Save Hebbal Lake Save BEML Quarters Lake in Mysore
In the past , Mysore Maharaja & other philanthropists have
donated their personal lands , properties , built many lakes &
ponds in mysore , bangalore and other places with public concern ,
public wellbeing in their mind . They built these lakes & ponds
in addition to preserving the natural lakes & ponds. They knew
about the importance of ecological balance & environment. The
present rulers , IAS & KAS babus have even failed to preserve
the lakes & ponds built decades ago , let alone build one.
These Public servants have extended their tacit support to building
mafia , to kill these lakes & ponds , to fill those lakes with
industrial effluents , sewage & building mud wastes. After
killing those lakes & ponds , the building mafia encroaches on
it & usurps that public property in turn selling it for crores
of rupees.
In this way , Hootagalli lake was killed & encroached by
Kaynes Hotel ( now silent shores hotel) , Hebbal Lake is being
killed & encroached from all sides by industries and the lake
infront of BEML Quarters is being killed & land demarcation for
selling those land has already begun.
The public servants were totally indifferent towards public
outcry against this . The IAS & KAS babus who are also
magistrates with judicial authority have failed in preserving these
lakes & ponds inspite of appeals to them. These death of lakes
resulting in their encroachments could have been prevented earlier
by DC , Tahsildar , MUDA Commissioner & KIADB Officers. Even I
have appealed to them through my web news paper , they didnt take
action at all. I have made RTI request to those authorities to give
me information regarding status of those lakes years ago , fearing
truth will come out they didnt anwer my questions in full , they
only gave half truths. When I persisited with my RTI request the
Mysore District Magistrate at that time Mr. P.Manivannan repeatedly
called me over phone , abused me & threatened me . Even threats
were made by some policemen in mufti .
Hereby , we request the honourable Supreme Court of India ,
1. To initiate criminal prosecution against Mysore district
magistrate , Mysore taluk magistrate , MUDA Commissioner ,
Jurisdictional Police Officers & KIADB Officer , for making
contempt of Supreme Court of India Order applying throught india to
preserve lakes & ponds.
2. To evict all encroachers forth with .
3. To immediately stop all flow of industrial effluents &
sewage to these lakes & ponds.
4. To initiate criminal prosecution against encroachers of these
lakes & pollters , killers of these lakes.
5. To preserve the said lakes & ponds , by recovering cost
from encroachers , polluting industries and the co-conspirators
Mysore DC , Mysore Tahsildar , MUDA Commissioner , KIADB Officer
& Jurisdictional Police Officers.
6. To protect me , my family members & dependents from land
mafia & co-conspirators of the crime.
7. To order , to issue Writ of Mandamus to Mysore District
Magistrate , MUDA Commissioner & KIADB Officer to disclose all
the information sought by me in my RTI request publicly. The copy
of my RTI request is reproduced below.

"Power will go to the hands of rascals, , rogues and
freebooters. All Indian leaders will be of low calibre and men of
straw. They will have sweet tongues and silly hearts. They will
fight among themselves for power and will be lost in political
squabbles . A day would come when even air & water will be
taxed." Sir Winston made this statement in the House of Commons
just before the independence of India & Pakistan. Sadly , the
forewarning of Late Winston Churchill has been proved right by some
of our criminal , corrupt peoples representatives , police , public
servants & Judges. Some of the below mentioned officials fall
among the category of churchills men Rogues , Rascals &

BBMP gets 3-month deadline to clear lake encroachment
Upa Lokayukta seems to be emerging as a new saviour for
Bengalurus lakes. Subhash Adi, the Upa Lokayukta of Karnataka
Lokayukta, has set a deadline of three months for BBMP to clear the
encroachment of lakes by slums, with proper rehabilitation. Upa
Lokayukta came up with this order after reading the inspection
reports on 183 lakes done by BBMP, BDA and other civic agencies
that look into the lakes of Bengaluru. The report by BBMP was
presented to Upa-Lokayukta in November, 2013. Following this, Upa
Lokayukta called all the top officials, the Bangalore Urban Deputy
Commissioner, Commissioner of Bangalore Development Authority,
Chairman of Karnataka Slum Development Board and lake engineers for
a meeting on November 25, 2013. Subhash Adi told Citizen Matters
that he was appalled on the conditions of lakes in the city. The
reports reveal that sewage lines were directly connected into some
of the lakes, while six of the BBMP lakes were occupied by slums.
He also asked BDA to hand over 13 lakes developed by BDA, back to
BBMP in 15 days. Reports reveal encroachments The reports submitted
to Upa Lokayukta by civic agencies had details about 55 lakes of
corporation, 115 lakes looked after by BDA, nine lakes under Lake
Development Authority and four lakes under Karnataka Forest
Department. Shubhash Adi told Citizen Matters that out of 55 lakes
managed by BBMP, 29 lakes were completely free from encroachment,
while 20 lakes of BBMP saw encroachment of 23 acres of lakes by
different structures like (buildings, temples, factory or military)
Since these encroachments were small in size, they were easily
removed, said Upa Lokayukta. He added: A few lakes had bigger
encroachment. They will be removed. The respective agency that
manages the lake will provide temporary settlements. Slums still
continue to occupy a total of 45 acres BBMPs six lakes -
Shilavanthana kere, Kowdenahalli, Puttenahalli (J P Nagar),
Dasarahalli, Vijnanapura Kere and Doddabommasandra. He said,
Engineers couldnt take immediate action on slum settlements near
lake. These slums are bigger in size and require to be
rehabilitated. I have ordered the corporation and slum development
board to immediately build temporary sheds till the permanent sheds
are built in three months. Major encroachment is seen at
Kowdenahalli lake. 1000 slum houses, a government school, a
college, a church and a temple have occupied an area of 32 acres of
lake. Kowdenahalli lake is spread over 66 acres in Bangalore East.
