The Karnataka High Court on Thursday admitted a PIL from a resident of Vishwabharathi Layout, in Girinagar, Bangalore who has sought directions to the Vishwabharathi House Building Cooperative Society and civic bodies to clean up the layout.
Dumping yard
The petition by B S Madhusudhan stated that the layout formed by the Society on the lands of Gerehalli and Hosakerehalli, had become a dumping yard of all types of garbage and construction debris.
Mr Madhusudhan said, the layout was devoid of proper roads and drainage facilities.
The trouble was doubled up with the menace of dogs and pigs as well as due to rains, he stated in the petition.
No street lights had been provided and anti-social elements were finding home in half constructed houses of the layout, the petitioner contended.
The Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Cyriac Joseph and Justice Ram Mohan Reddy admitted the petition for hearing while ordering notices to the Cooperative Society, the BBMP, the Bangalore Development Authority, BESCOM as well as the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board.
