They said that collection of garbage from  door to door has to be improved. They complain that pourakarmikas are not doing their job properly. “Garbage cleaning is not up to the mark. We want the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) authorities to take measures to streamline it,’’ said N Madhusudhan, a resident.

Recently, the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) has taken up replacing of old sanitary pipes. However, it failed to take asphalt the dug up portion of the road.

 “It is an example of perfunctory attitude of the authorities concerned. It will be better if the authorities ask the contractor concerned to re-asphalt this portion of the road,’’ said a housewife on condition of anonymity.

There is no acute shortage for water here. However, residents want the BBMP and BWSSB to maintain the status quo on water supply. “We were struggling for water four months ago. Now, the corporator has made the BWSSB authorities to supply water on regular basis. We expect the authorities to maintain it in future too,’’ said M Shashikala, a housewife.

A vacant site near the temple has become a nuisance for the residents. The overgrown weeds have become a breeding place for insects and mosquitoes. Heaps of garbage is seen on the vacant place.

“It is nauseating to see the garbage. The vacant site has become a parking place for trucks and other vehicles. It would be better if the BBMP authorities ensure this place free from weeds,’’ said a housewife on anonymity.

Meanwhile, G Manjunath Raju, corporator, says that efforts are being made to improve the cleaning of garbage.

“I want to introduce garbage segregating system at Kaadu Malleswara ward shortly. It will eliminate the problem of garbage,’’ Raju said.

On the supply of water, Raju said that four borwells were dug up recently to mitigate the water shortage problems. “I have taken up development work at dobhi ghat. An effluent treatment plant will be set up at the dobhi ghat shortly,’’ Raju added.
