Centre banned commercial borewells in city, state overturned it quietly - Citizen Matters

Navya P K — Thu, 16 May 2013 18:30:00 GMT

The central government's ground water authority had issued a major order in November 2012, banning digging of commercial borewells. When the baton passed to the state authority this April, everything broke.

While water-strapped Bengaluru is waiting for the mercy of rain gods to bless the Cauvery belt to quench its thirst, water mafia is busy drawing water from just about anywhere: their own bore wells, bore wells of others, lakes and water bodies - wherever one can see water. As this article goes into publication, the city water board has just announced that Cauvery water supply for Bengaluru will stop in four days.

Few know that the Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) issued an order in November 2012: No more borewell digging in Bengaluru for commercial purposes. If implemented correctly,…

K R Puram: Acute water woes; encroached lakes - Citizen Matters

Navya P K — Thu, 02 May 2013 18:30:00 GMT

What are the problems plaguing K R Puram? What did the MLA do to solve the problems? What does the voter expect? Who are contesting this time?
K R Puram constituency has areas that were newly added to the BBMP. Hence the civic issues here are also many, compared to core city areas. HAL Airport and DRDO division come under this constituency. So do ITPL, Tin Factory and ITI (Indian Telephone Industries).

K R Pura is a large constituency covering nine wards - Horamavu, Ramamurthy Nagar, Vijnana Pura, K R Pura, Basavanapura, Devasandra, A Narayanapura, Vijnana Nagar and HAL Airport. The constituency is BJP-dominated. Eight out of nine wards here have BJP corporators; only Basavanapura has a Congress corporator.

Bommanahalli: It's new entrant vs approachable MLA - Citizen Matters

Padmalatha Ravi — Wed, 01 May 2013 18:30:00 GMT

Though Bommanahalli MLA is approachable, he did little to solve the problems, say residents. The urbane Ashwin Mahesh and Congress loyalist Nagabhooshana Reddy are taking him on this time.

If you are on Hosur road going towards Electronic city in the evenings and not taking the elevated flyover, chances are you are going to be stuck at the Gaarvebhavipalya junction. The usual sights and sounds of traffic chaos strike you loud and clear. You will also see a bunch of young women balancing plastic pots while waiting for a safe moment to cross the busy junction. These young women cross over the busy and often dangerous highway, from Hongasandra side to Bandepalya to collect water every other day. Water is the biggest concern in sitting MLA Sathish Reddy's backyard…

Mahalakshmi Layout: Strong incumbent against ex-deputy Mayor - Citizen Matters

Priyanka Nadgir — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 18:30:00 GMT

14 candidates including sitting MLA Narendra Babu and BBMP corporator S Harish are flighting it out in Mahalakshmi Layout. Though seen as a proactive MLA, Narendra Babu is yet to solve many issues in the area.

With over two lakh voters, the traditional neighborhoods of the Mahalakshmi Layout constituency are a hot spot for commercial activities too. Narrow roads and water supply shortage have been the foremost issues left unresolved by the incumbent and earlier elected leaders.

Abutting the major localities of Yeshwantpur, Rajajinagar and Malleshwaram, this constituency has grown at a fast pace. There is also an exodus of workers from Peenya Industrial suburbs to the quieter locales of Nandini Layout and Mahalakshmipuram.

The constituency consists of seven wards. JDS and Congress have three corporators each along with the lone BJP representative, S Harish from…

Sarvagnanagar: Fast growth, poor amenities - Citizen Matters

Vaishnavi Vittal — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 18:30:00 GMT

The usual problems of traffic, garbage and sewage are the cause of concern for the voters of this constituency. The three-time MLA has not been able to keep up with the growing demand for better administration.
Located in the north-east part of Bangalore, the Sarvagnanagar Assembly Constituency has seen a lot of development in the recent past.

Key issues

‘Development’ rattles Malleshwaram - the peace-abode - Citizen Matters

Shree D N — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 18:30:00 GMT

How has the incumbent MLA performed? What are the key issues in Malleshwaram Assembly Constituency in this election? Who are the candidates this time?

Malleshwaram is a peaceful old locality in the city, the central part of which is filled with age-old buildings like IISc, CV Raman’s house, MLA School and many old houses. Central Malleshwaram has BJP and KJP state offices. Among popular personalities in the constituency are Sudharani (film actress), Ananth Nag (film actor) and Vimala Rangachar (president of Karnataka Chitrakala Parishat).

This strong-hold of Janata Dal had catapulted the BJP to MLA’s chair, following the wave of sympathy for the Yeddyurappa-led BJP soon after Kumaraswamy burned bridges with the BJP and state went to polls again.
