Padmanabhanagar constituency is in the south of the city, mostly a residential area and close to the highway leading to Kanakpura. This area has mostly Brahmins and Vokkaligas. It has eight BBMP wards – Padmanabhanagar, Ganesha Mandira, Yediyur, Hosakerehalli, Karisandra, Banashankari Devasthana, Kumaraswamy Layout and Chikka Kallasandra. Some important landmarks here include PESIT and Dayananda Sagar institutions and ‘Deve Gowda petrol pump’. The former Chief Minister, Deve Gowda lives here, as does the poet G S Shivarudrappa.

Some areas here, such as Katriguppe, Ilyasnagar, Kaverinagar, Hittamandu and Umar Bagh show signs of utter neglect. They do not seem to have been given fundamental care or provision of healthcare. Poor, worn out sanitary lines, a lot of mosquitoes and stray dogs are other issues. ubiquitous mobile towers, overflowing manholes and lack of garbage disposal are also important issues. Vasanthpura Kalyani Lake has traditionally been associated with rich cultural rejuvenation, but now its encroachment and contaminations with sewage water are an issue of concern.

  • Number of voters in 2008:1,18, 689
  • Number of voters in 2013: 1,28,426
  • Number of voters registered now: 2,67,869

Fishers of Thiruvanmiyur Kuppam: Aborigines of the coast, not ‘Beach Grabbers’

by December 17, 2024 Governance
Fishers of Chennai's Thiruvanmiyur Kuppam challenge encroachment claims, defending their long-standing rights amid coastal development.

The dispute between the fishermen and the more affluent, non-fishing residents of Thiruvanmiyur and Besant Nagar has simmered for years, highlighting tensions over land use, development, and livelihoods. Acting upon the complaint from the residents (non-fishers) in the locality, the GCC demolished the temporary constructions made by the fishers of Thiruvanmiyur Kuppam in June this year. Being less than 40 metres from the coastline, they were termed encroachments. A mainstream news outlet even referred to fishers' construction as ‘beach robbery,’ emphasising concerns that the illegal construction of houses and pathways could lead to the loss of turtle nesting sites and…

by December 9, 2024 Governance
Citizens have strongly disapproved the slow progress on Bellandur Lake's rejuvenation project. Immediate intervention is needed to avoid failure.

Bellandur Lake, Bengaluru’s largest water body, has been at the heart of an ambitious rejuvenation project since 2020. However, persistent delays, severe funding shortages, and inadequate planning have left citizens increasingly frustrated. Time is slipping away, and without immediate government intervention, this critical environmental project risks failing. A recent meeting with government bodies shed light on the project’s stagnation and the urgent steps required to salvage it. Progress so far Desilting Work: Of the estimated 32.33 lakh cubic meters of silt, 22.69 lakh cubic meters (70%) have been removed, leaving 30% unfinished Early monsoons and slushy conditions have delayed progress…
