About 26 residents in Rainbow Drive Layout (RBD), located off Sarjapur Road, have written to the management committee (MC) of the layout opposing diversion of a rajakaluve from its original path.
In a High Court-ordered Assistant Director of Land Records (ADLR) survey, 13 houses in Wipro lane of RBD were found to be encroaching upon a storm-water drain. The HC in July ordered the BBMP to build a drain on the original path. However, the residents whose houses are built on the channels again approached the HC seeking a stay, following which the court directed not to act until the next hearing.
The BBMP that arrived to demolish houses had returned after the stay was granted, said Mahavepura Zonal Commissioner Trilok Chandra.
