1. There is not a single improvement done by this councillor
2. The roads are pathetic, the area is full of polution, no water supply

4. Still the drainage connections are pending on our area

I am a Central Goverment Pensioner attached to CGHS Dispensary No.8, Domlur,Bangalore 560071.The condition of Road infront of CGHS Dispensary is very bad for almost six months.It has become worst after the rain and is very slippery. I uderstand that the Road was dug by BWSSB for laying down huge pipes. I request the Corporator concerned to take necessary action to get the road repaired on priority basis considering that in an average about 150 central government employees/pensioners and their relatives visit this Dispensary daily for treatment.

1. Drainage system is not good
2. No one comes to clean the gutter or the drinage.
3. No Councillor comes to this place.
4. No proper water facility.
5. All garbage waste are just lying everywhere on the road.
