14th Main Flyover-HSR Layout

Traffic flow will be affected at the junction of 14th Main, HSR Layout, as Bangalore Development Authority has started flyover construction here. City traffic police have suggested an alternative route to avoid traffic woes, starting Saturday.

Since the construction of the flyover is expected to take three-fourths of the road at the junction, and work will continue for at least four months, vehicles plying from Marathahalli and Sarjapur on Outer Ring Road (ORR), towards Hosur Road, Central Silk Board and BTM Ring Road, will take the following route: Heavy vehicles are prohibited on HSR Ring Road 19th Main, towards BMTC depot (near Nanda Hotel).

Buses and trucks should take a left turn at 19th Main junction and move towards Cambridge 17th Cross to take a right turn to reach BDA junction to reach HSR 5th Main junction and then proceed towards their destination.

Cars and other light motor vehicles will have to reach the 17th Cross with 9th Main, from where they will have to take a left turn to reach HSR Ring Road.

The road between 9th Main of HSR Ring Road and till its junction with 19th Main (Nanda Hotel junction) will be made one-way. This would facilitate the movement of vehicles from Central Silk Board junction towards Agara.

Vehicles can take both left and right turn from 14th Main of HSR Ring Road to go towards Koramangala and various sectors of HSR Layout.

Accenture Outer Ring Road

Since the past three months, a group of bike-borne muggers has been targeting motorists on lonely stretches of the Outer Ring Road, especially between Bellandur and Marathalli, Iblur and Kaikondrahalli, and Kaikondrahalli and Wipro. They are bold enough to strike victims in broad daylight. Police say they strike only once or twice in a month.

Cops on alert
The HSR Layout police have sent e-mail alerts to residents and IT companies in the area. A four-man patrol squad has been formed to nab the gang. The mobile numbers of the officers/beat constables are:
Inspector Rajesh — 9448448833
Sub-Inspector Mirza Ali Raza — 9972833003
Ashok (towards Marathalli) — 9902660986 (on Cheetah)
Vijayamurthy (towards Iblur) — 9980834703 (on Cheetah)
Manjunath — 9845668681 (crime squad)
Ravindranath — 9980399551 (crime squad)

Incidents of highway thieves waylaying unsuspecting motorists are now all too common in the city.

The robbers’ modus operandi is to stop a motorist at a lonely spot, falsely accuse their target of causing injury to one of their number and then demand ‘compensation’ – sometimes at knife point.

A step further

Anup, a resident of Koramangala, was waylaid and robbed of cash and valuables, but the thieves added insult to injury by stripping him. They then clicked his nude pictures on their mobiles and blackmailed him into paying Rs 90,000 before making off with his car. Read more at BangaloreMirror

3rd Sector Park, yet to be developed

People from different parts of the country want to settle down in Bangalore not only because it has an equable climate but also because it is fast becoming a thriving cosmopolitan metropolis. So, everyone wants to own a house or a site here but there is a problem: Some people, after buying sites, do not care to maintain them, thus creating nuisance in the entire locality.
To control/stop this trend, BBMP has initiated a drive to clean up the vacant sites. This has been taken up seriously by the BBMP in the HSR Layout, which is a sign of some good development. The cleaning work started one week before, though the BBMP had sent the circular to this effect to the concerned ward office long ago.
“Initially it started in 3rd Sector and we have cleaned 14 sites so far in this sector. Now we have taken up work in 7th Sector. Other sites will get cleaned up based on the grievances received from the Residents’ Welfare Association and the general public,” a BBMP official said.
“The residents of 1st Sector have written to us to clean 40 sites in their sector. So our next priority will be that,” said T S Prasanna Kumar, Junior Engineer, Ward 174, and added, “The cost of cleaning will be tripled and reimbursed from the owner of the site as a penalty. This amount will be added to the property tax he is liable to pay. We are also writing to BDA about the cleaning of sites which belong to them. Later, we will consult the revenue officer to give us a clear picture of vacant sites. By this, our work will become easy and we can keep a proper account of the sites and their cleaning.”
The residents of HSR Layout are happy about this drive by BBMP and they have thanked Corporator Latha Narasimhamurthy who has initiated this move. They hope that maximum number of sites will be cleaned by BBMP as early as possible.

HSR 24th Main After Substation

Police Inspector L Y Rajesh shares tips to play safe and avoid losing your valuables to street robbery. Includes emergency contact numbers of HSR Layout police officials.

Recently a certain type of vehicle mugging cases is on the rise. They seem to be targeting IT employees specifically.

The areas that have been targeted are around Iblur junction, between Iblur and Marathahalli, or Iblur to Kaikondrahalli or Kaikondrahalli to Wipro.

Timings is usually between 11 am to 4 pm. The offenders are riding a black Pulsar.  They are two or three of them. The vehicle has a kannada registration number plate. Identification marks: One person is stout and has a dark complexion. Another one is lean with medium complexion.

MODUS OPERANDI

• They stop your vehicle on a pretext, saying that you caused an accident.
• Before stopping your vehicle, they continuously honk. Till the time you stop your vehicle, they are behind you.
• With little opportunity, immediately they sit inside your vehicle.
• They try to panic you by saying: by accident you have injured a person and compensation has to be paid.
• They tell you, you have to pay the amount immediately, as the injured person is the brother of a local don; If you don’t settle, the amount might be problem and they induce you to pay the money.
• They ask you to give the money, by drawing from an ATM.
• Usually they target a person driving alone in the vehicle.
• They will persuade you to pay the money, they speak Kannada and broken Hindi.
• They will take money or gold but not cell phone.

HOW TO PREVENT AND HOW YOU CAN HELP THE POLICE IN NABBING THEM

• If you come across such an incident, be bold, do not panic.
• Lock the internal locks of the vehicle. So that they cannot sit inside your vehicle.
• If by chance they get into your vehicle, get out immediately – you will be in a public place. Raise your voice and call the people around.
• Immediately take their photograph and as well as vehicle number plate with your cell phone.
• If they try to threaten you or manhandle you, keep a pepper spray as a defense and use it properly and carefully “if necessary”.
• In there are any such cases or even if you suspect any such persons in the locality, please call on the below mentioned cell phone numbers.
• If you are bold enough, immediately snatch their bike keys. Take their photographs, call the police, if the public are willing to help, secure them and hand over to police.
• If you are smart/tactful enough and can hold them in conversion, inform the police by way of SMS or call and assure that you will pay them and engage them till police reaches you.
• You can even tell them that you can arrange money from your friend and take them to place, where you know the people and then try to catch them with the help of known people and hand over them to police.

DON’TS

• Do not panic and give away all your valuables.
• Remember their operation is a planned one and even they are equally scared but they pretend to be courageous.
• Do not lose your temper. Be cool and handle the situation diplomatically.
• Don’t take too much risk and don’t risk your life – your safety is more important.
• Don’t get down from the vehicle. And don’t allow any stranger to get into your vehicle. If they chase, immediately call the police or reach the traffic police for help. Stop the vehicle where there a lot of people and take their help.

Please be bold. Bangalore is still safe. There is nothing to panic. We are optimistic that  we will be able to nab them. A squad comprising of four police personnel is formed to nab these fellows. Please remember our crime constables are now patrolling the same roads in plain clothes and their phone numbers is mentioned below. You can reach them for help either on the officers cell number, Cheetah number or Crime constable number.

We are glad to serve you and we are at your service 24/7 to help the needy and bring the culprits before the court of law. We look forward for your cooperation.
