Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike [BBMP] — Access to BBMP Swimming Pools

Address:

J P Nagar, Bengaluru

Dear Sir/Madam, I have a serious concern about the ' Policy decision' on usage of the swimming pool. There are eight batches available for citizens to use and as a woman, there is one batch between 3:30 PM to 4:30 PM available for me to swim. All the general batches are available for 'Men' Only.
When I raised a concern about this kind of discriminatory and sexist policy, the management there mentioned there were many women who complained about this-but they cannot act on it as this is the policy across all Bengaluru BBMP pools. They were also concerned over Women Safety. This is an unfortunate excuse and a corrective action needs to be taken. I have learnt swimming in PM Swimming pool and have come there in general batches as a youngster. This being denied to me and my daughter in 2022, in Bengaluru is shocking and has disturbed me. Request you to take appropriate action and correct the so called ' Policy' decision.
Thanking you, Regards
Radika
