The residents also complain that garbage cleaning is not done on a regular basis. Heaps of garbage were seen at a few cross roads. The other problem in this area includes the lack of space for vegetable market.

They said that many appeals were made to the BBMP authorities to provide a suitable place for the vegetable market.

As of now, the vendors sell vegetables on a narrow lane adjacent to a public park thus causing total inconvenience to motorists using this road. ‘‘This road becomes slushy whenever it rains. The BBMP authorities are yet to asphalt this road,’’ said Ratnamma, a housewife.

The vegetable vendors also raise a concern over the lack of toilets. ‘‘Earlier, a public toilet was opened at the public park. After a few weeks, the toilet was closed down. Now, it has become difficult for us to find a place to attend to nature’s call,’’ said a vegetable vendor on anonymity.

Many people complain about the lack of playground for the benefit of children. They say that there is no place even to organise a cultural programme. “I do not know what made the BBMP authorities convert the vacant place, that was convenient for organizing public meetings or cultural programmes, into a park. No one is benefited from this park except for politicians, officials and the contractor,’’ said Nagesh Gowda, an advocate.

The residents also complained against the irregular supply of water.

Meanwhile, M B Govinda Gowda, Corporator, said that he was trying his best to provide facilities with the available funds. ‘‘The BBMP is yet to release funds to take up development work even after six months. I am waiting for BBMP to release the funds,’’ said Govinda Gowda.

Gowda said that he has already written a letter to the BBMP to construct toilets for the benefit of vegetable vendors. ‘‘I am yet to receive a reply from the BBMP authorities,’’ Gowda said.

On the heaps of garbage, the corporator said the BBMP has not engaged a new contractor to dispose off the garbage. “There are only five vehicles to transport the garbage. We need two more vehicles to clear the garbage from this area,’’ the corporator said.

On water shortage, he said that nine borewells were dug up before BBMP elections and four more recently.

“I agree there is a shortage for drinking water. Efforts are being made to improve the water supply,’’ he said.
