BBMP to resume encroachment clearance drive

Bengaluru | Sunday | 22nd July, 2018

Summary:

I have asked them to submit certified drawings of the encroachments and to mark encroachments at the site itself. In the last two years, the civic agency briefly restarted the drive on more than three occasions, but failed to continue it vigourously. While there is a balance of 728 encroachments from the earlier survey, the results of different surveys can vary. One survey number can have more than one encroachment. BENGALURU: The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike BBMP ), which had halted its stormwater drain (SWD) encroachment clearance drive in August 2016, is now preparing to restart the exercise.While the Palike claimed it had been forced to stop the drive due to shortage of surveyors, many suspected that the initiative had succumbed to the rich and powerful after it ran into their properties standing on drains..
