Heavy downpour for hours,with gusty winds changed the Sunday mood of the Bangalurians. Water entered the low lying areas. BBMP control room received complaints from Fathima Layout.Amar Jyothi Layout,Dodda Banaswadi ,Horamavu & Journalist colony. Sarai Palya,laggere.Mudalapalya,Chamarajpet & T Dasarahalli were also equally affected. Many Trees were up rooted.Power supply was badly affected. 2.5 mm of rainfall is not much to disturb the citizens,but the in efficiency of BBMP. staff. Most of the storm water drains are blocked.Roads were overflowing with streams of water. One could see people taking shelter under Metro ,lines/underpasses,Trees & Buildings. Those staying in Multi storied projects were the happiest lot. Water logging was reported from most of the localities like Koramangala,Ejipura,IndiraNagar,new Tippasandra,old Madras road,Brigade road,KG Road & Malleswaram.Rain Water from Defence Land was overflowing the adjacent I.Ring Road & Ejhipura Etc. What is the solution for this ? 2/5 th of the land in Bangalore belongs to the Defence & the civil authorities have no control over it. The GOK. should take over this surplus land(Mostly in Prime localities)by Nationalising it,or by forceful occupation(Like they did in Muni Reddy Palya during ,CM.Hanumanthaiah's time) The BBMP should be Trifurcated for better Governance. The Local Govt should ask many Defense establishments to shift to other Disricts of the state if not to other States. They are a heavy drain on the slender resources of the BBMP. Be it Power,Water or Transportation. The recent report about the Air Show being shifted to GOA was welcomed by one & all. The DM & GOI. must make an announcement in this regard immediately.
During the last water crisis in 1986,many of the Air Force Training Units were shifted to Tamilnadu & other places.
