Bengaluru civic body starts to clear encroachments on storm-water drains

Following widespread flooding and Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai’s directions, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) started clearing properties, which have encroached rajakaluves (storm-water drains) in the city. On Saturday, constructions were razed in Dodda Bommasandra as well as Varthur.  

While the compound walls of three residential buildings were torn down in Dodda Bommasandra in Yelahanka zone, walls of TZed Homes in Varthur and some other structures, which had extended into the SWD in the Mahadevapura zone, were also demolished.

On Friday, civic authorities demolished a pathway as well as a wall at a tech park on Outer Ring Road, for blocking the SWD which was connected to the Bellandur lake.
