Another nail in the coffin of Bengaluru!? Another step by the Govt to convert Bengaluru into the IT SLUM of the world (if it isn't already?)... This @INCIndia sarkara in Bengaluru is backstabbing the city... repeatedly - one betrayal after another. Setting it up for a complete collapse! Our dear city is spiralling under dilution of laws by this Govt. The latest assault on Bengaluru by the Govt: Notification for One-time exemption from OC for Sites upto 2400SqFt with building upto G 3 or Stilt Parking G 3. There is a Supreme Court ruling in Dec 2024, which specifically says “Electricity, water supply, sewerage connection, etc., shall be given by the service provider / Board to the buildings only after the production of the completion/occupation certificate.” So, this notification is a direct contempt of the Supreme Court. Our politicians have no understanding of 'Rule of Law' or 'Constitutionality'. They only carry constitution in their pockets for marketing, they don't follow the law. At this rate, the slummification of Bengaluru will accelerate, looks like we are speeding to our doom. Citizens need to file a contempt petition in the Supreme Court against the Govt of Karnataka, for all these malicious orders that have been passed in the past few years: a) B to A khata conversion, b) Setback relaxation, c) Premium FAR, d) 15% deviation regularisation, e) Amendments of Zoning regulations in RMP 2015, f) OC exemption. These are not relief to citizens, these are relief to violators! Why should law abiding citizens and the city suffer in order to appease the law violators? All of them defeat the very basis of Planned Development. Bengaluru is already crumbling under the weight of Unplanned Devt. It cannot take any more. Why have laws at all if they are going to be diluted? We might as well scrap all laws, and let everyone do whatever they please. At least law abiding citizens are not make to look like fools..? It appears that the Government of Karnataka has learnt little from recent urban disasters and fire tragedies that have exposed the consequences of regulatory dilution and weak enforcement. Instead of strengthening compliance and ensuring accountability, the Government is once again proposing amendments that largely benefit real estate interests and effectively regularise or accommodate practices that were previously considered violations. Rather than enforcing planning norms in the larger public interest, the Government seems intent on weakening them. This creates a dangerous cycle: developers increasingly proceed on the expectation that any violations or deviations will eventually be legitimised through subsequent amendments. Such a regulatory culture encourages disregard for the law and undermines respect for planning institutions. Bengaluru is already witnessing widespread lawlessness in urban development, with inadequate infrastructure, recurring flooding, traffic congestion, pressure on water resources, and increasing safety concerns. At a time when stronger oversight and stricter standards are required, the proposed amendments move in the opposite direction by promoting greater density and reduced safeguards without corresponding investments in public infrastructure. This represents a serious abdication of the Government's responsibility to protect the public interest. The role of planning laws is not merely to facilitate construction, but to ensure orderly, safe, and sustainable development. Policies that prioritise short-term commercial interests over public safety, environmental protection, and the carrying capacity of the city risk accelerating the deterioration of Bengaluru's quality of life and exposing citizens to avoidable hazards. A modern city cannot be built on a foundation of weakened regulations and retrospective concessions. Sustainable urban growth requires the Government to uphold the rule of law, strengthen enforcement, and place the long-term welfare of citizens above the demands of vested interests. @CMofKarnataka @DKShivakumar @krishnabgowda @RahulGandhi @GBA_office @GBAChiefComm @mlkhattar @MoHUA_India @NITIAayog @Secretary_MoHUA @Tejasvi_Surya @PCMohanMP @civicbangalore @CAFBengaluru @bengalurupost1 @BengaluruAgenda @BAFBLR @NammaBNP @BangaloreRepair @whitefieldwards @Nammawhitefield @CivicOp_india @NandanNilekani @PrasadBidapa @TVMohandasPai @ashwinmahesh @BelawadiBlr @nnarasimhan @BrindaAdige @SandeepAnirudha @psridharp @srikanthn1975 @Infosys_nmurthy @lkatheeq @kris_sg @kiranshaw @C40cities @CitiesForum_org @CitiesQuestion @IndianUrbanist @NIUA_India @NewUrbanism @SustDev @g20org @iiscbangalore @osd_CMKarnataka @pmoindia @smartccouncil @uclg_org #Slummification #Bengaluru #SaveBengaluru #UrbanHeatIsland #ClimateEmergency #ITSLUM #SiliconSlum #BrandBengaluru #UnplannedDevelopment #ConcreteCity #SustainableCities #UrbanCrisis #ActNow #ClimateCrisis #MasterPlanning #74thAmendment #UrbanGovernance #UrbanRuin #IllegalBuildings #IllegalLayouts #UnauthorisedConstructions #PGSLUMS #ConcreteSlums #SiliconOven #ClimateChange #SustainableDevt #PlannedDevt

