As many as 13 villas in Rainbow Drive Layout (RBD), an upscale gated community off Sarjapur road, face demolition as the High Court has ordered the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) and revenue authorities to take action against encroachments. The order was passed on July 27.
The order was passed after hearing the petition that was filed by residents who objected to BBMP’s action of constructing a drain in front of their homes. In the same petition, a few other residents whose houses were built on the Storm-Water Drain (SWD) were also impleaded. The court had earlier asked the government to conduct an Assistant Director of Land Record (ADLR) survey of the rajakaluve after issuing notices to residents and submitting a report. The report found SWD encroachment.
