Bangalore, Aug 14, 2013, DHNS:

The structures had come up on a civic amenity site in Govindarajanagar

More than 60 families of MRCR Layout in Govindarajanagar were in for a rude shock on Wednesday when their sheds were brought down within no time by the Bruhat Bangalore Mahangara Palike (BBMP) as part of a demolition drive.

Annamma, who has been living there for four years, was busy arranging the household items that she had spread out in front of her demolished home.

"The house owners had earlier assured us that we wont be thrown out of house. For each house, Rs 2,000 was fixed as rent and Rs 10,000 as advance. And, we had been paying rent regularly. This is injustice and where are we supposed to go now," questioned Annamma even as her grandson Manju was playing.

Over 60 Muslim and Hindu families, mainly labourers and vegetable vendors, resided in these 60-odd sheds. "The demolition was carried out following a direction from the City Civil Court. The sheds had come up on a civic amenity (CA) site. It has been encroached upon and sheds were built illegally. We have taken this step only after issuing many notices to the residents. Further, a high-tension power line runs over the CA site," said one of the BBMP engineers who was present during the time of demolition.

"We got a notice three months ago. But, when we showed it to the house owners, they said that nothing would happen. We got to know only on Tuesday night that Palike will demolish the houses the next morning. When we questioned the house owners, they washed their hands of the issue saying they too were helpless. Hence, my neighbours and I had shifted the household items, fearing eviction," said Meena, another resident. Some residents have started hunting for new homes in the locality. Many of them complained that the house owners are not refunding the advance money.

The BBMP sources said that they will fence the CA site soon and take necessary steps as per the orders of Palike Commissioner M Lakashminarayana.

BBMP razes illegal sheds, 60 families evicted

The appearance of unauthorised sheds in Kongahalli, a village in the Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve, has shocked naturalists and environmentalists.

The sheds were constructed for the benefit of pilgrims visiting the Mallikarjuna Swamy temple. K. Mohan Raj of the Tamil Nadu Green Movement (TNGM) said five years ago there were only a few sheds. Every year, the temple authorities as well as the local panchayats without obtaining permission from the Forest officials have constructed the sheds illegally. At present, there are 20 sheds, he said.

S. Jayachandran of the TNGM said festivals are held at the temple at least twice a year when thousands of pilgrims throng the place. Every time, the festival lasts a week.

During such occasions, nearly two tonnes of garbage get dumped in the area.

Dumping of garbage inside a tiger reserve will have a negative impact on the wildlife population, he said.

Mr. Jayachandran pointed out that it is not merely dumping of garbage in the area but also lack of proper disposal that is posing a major threat to the ecosystem as well as the endangered wildlife. Pointing out the absence of toilet facilities, Mr Jayachandran said the pilgrims defecate in open, which would also spoil the environment.

Das Shetty, a local tea shop owner in Kongahalli, said during festivals, nearly 15,000 pilgrims arrive at Kongahalli. They stay for two days during the festival time, he added.

Forest Department sources said after the Sathyamangalam area was declared as a tiger reserve, no new structure has been allowed in Kongahalli. Most of the structures are more than five years old.

The department did not grant permission to the temple authorities for building sheds for the pilgrims. Instead, the existing structures could be used, the sources added.

ANTELOPE (CBS13) Fire crews are putting out the remains of a fire that burned two mobile homes and two nearby sheds in Antelope.

The fire was still going at around 7:20 a.m. when our crews arrived at the fire on Doolittle Drive, just off of PFE Road.

Firefighters say the fire began behind one of the homes and quickly spread to the other structures. Three nearby homes on Winter Oak Way were evacuated as a precaution.

I just woke up, my mom freaked out, she woke me up and I went straight to the backyard and there was a huge black cloud, fire everywhere and I instantly called 911, said a resident.

Neighbors claim the person living at the home where the fire started is a hoarder; however, firefighters have not said whether the number of items in the home contributed to the blaze.

Officials are working to determine the exact cause of the fire.
