Hello friends, it's been a couple of weeks of tense drama and intrigue...    We have filed cases in Lokayukta, then also in Anti Corruption Bureau.  As the investigations have begun and officials are getting grilled, all of a sudden lake wardens arrived at the lake, and they prevented any work by the bbmp roads dept in the lake buffer zone!   

This is the first bit of positive news we have had in 5 months.  Most of the lake buffer zone greenery has been destroyed.  So also the rajakaluve buffer zone.  But if left alone, we hope they will regenerate....    As always thanks for support from all of you!

ROOT OF THE PROBLEM:

Why is the BBMP building an illegal road in RECORD HURRY?   Read on to find out:
