I think this is an alarm for all the builders who have encroached land for construction purpose. There was another news few days ago about 72-acre SEZ-cum-township near Bellandur Lake for which people residing in that area are facing so many issues.

According to survey report, Iblur lake was spread across an area of 18 acres and 6 guntas, but the area has been reduced to 7 acres and 32 guntas. There were around 17 encroachment on the lake bed which includes some of the premium builders as well.

It is not a rumor but the truth that some of the portions of Sobha Garnet were razed down by civic authorities supposedly standing on four guntas of encroached land of Iblur lake. Some other projects which are also in encroached land are Sun City five guntas and Sunshine seven guntas.

A portion of a six-storey apartment complex, a parking lot, a warehouse, a sump, a garden, two shopping complexes and 14 sheds of a crematorium were demolished. Later, they are going to dig two roads in the encroached portion.
