The agricultural land below the Lake abutment forming the Bellandur Lake is being developed for residential / commercial use as the case may be.

Vignan Nagar Roads - Miserable

Abhi_Jain - 24-APR-2011

Roads of Vignan Nagar were recently tarred for first time, which reduced mud and diseases to great extent. Shortly after this BBMP dug up all the roads for laying water pipes, leaving no way even to walk for weeks. After lying the pipes, deep holes were filled back with loose mud, leaving Vignan nagar once again in mud and pollution.

Decentralized urban poor rehabilition strategy

idontspam - 18-APR-2011

In the run up to Anna Hazare's fast & IAC's drive to the Jan Lok Pal bill one of the key topics that emerged was the kind of politicians & corporators we end up electing.

Trash talk

n - 27-JAN-2011

Out of sight, out of mind? Not many people think about what happens to the copious amounts of garbage generated daily. There doesn't seem to be much information on BBMP's website (surprise). Based on earlier articles in the media, it appears that there is still not a scientific landfill to handle Bengaluru's waste (let alone in other cities/towns in Karnataka).