🔥 BENGALURU IS BURNING! AND THIS IS POLICY-MADE 🔥 Bengaluru is touching 40°C this summer. Let that sink in. This is not just climate change. This is man-made disaster - driven by bad governance and worse policy. Look at the heat map of the city: • Older Bengaluru still breathes - trees, open spaces, planned layouts • East Bengaluru? - PG Slums, illegal layouts, illegal buildings, unauthorised construction - Concrete heat traps with no shade, no planning, no relief - dense, unplanned construction with no green cover (Concrete Slums) This is the Urban Heat Island effect in action - and it is getting worse every year. This is not just a planning failure - it is a governance failure. It is very clear that we have had incompetent and irresponsible Govts since the 80's; consequently, violations are rampant. Bengaluru has been on a steady decline, ever since. And what is the Government doing? Fixing it? No - It is Legalising the problem. Instead of cracking down on illegal constructions and chaotic growth, the State is rewarding violations: ❌ B-Khata to A-Khata Conversion - legalising illegal layouts / subdivisions / bifurcations ❌ Setback Relaxation - packing buildings wall-to-wall ❌ Premium FAR - cramming more concrete into broken infrastructure ❌ 15% Deviation Regularisation - turning violations into the new normal This is not governance. This is surrender. For decades, rules were ignored. Now, violations are being officially endorsed. These measures do not solve the problem - they reward and perpetuate it. These actions are in conflict with established planning norms and Supreme Court Orders, raising serious questions about rule of law in urban governance. The result? 👉 A city that was once a Garden City is now a heat island 👉 Lakes vanish, trees disappear, and citizens are left to suffer 👉 Infrastructure collapses under unplanned density 👉 Summers become unbearable — especially for the most vulnerable And yet, we hear slogans about making Bengaluru “world-class”. You cannot build a global city on illegal layouts, illegal buildings, zero planning, and ecological destruction. This is not just incompetence anymore. This is a betrayal of the city. We cannot claim to aspire to global standards while ignoring the fundamentals: ▪️ Scientific master planning ▪️ Decentralised governance (74th Amendment) ▪️ Public consultation ▪️ Strict enforcement of regulations ▪️ Protection of ecological assets WE DEMAND: ⚠️ Immediate rollback of all four regressive policies ⚠️ Strict enforcement against illegal constructions - NO REGULARISATION ⚠️ Functional Metropolitan Planning Committee (74th Amendment) ⚠️ Science-based, climate-sensitive urban planning ⚠️ Protection and restoration of Bengaluru’s green and blue networks Bengaluru is at a tipping point. If we don’t act now, we are locking ourselves into a hotter, harsher, unliveable future. This is not just about policy. This is about survival. If the Government is serious, it must stop legitimising violations and instead create a redevelopment authority with real powers - to take over illegal layouts and illegal buildings - through due process and rebuild them to legal standards, with proper infrastructure and environmental safeguards, while penalising the developers. @CMofKarnataka @siddaramaiah @DKShivakumar @GBA_office @GBAChiefComm @mlkhattar @MoHUA_India @NITIAayog @Secretary_MoHUA @Tejasvi_Surya @PCMohanMP @civicbangalore @CAFBengaluru @bengalurupost1 @BengaluruAgenda @BAFBLR @BangaloreRepair @whitefieldwards @Nammawhitefield @CivicOp_india @NandanNilekani @PrasadBidapa @TVMohandasPai @ashwinmahesh @BelawadiBlr @nnarasimhan @BrindaAdige @HariniNagendra @SandeepAnirudha @psridharp @srikanthn1975 @Infosys_nmurthy @lkatheeq @kris_sg @kiranshaw @C40cities @CitiesForum_org @CitiesQuestion @IndianUrbanist @NIUA_India @NewUrbanism @SustDev @g20org @iiscbangalore @osd_CMKarnataka @pmoindia @rajeevgowda @smartccouncil @uclg_org #Bengaluru #SaveBengaluru #UrbanHeatIsland #ClimateEmergency #UnplannedDevelopment #ConcreteCity #SustainableCities #UrbanCrisis #ActNow #ClimateCrisis #MasterPlanning #74thAmendment #UrbanGovernance #UnplannedDevt #UrbanRuin #IllegalBuildings #IllegalLayouts #UnauthorisedConstructions #PGSLUMS #ConcreteSlums #SiliconOven #SiliconSlum #ClimateChange #SustainableDevt #PlannedDevt #Masterplan #MPC

Bellville.

🇳🇬 has had decades of an unforged birth boom. Our population since 1960 has exploded beyond what is developmentally scalable for a severely underdeveloped country. No altruistic government won’t require a Tunde for at least decades to come.

Eldoret City could be a giant economy, but the leadership and tribal interests hang on it like an anchor. Sa hii you hear them say its Kikuyus vs Kikuyus fighting trade wars, hooo Kales shouldn't be blamed.....but what they aren't telling you is that their leaders have hijacked a genuine trade war to execute their hidden grand plan - drive traders from Eldoret Town while hiding behind its 'Kikuyus vs Kikuyus'. Such never happens anywhere in Kikuyuland or Nairobi. This is not the first time that the Yamune Cartel is attempting to drive traders out of the town, replacing them with their people from Nandi County, Mosoriot, Ziwa and other interior regions. Let them be told that Kikuyus living and working in Eldoret is not a favor. Nobody is going anywhere, Eldoret ndio home.

- Traffic: it will get bad. There are no solutions to it. - Everything is incredibly expensive. What was 10 Rs a few years ago is close to 200 Rs today. Inflation is Zimbabwe level. - Hospitality even at the high end- sucks. People should be trained to say No- if they can’t.
