Respected Sir,
Sub: Civic problems in HBR layout 5th block, 1st stage.

We the members of HBR layout 5th block Residents Association would like to submit the following grievances and civic related problems faced by us. Though our layout is in existence for the last 20 year there is no much development work taking place.

As follows:

1. A walkover bridge was constructed on the storm water drainage to connect the 5th block’ separated by the big storm water drainage. This small, 4feet wide bridge has no parapet wall on either side; this may endanger the small school going children. So we request you to provide either parapet wall or some grill work immediately to avoid any untoward incidents.

2. BBMP had taken up the work of fencing the storm water drainage on either side by using barbed wires and left halfway. This work is not completed between walk over bridge and bridge on19th main road both sides of drainage. Because of this many people throw their debris/garbage into the drainage which causes drain blockage and in rainy seasons it overflows into layouts.

2.1. The big SWD gives rise to many problems and if it is not covered with concrete slab, then it proves dangerous.

3. A request was made with the BESCOM authorities to fix Halogen lamps at corners and road junctions of 5th block layout to avoid accidents, but so far nothing has happened.

4. The asphalting work has not been taken up in this segment since several years and there are innumerable potholes. Recently BBMP has done asphalting/tarring of all main roads in 5th block (i.e. from 15th main to 19th main road and left half the way. All cross roads (i.e. from 21st cross to 45th cross) were not done. In 19th main, near the bridge it was left halfway. The condition of roads (i.e 30th C main-KEB office road, extension roads of 17&18th main and 21st to 26th cross roads) on the other side of storm water drain is in very horrible state. We remember that some time back there was some inaugural pooja, near KEB office to lay the roads, but later nothing had happened.

5. Revamping of the side drains in 5th block to be done in full pledged manner. This work was also done in some roads and left half the way.

6. Some measures to be taken up to control the buffalo, cow and stray dog menace. All these animals roam in the streets of the layout, causing inconvenience to the residents and also to motorists/two wheelers.Please note that there is no health inspector for our layour for the past one year.

7. The waste management team is dumping garbage in the middle of residential location i.e. in front of site No.1193 and adjacent to 27th cross. And this gives very stinking smell when you enter 17th main. Please take action to shift this location to a safer place.

8.As there is no Health centre,Library and a park in our segment,we request you to kindly provide these amenities.

9.Too much weeds and grasses have grown up on both sides of all roads and its to be cleaned and made pavements.So our layout is seen with lot of goats,cows and buffalos grassing all the time.

Trusting your good selves and please do the needful to solve the above issues.

Thanking you,

With regards
