*Subject : Serious difficulty caused for day to day living due to newly installed BMTC bus stand in front of our house.*

Madam/ Sir,

I am 70 and my wife is 65.We live alone at above address on 100 feet road near Raghavendra Mutt. All our children are settled abroad. We both have co-morbidity issues with our health.

2 months ago, without any intimation or notice, a team landed at 9PM in front of our house and in an overnight operation, a new BMTC bus stop was installed in front of our house. I protested and requested everyone to wait for a day. They refused saying they have orders from higher Authorities. I was helpless and could not stop them

From that day, we are facing serious difficulties in our day to day living for the following reasons.

The buses create a very disturbing screeching sound for 10 seconds at the stop, which seems like an accident. This happens until midnight and starts again at 5 a.m. in the morning. we are not able to sleep at night everyday due to this reason, when the buses are operating.

Approach to the existing gates are lined with coconut trees from which coconuts fall at regular intervals .One week ago my wife escaped being hit and she fell down and was in shock. She was subjected to CT scan . She is now on treatment .For this reason we want to immediately install a gate at the middle of the compound wall to prevent any accidents for incoming and outgoing people . we cannot do this as the bus stop blocks the way.

Therefore, I request You to kindly take immediate steps on Humanitarian consideration to shift the bus stop to a different location.

*Suggested Solution* .

This bus stop was earlier located 100 feet ahead of our house, where there are no inhabitants in the house for the last 25 years as they are settled abroad. It would be possible to relocate this bus stop to this new location without much difficulty.

I hope you will recognize the gravity of the situation and help us with immediate action to allow us to live peacefully for the remaining period of our life.

Thanking you,
yours faithfully,

Anantha, owner
