BBMP — Vacant plot turned into slum and healthcare nightmare

Address:

Vacant plot opposite to HM Towers, Cambridge Layout extn/ Someshpura

Hi, I am writing from Cambridge Layout extn (opposite to HM Towers). There is a vacant plot that has been lying vacant since 2011 and consequently, it has been turned into a slum with over 70 people staying in a 60X40 site by some encorachers. The owner is not bothered as he doesn't stay in the vicinity.

The whole area has no water connection while a certain gentleman staying in a large white house on a 60X40 plot next to it has been selling power to them from his own home illegally. There is no hygiene and the place has turned into a breeding ground for mosquitos and diseases due to lack of hygiene and the air around stinks because of an open toilet that the occupants have built. The area also presents a clear security hazard as we are not sure about the background of the people staying there.

BBMP should take immediate action and have the place cleaned up and the owner should be billed for the same.

I request you to take urgent action. Thanks.
