Iam a resident of Ramamurthynagar, would like to give some comments on the person who is said to be the councillor of this ward:
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
3. So far watever is done was only by the MLA – Nandish reddy and nothing as been done by this councillor
4. Still the drainage connections are pending on our area
If these people are not capable enough to make any difference, why at all they come to power?
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.
I am Shal residing at Anandapuram, jeevan bhimanagar. my points are:
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.
6. The drainage in front of the houses are not covered as it is in other areas.
7. There are only water pipes in our area but no water is coming for the past 5 – 6 years in most of the places.
Need immediate action on this as the children in this area are suffering very badly due to this environment.
