 Fresh Fresh Veggies If all goes well as per BDA’s plan, the residents of HSR Layout can have a Big Vegetable Market on the lines of Raithara Santhe located elsewhere in Bangalore, where Fresh Veggies will be sold at reasonable prices. The proposed markets would be built on public private partnership. Of the 39 localities, 10 have already been identified: Cambridge Layout, HSR Layout, HAL II Stage, Jnanabharathi Layout, Vidyaranyapura, BDA ward office, Kothanur, Banashankari VI Stage, Anjanapura Township and two sites at Sir M Visvesvaraya Layout. Of the remaining 29 sites, 10 are in Bangalore East, four in Bangalore West, four in Bangalore North and 11 in Bangalore South.Around 20 per cent of the constructed area can be used for commercial purpose. According to BDA estimates, the private partner will have to spend `15,000 to construct every square metre. This takes the estimated cost of all the markets to around `107.13 crore. The BDA is planning to share the market with a private partner who is willing to give it the maximum area after constructing the market at its own cost. The BDA will fix the area that can be given to private players after assessing the market value of each site. Continue reading BDA’s Vegetable Market to come at 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)

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. Continue reading Be Alert-Muggers on Prawl on Outer Ring Road
 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.
