JOIN USThe drive to clear encroachments on stormwater drain will intensify from Tuesday.
The drive will be carried out in Srinivasapur, Harohalli, Kadugondanahalli and Myadarahalli, where the total encroachment is about 3,000 square metres. However, on Tuesday 1,650 square metres of encroachment will be cleared and the drive will continue for at least a week, in these locations. Sources in the BBMP said at present, the civic agency is focusing only on vacant sites where the stormwater drains pass. However, a small house will be razed in Myadarahalli.
“We will start the drive from morning at these places. The Bangalore Metropolitan Task Force and the local police will assist us in the drive,” said a Palike officer. BBMP commissioner N Manjunatha Prasad had convened a meeting to strategise the drive.
