BBMP to rein in ad agencies 21.5.2013 deccanherald.com
The BBMP has decided to rein in the advertisement agencies which have put up hoardings and advertisement boards illegally across the City, causing a loss of about Rs 150 crore annually to the Palike.

During a review meeting held on Monday, Commissioner Siddaiah told officials to display advertisements having the names of the defaulters and register cases against them as was done recently with Alesh Collection. He also suggested drum-beating drive in front of the offices of major defaulters.

He asked his officials to check whether the jewellers who have put up flexes and hoardings across the City have necessary permission. If the advertisements were illegal then the jewellers must pay the rent and taxes. He also suggested to introduce SAS system for collecting advertisement taxes.

Encroachment of Bangalore’s lakes continues unabated (Cached) 20.5.2013 Citizen Matters
Though many lakes in Bangalore are dying a slow death, nothing much has been done concretely to stop the mindless encroachment. Kadugodi lake is the latest on the list.

One more lake in Bangalore seems to be nearing extinction. Kadugodi lake in Whitefield is the victim. And the encroachers belong to water mafia.

As if this is not enough, a new compound and buildings are coming up on the lake bed and catchment area. A few concerned citizens of this area have been trying to bring some limelight on the…
