Bhargav Dev, Bangalore

Hi,
I would suggest go for places like Hebbal, BIA, Bellary Road and Outer Ring Road or mere layouts like Sahakar Nagar which has many recent developments. Other areas in the neighbourhood include Kodigehalli, Sanjeevini Nagar and Thindlu.

What are the major destinations from the project and how far is it?

It is barely 3.5 km from Apollo Hospital, 4 km from IIM-B, 6.5 km from Jayadeva Flyover, 8 km from Electronics City and 9.5 km from Forum Mall.

Okay! Thats clear enough! But how far is the Bangalore International Airport than from the project??

The Bangalore International Airport is just 19.3 km away from the project and 27 minutes drive.

It is a good idea to invest in the project because the gated community at affordable price, Vaju Vijra bus services upto Attibele, metro phase 2 upto electronic city, alternative access roads to Sarjapur road and Whitefield through Attibele.

Really we are fed up of the poor quality of work provided by BBMP. Either Footpath is filled with construction debris or some are broken footpath. I feel walking on road side would be safer than using such footpaths. I am much worried about our elderly family facing such horrible experience.

Now another civic issue came to notice the broken footpaths and the open drains at Cambridge Layout. The fed up residents Cambridge Layout have taken the issue to Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) officials. The BBMP people have started working on the damaged storm water drain and also the footpaths.

Yes you are right, BBMP has been neglecting the task of cleaning the garbage for long time in many areas. No doubt BBMP has done lot of civic development work in the past by taking additional funds but it was not at all worth.

Yes I heard same about Radhakrishna Temple Ward and I too heard many residents even dump garbage near a railway track. But which are the main areas in the Radhakrishna Temple Ward facing the garbage problem?

There is no proper answer where BBMP is using the funds. The State’s Fiscal Discipline Act and Karnataka Transparency Act has been violated by the civic body. BBMP claim to have spent Rs 17,410.57 lakh under the Central Reserve Funds (CRF), however there is no such records to show on which project the money has been spent.

Till now BBMP or Karnataka government did not pay any attention regarding the drainage system in Bangalore. In many places drains have been dug up by BWSSB since one year and BBMP is still neglecting the situation. Major areas facing the drainage problem are Matthikere Lake, SBM Colony, Poornappa Garden, Sundar Nagar, Mohan Kumar Nagar, HMT Layout, etc .

Yes, recently the residents of JP nagar is taken the initiative to turn the environment of Bangalore to eco-friendly environment. The residents organized a walkathon on Sunday around Lalbagh West gate and Gandhi Bazaar spreading awareness about ban of plastic bags. These residents voiced out their concern against ban of plastic bags in the city.

Bangalore needs some serious initiative to save environment. Recently the JP Nagar residents have organized a walkathon.

Still now they have not decided yet as when to start the project because civil war is going on between the residents of the Prestige Monte Carlo apartments and local residents of the village.

Why are the residents of Prestige Monte Carlo apartments protesting against the road widening?

The commuters and residents in the areas like JP Nagar, CNR Rao Circle and Tagore Circle in Basavanagudi are fed up of the never ending grievances like potholes, civic work, garbage collection and even the metro construction is also not smooth going. But the BBMP people is busy in between scams and corruption and the life of the residents of the city has turned chaotic.

There is number of things which diifers an affordable project or middle income group home from luxury residential project. First thing is its price which would be starting from 1 crore for luxury residential and second thing is its amenities and extra space. In a luxury residential property buyer looks on lifestyle and its publicity is mainly through word-of-mouth.
Precautions you need to take are check builders credbility, the previous projects done by the builder and difference or time gap between deadline and project delivery etc.

According to the recent survey of Jones Lang LaSalle India (JLL), hike in property price, construction cost and other issues in real estate sector will lead to delay in Luxury residential projects http://www.commonfloor.com/stories/luxury-residential-projects-may-delay-11426
