After continuous surveys for two days in Mahadevapura, the Bruhat Bengaluru MahanagaraPalike (BBMP) resumed the anti-encroachment drive on Monday

The BBMP removed structures in five places in Mahadevapura, said officials. The officials demolished an RCC bridge built on a sewage treatment plant (STP) of the BWSSB near Marathahalli police station.

Senior BBMP officials said: “An apartment compound built on an SWD near Garudacharpalya lake has been removed, while a shed and a road constructed on SWD behind the Purva Parkridge has also been removed”.

Meanwhile, in the Wipro campus in Doddakannelli, the BBMP has completed a survey and found an SWD, which is about 2.4 metres, blocked by slabs. Officials from BBMP said that they have cleared the slabs.

Encroachments were cleared at Greenwood residency, Vijayalaxmi colony, and notices have been given by the civic body to eight houses that allegedly encroached on the drains.
