FALSE claims in BBMP affidavit
idontspam - 17 October, 2014 - 09:24
Per the affidavit submitted 22/9/14 WRT to the WP 13731/2013 under the "Statement showing status of footpaths - Encroachments/Obstructions Pertaining to Hebbal division/constituency in the jurisdiction of east zone" for the sl numbers 1 & 2 under ward 18 and sl numbers 2 to 5 under ward 19
1. It is stated in column 6 that the footpaths are not unscientific. This is FALSE. The footpath do not conform to IRC standards. Some places doesnt even have a footpath and people have to walk on the road.
2. It states in column 11 that footpaths are available which is FALSE below is a picture form the road which shows no footpath at all.
3. It is stated that only 9 obstructions in ward 18 and 11 obstructions in ward 19 remain. This is also FALSE. The footpath is absolutely unwalkable and the obstructions are multiples of the number stated.
In Sahakar Nagar main road, except putting slabs, nothing done

BBMP has cleaned footpaths which were existing but not reoved even inch of encroachment on footp paths in Sahakar Nagara Main Road.
Even the BBMP office gate in Battrayanapur is itself blocking footpatha and all two wheelers are parked in next to BBP office on footpath levaing no space for pedestrians.
So when this is happening infront of BBMP office inspite of having no parking board.
That means BBMP and Traffic police both support such things.
Looking others to share their observations has BBMP really removed encroachments
Ward 10 .... BBMP has given wrong information in the Affidavit??

In the Affidavit for Yelahanka Zone for Ward 10 BBMP has mentioned that there is a footpath of width 1.5 mts along the stretch of 2 kms from Adiga's Hotel, Vidyaranyapura till Doddabommasandra Arch. It is very clear that BBMP has given wrong information as more than half of this stretch is devoid of footpath.
BBMP has also mentioned that it has identified 31 encroachments, removed 19 of them and the remaining 12 will be removed by 30th September, 2014. Whereas the truth is that BBMP has not removed a single encroachment along this 2 km stretch.

In the affidavit for Bommanahalli zone for ward number 193 and 192 BBMP claims they have removed 15 obstructions. But the fact is they have not even moved a small pebble aside. The sorry state of affairs continue. Since I'm out of station I'm unable to take pictures. Will do attach them once I get back. When they say there is no foot path, that much is very ture. There is no foot path at all, all along this road.
