Construction without setback
This is to bring to the notice of the authorities that in Banjara Layout, Horamavu, which is adjacent to our house, construction work is going on in survey numbers 57, 58, 60 and 61, with little regard to the BBMP rules on leaving the setback. Walls at the under-construction sites are being erected adjoining our compound wall. When we raised objections, the owner ignored our complaint.
It may also be noted that there is neither a sewage line here nor have drinking water facilities been extended to our locality. The occupants/owners are supposed to dig pits for sewage lines. Such arrangements, however, are not in place at these construction sites.

Paint median strips
Most of the concrete median strips on the city's roads are either not painted as per the prescribed specifications or the paint has faded. Added to this is the insufficient illumination of roads at night. These things pose a constant safety hazard for motorists. The authorities should launch a special drive to paint all median strips in reflective double colours.

Traffic signal required
The cross road of Devarachikkanahalli main road, near Evershine department store adjacent to Vijaya Bank Layout, has become a bottleneck as there is always a traffic jam during peak hours. The authorities are requested to instal a traffic signal at the junction to ease the congestion and enable free flow of traffic. In the meantime, a policeman could be posted to regulate traffic.

BMTC buses badly maintained
Some BMTC buses need to be upgraded. For instance, a BMTC bus plying on route No 95 and originating at Shivajinagar (KA O1F 8995) is in a poor condition with its windowpanes being jammed.

Thursday jam in Vidyaranyapura
The Sai Baba temple in Vidyaranyapura is visited by hundreds of devotees, especially on Thursday. The streets leading to the temple are crammed with two-wheelers and cars, leaving no space for pedestrians. The temple management, with the help of the traffic police, should provide alternative parking space.

Footpath needs improvement
The footpath at 12th Main Road near Ideal Homes, Rajarajeshwari Nagar, is unusable. It is not safe for pedestrians to walk on the narrow and broken footpath. The footpath should be widened to benefit pedestrians.

Complete flyover work
Despite many complaints to the authorities concerned, no action has been taken to
complete the flyover near the Baiyappanahalli railway cross. At a time when
commuters in this part of the city are put to hardship, the state government is busy allocating funds for a steel flyover from Chalukya Hotel to Hebbal. Our MLA K J George, who happens to be the Bengaluru development minister, is also not taking any interest in completing the flyover.

Dangerous footpath at Yeshwantpur Circle
The footpath at Yeshwantpur Circle, adjoining Salarpuria Luxuria apartment, has been in a dilapidated condition for several months now with numerous holes making it unusable for pedestrians. I filed a complaint at BBMP's Sahaya website last week but no action has been taken to cover the holes. I also sent an e-mail to the BBMP and appealed to the local MLA to fix the holes. This is a widely used footpath at one of the citys main intersections. Hope the BBMP attend to our complaint and get the footpath fixed at the earliest.

Vacant site left untended
A vacant site at 3rd Cross, Lalbagh, Siddapura, Jayanagar 1st Block, has become a dumping yard, leading to an increase in mosquitoes. Cases of dengue have been reported in the locality, with the latest victim being a child living adjacent to the vacant site. The owner has turned a deaf ear to our pleas to keep the site clean. It is an ardent request to the authorities to make the owner accountable for the same.
