Address:

Respected sir,
Sub: Complaint against Bharathi Service Station at Hirendahalli Road, Avalahalli
Opp Ferro Treaters – Bangalore -49

We, the residents, staying near BHARATHI SERVICE STATION would like to bring to your kind notice that, we are facing the following
Problems due to this service station being operated in our residential area;

In a residential layout having 20 feet road where there is no provision to turn the vehicles, they are servicing huge vehicles like dipper lorries,
Petroleum tankers, sheep vans, ambulances, sewage vehicles, JCB etc. [enclosing h/w few photos for your reference]

On 1.3.15, while taking the dipper lorry reverse, it came and dashed our house and damaged the compound, stairs and wall. In this regard
we have lodged a complaint in Avalahalli Police station.

There is lot of air pollution due to the chemicals/ diesel which is being sprayed to the vehicle.
The dirty water used for washing the vehicles fall on our house and on the persons moving in front of the service station
When there is no power, they will switch on the outdated generator – which creates huge noise.
There is lot of noise being created by the hydraulic jack when the pressure is released, while greasing the vehicles, while taking the vehicles
towards the ramp and while starting the vehicle.
There is no proper drainage system for the water used for washing and all the dirty stagnant water.
The entire road is used for vehicle parking heavy vehicles [before washing and after washing to wipe the vehicles], which blocks our movement
and creates a lot of disturbances for us and for our tenants especially ladies and children.
We are finding it very difficult to move on the road since the drivers will be sitting /standing near the service station. We are afraid of the safety
of children, ladies and family members who pass in front of the service station daily.
Even though, the residents in this area have spent huge money and constructed our houses, the tenants are not willing to stay and are vacating the houses due to
the above disturbances caused by the service station.
The children’s health and studies are getting affected due to the above disturbances of the service station.
We have already given complaint to Avalahalli Police Station, Bidaralli Panchayat office, Krishnarajapuram Taluk Office and Pollution control
board. But till date there is no improvement in the situation.
The Panchayat office is saying we need to contact Police and Police is saying we need to contact Panchayat office since they have given license
to operate this service station in a residential area.
Pollution control board is has also sent final notice dated 17.11.16 to the service station owner, but there is no improvement in the situation
We request you to please look into this matter since we are suffering from past 6 to 7 years due to this service station and help the residents to lead a peaceful life.

Yours faithfully,
DENZIL SELVAN
