Storm water drain officials surveyed the Bagmane World Technology Centre on Outer Ring Road. The survey revealed that the tech park had illegally encroached upon the storm water drain. The measured encroachment was about 2.4 metres. Meanwhile, the tech park officials told NDTV they closed up a storm drain “to stop flooding”. Some of key occupiers of this tech park are Boeing, Accenture, EY, DELL, Ericsson among the others.

NDTV should corner govt officials who gave permission obviously by taking bribes.
Wherever BJP goes corruption and hypocrisy follows…
No one is trying to understand one this..even if the SWD is open, the flooding will not stop as the lake itself is overflowing. It's not a Bagmane or Purva problem, it's the problem with lake is getting filled..earlier Lake used to have bigger depth and now the lake depth come down to less than 10 feet. So even small rain, lake is flooded. So this breaking the wall will not help the issue if it rains..firstly clear the lake, make it deeper so more water can be stored and than make alternate path.
Secondly, Ring Road vicinity e.g. Mahadevpura, BELLANDUR is more impacted due to metro work related debris blocking drains. Or else same level rain was experienced by BTM too but not badly impacted. So clear the drains..that will help.
I can bet, focusing on Bagmane or Purva, SWD won't solve any problem. We should rather understand that Bagmane holds so many offices that employs so many youths, create so many jobs.. just ensure Indian and Bangalore image is not impacted. Let's improve things with NO demolishing and making better drainage and deeper lakes.
Lastly just research on which SURVEY BBMP is referring for marking with Red color? Hopefully it's the latest one, not holding something that is 100 years old. Things have changed in 100 years and Geographical dynamics too
Why is campus built on lake. When lake rises they will get reverse lake. This property is built illegally.
What a bunch of jokers..
Buldozer for civilians
Bailout and amendment for cronies
Bold questioningβ¦..moral: most have encroached lakesβ¦..now they are blaming neighbors/officials
Mahadevapura Lake was very big…
Also the water mafia in Bangalore please cover that story also, because Bangalore had enough water in lakes for many citizens but all are made into properties and then they pump water all they way from another place and sell Cauvery water and bwssb keeps troubling citizens as well.
Great NDTV, if water gathers, Govt has not planned well. If IT/knowledgeable bullshitters give reasons, you buy it. Great job. Let the flood affected take care of self. Media should stop biased interviews.
Drain does not belong to you, you illiterate guy.. let the BBMP plan the drains. They will be responsible. Leave it to them
This guy is justifying why his company has encroached the drain. LOL
Good reporting. Having been a Bangalorean for over 20 years, I had enjoyed the good weather of old Bangalore, which is missing now. Nature had blessed Bangalore with lakes and water ways, with money coming from IT companies, trees, lakes, waterways and the cool Bangalore weather is lost for many years now. I love Bangalore and really wish for the garden city to be reinstated.
IT companies are just paying rent in those buildings. Very less likely any company owns a building there. But the bigger question is who gave permission to build the tech park in the lake itself? Are the approval agencies not to blame for this ? The most corrupt BBMP
It's an open secret how bbmp authorities skip requests n do the otherwise things….that your channel have reported. Mr. Chakravarty is obviously quiet n scared to speak that part…
From 1000 lakes to 40 fresh water lakes
I agree some land has been encroached .
That's went so easy.
Pity those floating vehicles.
When a should-have-been-an-interrogator becomes a reporter π€£… Just imagined how it would have been to be married to her; I decided to be a brahmachary (celibate) for life π¬π
Chakravarthy spoken nicely.
As per the newspaper report, all BBMP has is 1904 survey map of Mahadevapura village and all demolition is being done to restore the Mahadevpura zone to 1904 level.
It sounds ridiculous but that is the fact. Mahadevpura zone which exports $66 Billion services is being restored to 1904 water map. Country in the meantime has built numerous dams, changed to course of water, planned number of drainage and storm water system, and what not. But BBMP is stuck.
Further, many residents have Occupancy Certificate for their properties issued by very own BBMP or approved plans by BDA. And now they are being demolished by the same agency. Two things BBMP is clearly saying- 1. Hum Angrez Ke Jamane ke Jailor (commissioner) hain. Yahan hamari marziβ¦
2. Meri haan to haan mat samazo, meri naa ko naa mat samajho. (IT city mahanagar palika believes in fuzzy logic.π)
mor*** now sinces it's not working ante.these amazing reasons are good to hear and not in practice.
who deemed it as not working….you are talking as if you are the tashildhar to cover it.
MTB is a share holder of bhagmane???
Manager "Madam, who wants a open drain inside their campus, so bribed and covered it.. " π€£π€£π€£
He tried so hard to cover up the questions of the reporter…just like covering up the drain….πππ
Please report on Attur lake in Yelahanka which is also getting covered up and built with huge building….
The issue with neo-rich is they want to keep the cake and eat it. We criticize politicians easily but we are okay with what the corporates and big businesses do. The villas are bought and sold by the educated without finding what were the lands actually for……
Mismanaged state
Without basic intelligence of town planning
Or bribery of ministers and officials
Demolition first, BBMP
Save Bangalore city, BBMP
All encroachment Bangalore city Demolition first, BBMP
Save Bangalore, BBMP
Demolition first , BBMP
What rubbish is this guy talking??
Good reporting again by NDTV
MTB Nagaraj is the kingpin here
You need to interview a person who is senior, coherent and articulate. A typical admin chap in these places is not used to explaining properly
Alll encroachment on lakes. Government and Private companies together have ruined the good old Bangalore. Nature always has it way back to reclaim. All these irresponsible people must be published
This is a clear cut encroachment. To prevent backflow they have done all irresponsible activities and not taking into consideration the general good of the lake, and the environment. It shows how selfish and self centred these people are. He keeps saying my campus, my campus. , Not realising that this is not his campus but the lake's campus which was rudely and irresponsibly encroached by these Selfish and self centred people
Only nature should punish them and teach them a lesson
Technical reasons fully covered with slabs n blocked water but not an encroachment what n explanation boss
What is she talking about, the guy has closed the drain or covered the drain.
Point Blank question.
Useless people constructing illegally and troubling the common man…useless to the core
Sahi hai
The area around lakes and rivers requires a buffer zone, for safety and for environmental reasons but then corruption and commercialisation eats reason and floods happen, destruction happens and lives are lost. Lessons are learnt and forgotten, just as quickly. Next year, repeat.
When u eat lakes, dig river beds for sand.Then offcourse the water will enter residencial area.
So no permission. They just encroached the SWD. now that's a good reason to be demolished. This stupid man says that he is forced to do so. Increasing the lake level doesn't cause back flow until unless there is inflow from the other side.
The campus is the lake
MOST CORRUPTED CITY IS BANGALORE PLANNING AUTHORITY TAKEN BRIBES AND GIVEN APPROVALS WITHOUT NORMS
