After four days of continuous leave, the BBMP has restarted its demolition activity with new vigour.

 

Today, it is going to mark around 1,000 buildings, as per the map of the stormwater drain. The buildings of big real estate businesses, political leaders and many influential people are included in the list

 

After the marking, the BBMP will give two days' notice to the building owners. There are around 1923 encroachments on the stormwater drain stretching on for about 854km in Bengaluru. Around 922 encroachments have already been cleared.

 

Yesterday, the BBMP has uploaded its map of the stormwater drain, which contains the zones and wards of encroached areas. The map is divided as Bengaluru East, Bengaluru North, Bengaluru annexe, etc. 

 

But confusion reigned as the uploaded map had old survey numbers and citizens colud not find their exact plot numbers and survey numbers of encroached land.
