Residents of Hulimangala Grama Panchayat Appeal to MLA for Infrastructure Improvements
- July 20, 2024
Bengaluru, 13 July 2024 – The Hulimangala Residents Welfare Association (HRWA), representing over 20,000 residents from societies under the Hulimangala Grama Panchayat, has formally approached Shri M. Krishnappa, MLA of Bangalore South Constituency, highlighting urgent issues affecting the area.
The association’s letter underscores the pressing need for better hygiene, safety, and infrastructure. Key concerns include the condition of the Shikaripalya Lake, which currently receives untreated sewage from independent houses and paying guest accommodations. The HRWA has requested the installation of a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) to process this sewage and protect the lake’s ecosystem. Additionally, fencing around the lake is necessary to prevent garbage dumping and cattle grazing, which harm the local environment.
Garbage management is another significant issue. The residents have complained about the inadequate garbage collection system, leading to littering on roads by shops and independent houses. The association has urged for a more efficient and timely garbage collection service.
The absence of an underground drainage (UGD) system has also been highlighted. The lack of UGD results in sewage mixing with rainwater, contaminating lakes around Electronic City and affecting groundwater quality. The HRWA has called for the establishment of a proper underground drainage system.
Encroachment on Shikaripalya Main Road by shops and hawkers is causing traffic congestion and inconvenience. The association has requested the Hebbagodi Police to address this issue and remove encroachments.
Finally, the HRWA has appealed for the Hulimangala Grama Panchayat to be brought under the City Municipal Council (CMC) due to the significant population growth in the area.
The association has urged Shri M. Krishnappa to prioritise these issues, expressing optimism for prompt action to improve living conditions in Hulimangala.
