Recently developed areas of Bangalore like C.V.Raman Nagar,Indra Nagar etc., are flooded by high rise apartments and thickly populated by IT personnel. These apartments are raised by realters commercially and sold out long back . Tha maintenance of these flats are in the hands of Flat Owners Associations. Most of the members of these associations are also IT personnel who let out them and they live elsewhere. Hence the regular maintenance are almost abandoned and the tenants do it of their own.
The water supply to these areas are in the hands of water mafia operating in those areas. They manage to see that either water lines are not laid or water is not supplied in the water line, so that the residents are compelled to purchase water at very high price from the members of this water mafia. The local representative of the Corporation, water supplier make a cartel and hold the residents at ransom. Immediately on one fine morning they will declare the cost one container of water supplied in tractor from the bore well in the very same locality. The residents who do not care to throw away the money demanded by these thugs, have to pay the price. If some owners refuse to pay they have to go without water. How long they can sustain? They are mostly migrants from other states and they are not in anyway equal to fight with the mafia.this is going on for more than a decade and each household is spending more than 3k every month for water alone and the mafia is making easy money in millions. When copious water is available in the bore well of the same locality sufficient enough for sale in tractors how is that there is no sufficient water in the new borewells being laid by the residents of their own? Here also the mafia see that the Borewell are not dug beyond a particular depth. The corporation is in slumber as they are all time busy with their own money spinning tactics.
Added to this the worstest roads, the unreasonable cost of living etc ., make a horrible living for the middle class. The city traffic is not at all regulated by anyone . Whatever be the rush the vehicle drivers have to regulate themselves. The roads havenot the metal liad for a long time and they are worst than a countryside. Dust is spread over anywhere and everywhere. Every one here seems to be waiting for a chance
to fleece the public at their will. Simple question they will ask is 'who asked you to come here'.
