Residents of Electronics City ( Konappana agrahara ) Demand Urgent Action on Basic Amenities
- July 20, 2024
Bengaluru, 05 July 2024 – Electronic City Rising, a prominent residents’ association, has brought to light the pressing issues faced by the inhabitants of Electronics City, especially those residing outside the ELCITA/ELCIA limits, such as Konappana Agrahara TMC and other nearby villages. The association, led by President Pranay Dubey and Vice Presidents Anirudh Nayak, Vinay Kulkarni, Pushpendra Singh, and Sunil Kumar, has formally addressed these concerns in a letter to the Hon MLA M Krishnappa, MLC Mr Gopinath, Mr Muniraju – Chief Officer (Konappana Agrahara TMC) at BBMP Office in JP Nagar.
Garbage Collection and Disposal: The association highlights rampant roadside dumping of garbage across Electronic City, posing severe health risks to the residents. An efficient and regular garbage collection system is urgently needed to address this issue.
Water Issues: With the depletion of groundwater levels, water scarcity is a significant concern. Most residents rely on water tankers for their supply. The association suggests that infrastructure to supply Kaveri Water would help mitigate this issue to a certain extent.
Property Tax Collection: The residents have raised concerns about the higher property tax rates in the gram panchayat/TMC areas compared to BBMP. The association believes that reducing these rates would increase compliance and revenue, as more residents would be willing to pay.
MSW Processing Plant Violations: The BBMP’s Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) processing plant has been violating environmental norms despite orders and penalties from the National Green Tribunal (NGT). The plant’s operations are causing significant ecological damage and health issues due to the foul smell emanating from it.
Road Condition: While there have been improvements in road conditions over the years, many roads still suffer from potholes and other damages. The association calls for further enhancements to ensure safer and smoother transportation.
Electronic City Rising urges the authorities to prioritise these issues and take immediate action to improve the living conditions for the residents. The association remains hopeful for a positive response and swift resolution of these concerns.
