Naming of roads
The vacant site situated on HAL 3rd Stage, 4th Cross, 7th Main, bearing no 319, is a big problem for the residents. The site has already reached the height of a hill heaped with garbage, wild growth, construction debris etc. People have now started throwing garbage around the site. We met the AEE, medical officer but the problem remains the same. As I am a senior citizen, my health does not permit me to to anything myself nor do I have the resources needed for that. Will the authorities concerned look into the matter?

Road medians needed
The narrow and over-used D Rajagopal road, connecting Sanjayanagar and Bellary road near Ganganagar market, adjoining the peripheral walk of the Headquarters Training Command, Air Force, is in a damaged and dangerous state. Rash driving, particularly by those approaching the Bellary road from Sanjayanagar side, poses danger to those coming from the opposite direction. The problem is owing to improper road and absence of road medians. It is time that the authorities concerned repaired the road and provided road medians between Ganganagar market and Ashwathnagar bus stop, as has been done between Mekri Circle and J.C. Nagar.

Unclean toilets
The toilets at Nandi Hills entrance behind the ticket counter and at Talakad is in terrible condition. Tourism authorities of Karnataka should look in to this matter.
These kind of toilets—- small. dark, stinking and unclean—is a health hazard besides createing a bad impression of our country to the tourists. It is imperative they are cleaned immediately.

Water going waste
This pipe of this corporation water tank at the Second cross of Maruti lay out in Bapujinagar, has broken in the middle. Ever since, residents around are not able to get water through the tiny pipe located down but through water gushing with great force from the broken pipe. It has been over a fortnight since this took place, informed a resident Angamma.
“We have informed officials but nothing has been done so far. All that needs to be done is a welding between the broken parts of the pipe which will take an hour to complete,” informs passerby Babu.
In this pix, water is seen overflowing from the bucket placed by a resident but the tap cannot be closed. It is connected to another tank nearby and when the water pipe is closed after a specified duration daily, only then will water stop flowing out of the pipe. Is this not a crime when many parts of the City sometimes experience a scarcity?
