working.

Area unmarked in many places: It has been stated in the survey report that the 'Canal' has been encroached upon by the tenants in Survey number 112, 114. However, the area is not recorded. Similarly, Karimamma's Agrahara survey no. 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22 are recorded as encroachment by tenants.

Survey no. 129/1 between 129 and 130 it is recorded that the building was constructed in the pit. Survey no. 34, 121, 122 only recorded that there is a road. Locals alleged that the surveyors gave in to the pressure of the influential and abandoned some encroachments.

• Lots of people plants, pose to lot for photos too. But ignored nurturing. In these scenarios, there are people who committed to nature. They fight to save plants and trees. Those don't come to limelight...
• Who built the Dharmambudhi lake that used to provide drinking water to Bengaluru, now it is a bus stand?
• Tell me, who doesn't know Bengaluru Karaga? But the original place which caused the creation of this is not seen today. Do you know that place?
• Hundreds of crores have been spent on the development of Bangalore lakes. But, all that is in it is dirty water. So, where did all these hundreds of crores go?

BbMp: Cancellation of 'A' Khata for one lakh property!

BBMP to Regular Enrollment; Punishment for illegality of A Khata

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್

BENGALURU: A preliminary investigation by the 'Scrutiny Committee' has revealed that 'A' Khatas have been issued despite not being eligible under BBMP, and it is estimated that around one lakh 'A' Khatas may have been illegally registered in 243 wards.

 Chief Commissioner Tushar Girinath has formed a 'Scrutiny Committee' to review all the accounts in the wake of complaints that 'A' Khatas were made illegally in the city. Thousands of irregularities were discovered in the initial investigation of this committee.

 In order to Khata for a property under BBMP coverage, certain fees and documents are required including development fee. But without considering this the Assistant Revenue Officers (ARO) entered the property information in 'A' register. But the fees have not been paid to the corporation.

 It is known that the new properties have been entered in the register as sub-numbers among the properties previously entered in the 'A' Khata. For example, if 31 and 32 are Khata entries of different assets, then a new Khata is made as 31/1 in between. It is meant to be treated as an old registration. Only 3 or 4 property information is recorded on one page of the register. However, on some pages, a different property has been entered as a sub-number using the space between.

 In some 'A' registers only the owner's name, Khata number is entered and no order is given as per clause. Further, if a person's name is entered in multiple pages of the same register, an 'A' Khata is given. All these have sub-no. Sources said that more irregularities will come to light if the registers are thoroughly scrutinized.

 Cancellation of Illegal A Khata

Illegality of 'A' Khatas is being checked. If there is no document as per our rules including land conversion and development fee, the 'A' Khata of such property will be cancelled," said Jayaram Raipur, chairman of the 'Scrutiny Committee'.

 In 15 days, the process of verifying all the documents will be completed. Later, how many illegal Khatas there are will be revealed.

 800 illegal in Anjanpur division!

 Anjanapur sub-division of Bommanahalli zone of BBMP covers less properties. More than 800 Khatas have been illegally registered in the 'A' register in the two wards here, it has emerged from the preliminary investigation of the 'Scrutiny Committee'. All of them are being seized and examined by the BBMP committee. It was earlier estimated to be illegal only in the new five zones. But since there are complaints everywhere, the committee has decided to conduct inspection in all 243 wards.

 One week deadline: Jairam Raipur

The Assistant Revenue Officers (AROs) of all divisions should provide the information about illegal 'A' Khatas under BBMP within a week. They have all kinds of information. If they don't provide information, criminal cases will be registered against the respective AROs when the investigation is carried out by the committee,' said Jairam Raipur, Special Commissioner of Finance, who is the chairman of the 'Scrutiny Committee'.

BBMP: Rajakaluve encroachment removal Overdue

Rajakaluve- No order from Tehsildar; Ready to vacate from March 10- BBMP

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್‌

BENGALURU: The State government and BBMP are spending hundreds of crores of rupees to control situations like rain water control or floods. However, due to heavy rains, Rajakaluve has been postponing the clearance of  encroachment.

In 2022, the city saw the highest rainfall of 1,958 mm, and the Government and BBMP have announced some plans to deal with the situation without any problem. Re-designing of Rajakaluve, including box concrete and embankment of lakes are planned to control water flow. Not only this, the World Bank has also planned to prevent climate change at a cost of ₹ 3 thousand crore. But no one is talking about the relief of Rajakaluve  encroachment.

Due to the encroachment of the Rajakaluve, there was a flood-like situation in the city, the eastern areas were submerged. This was also accepted by the Government and BBMP. However, the encroachment clearance work has not started comprehensively even after six months.

The Rajakaluve under the jurisdiction of BBMP have been affected in 485 cases. BBMP Chief Commissioner Tushar Girinath had said in a meeting between the District Commissioner and the Tahsildar that February 15 is the last day for the Tahsildar to issue an order to vacate them. But even after this deadline, no order has come out. For a couple of days after such a meeting, a couple of places are cleared on a small scale. Then everything goes quiet.

Negligence of the authorities: 

'BBMP says that there is no Rajakaluve encroachment in the south zone of Bengaluru. But the authorities have hidden the encroachment there', complained Deepak, a resident of Jayanagar.

Rajarajeshwari Nagar is rich in Rajakalves in many ways. Gopal, a resident of Halagevaderahalli, alleged that despite sending pictures of the houses being constructed and complaining to the authorities including Basavaraja Kabade, Chief Engineer of the Rajakaluve Division, no action is being taken.

50% order pending:

In 50% cases where  encroachment  has been identified, an order is due from the Tahsildar. The delay was due to transfer of Tahsildars. However, it has been suggested to vacate all encroachments by March 15. The eviction notice is being issued by March 10,' said BBMP Chief Commissioner Tushar Girinath.

No removal if there is no problem: Tushar Girinath

In many cases of the city, BDA, BBMP, etc., there are many types of  encroachment on the public. In some cases, even though the original revenue record map of Rajakaluve are encroachment, there is no problem as there is an alternative canals. Evacuating hundreds of houses in those encroachments will do no good. Such cases will be brought to the notice of the High Court and will be proceeded with according to the order," said BBMP Chief Commissioner Tushar Girinath.

Zonal Commissioners have been instructed to identify encroachments within their jurisdiction. The Joint Commissioner has been ordered to inspect the site and give a report as to which encroachment removal is not beneficial. He said that there is no need to codify such zonal reports and clear any encroachments before the High Court.
