Dear Sir,
Sub: CA site earmarked for park at HBR layout 5th block,1st stage.

As you are aware that HBR layout was formed in the year 1986 by BDA and was transferred to CMC first and further to BBMP for easy administration, without doing any appropriate and proper developments, particularly the 5th block segment.

During the layout formation BDA had earmarked 18 guntas of land for a park in 18th main, please refer the plan attached to this letter for the location of park; but even after the lapse of 22 years no park has come in this site. Because of your (BDA/CMC/BBMP) inaction only the land mafia gang tried to knock of this prime land many times. The construction activities of the mafia on this land were stalled by BDA each time by demolishing the construction. This has been brought to your kind notice and request was made for developing a park vides our letters dated 15/12/2005 and 22-6-09. Now this site is being occupied by some slum dwellers by constructing temporary sheds. Residents of this area feel that some illegal activities are going on during night time and fear to come out of their houses.

CA site earmarked for park is now in the hands of land grabbers

                        CA site supposed to be a park lying vacant for over 22 years,whom to be blamed
When we informed about this matter to Mr.Jayachandra.BE, KES during his visit to our layout on 18th Dec ’09, he had instructed Mr.Vijayakumar, AE to look into the matter and arrange to demolish the sheds immediately. But to our dismay nothing has happened till today. If you leave it for some more time, then land grabbers will swallow it. Therefore we request you once again to kindly look into the matter and save this precious site as there is no other CA site in this area from land grabbers and convert it to a park immediately.


Please note that there was a CA site in 19th main, behind site No.1283 C (36th cross) and now it’s missing. Kindly look into the matter and investigate.

Thanking you,
Regards
A.Rajagopal
