Several posh villas built in Rainbow Drive Layout (RBD), an upscale private gated community off Sarjapura road in Bengaluru east, that was flooded in 2022, may face demolition as the survey conducted by Assistant Director of Land Records (ADLR) found Storm-Water Drain (SWD) encroachment. The survey was submitted to the Karnataka High Court last week.
A copy of the report accessed by The Hindu shows that house numbers 71, 72/1, 72/2, 73, 74/1, 74/2, 75, 76, 76/1, 77, 78, 79, and 80 are sitting on a SWD. The report said the house owners were issued notices before the survey and maps were shown to them. The report said there is a presence of 2.40 metres of SWD in survey numbers, 16/1, 2, 3A, and 3B. These villas come under survey numbers 16A and 16B in Halanayakanahalli village. On the other hand, the survey also found that 2.40 metres of SWD has passed through survey numbers 18, 19, and 20 in Halanayakanahalli village, and survey number 19 in Junnasandra village. These villas now face demolition, sources said.