Dasarahalli lake in Chokkasandra village has 310 houses. 257 houses
have encroached Vijnanapura lake in Bangalore East, added Justice
Subhash Adi. Karnataka Slum Development Board (KSDB) will look into
the rehabilitation of the slum dwellers. Corporation will spend
money on the construction of temporary structures on the available
government land at various places. Funds for this will be used by
Rajiv Awas Yojana (Ray) scheme. The permanent structures will be
built by the funds from Slum Clearance department. If necessary,
Bangalore Urban Deputy Commissioner will also help in providing
land, he explained. Lets use treated sewage water Justice Subhash
Adi also raised concerns about untreated sewage water being let
into lake freely. He remarked that every apartment with more than
100 houses must have an STP. Though this is mentioned in the
building bylaws, nobody follows it. These rules should be enforced
strictly. BWSSB has proposed an idea of setting up independent STP
plants at each lake. The untreated sewage water that is now let
into the lake will have to go through STP. The treated water will
be let into lake and can be used for commercial, industrial and
construction purposes. Already one such plant exists next to Iblur
lake by BWSSB. But the Upa Lokayukta feels it is insufficient to
treat the amount of sewage water that it receives. He is impressed
by the idea of reusing the water. This will not only rejuvenate the
lake but will also reduce the pressure on groundwater.
Simultaneously, it will solve the sewage water problem and help get
some income. If not immediately, over a period of time it will
definitely help reduce the consumption of water in the city. Even
if the water is unused, the groundwater level will increase in that
area, he observed. We will hold discussions on this with Principal
Secretary of Urban Development Department along with the BWSSB and
other officials. They will study the idea in three months and come
up with plans. Once this gets clearance, it will be put in force.
Talking about the cost, he said, setting up an STP doesnt involve
big expenditure. STPs can be set up at Rs. 4 crores; this is not a
big amount as compared to Bangalore's population and the present
need. After removing encroachment on lakes, Upa Lokayukta looks
forward to ensure protection of lakes. He was quite impressed with
the initiatives of citizens staying near Puttenahalli (J P Nagar)
and Kaikondrahalli lake to maintain these lakes. He said he would
be delighted to see locals stepping forward to maintain it.
Land encroached by Infosys, other companies in Thindlu Lake
recovered
Continuing drive against encroachment, Revenue officials on
Friday recovered land area in and around the dried-up Thindlu Lake
in Bengaluru south which was encroached by many persons and
companies including IT-major, Infosys.
A team of officials demolished the compound wall built around
one acre of encroached land. Many agriculturists and private
parties had encroached the lake and built a road on the lake,
Assistant Commissioner (Bangalore south) L.C. Nagraj said.
The total recovered land is about 25 acres and estimated valued
at Rs. 75 crores, he said.
Reacting to the allegations on the encroachment of land, Infosys
clarified that the land was granted after survey by the Survey
Department. They are looking into the matter.
Site allotment to VIPs on lakebed in Dollars Colony to be
verified
Bengaluru Urban district incharge Minister Ramalinga Reddy said
on Tuesday that the government would verify as to how Bangalore
Development Authority (BDA) had allotted sites to 410 VIPs in
Dollars Colony, JP Nagar, without ascertaining that it was the bed
of Linganahalli lake.
Reddy said that the Deputy Commissioners office had already
begun issuing show-cause notices to the VVIPs. While talking tough
about the encroachments by private parties and private layouts on
lake beds, Reddy softened his stance over the allotment of sites to
the VIPs by BDA.
We have to ascertain as to how the BDA could have done such a
thing. We will ascertain the facts before going forward with any
action, he said. Reddy said that a few residents in Dollars Colony
had already come to meet him, with concerns over the notices issued
to them.
According to JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy, who convened a
separate press conference on Tuesday, the list of VVIPs who have
homes constructed on the lake bed include former BJP ministers C M
Udasi and Shobha Karandlaje, retired IAS officer I M Vittalamurthy
and a senior High Court judge.
Kumaraswamy dared the government to first act against those who
have built their homes on the Linganahalli lake bed, before
demolishing homes of poor and middleclass citizens. The JD(S)
leader said the lake was a live one, as per the S Lakshman Rao
committee report on the encroachment of lakes. A lake - which was
live in 1986 and for which a government order was issued that it
should not be touched - was approved as a layout in 1997. How is it
possible? he said.
Kumaraswamy added that if the government still wanted to revive
the lake, it should denotify land to the extent of 76 acres of
Jakkur lake and 75 acres of Dasanapura lake from the 1,760 acres of
Arkavathi layout notified under the re-do scheme.
