Even before the onset of Monsoon, Bangalore received a good spell of rains, but the BBMP as usual was not prepared and the citizens suffered.

But, as a responsible citizen, cannot blame the system or the BBMP alone.

Illegal construction, blockage of drains, construction in the low lying areas are the main reasons for the flooding.

The revenue sites and the Converted layouts have blocked the normal flow of water in the canals, by forming illegal and unauthorised layouts and blaming the administration for their own mistake.

Water borne diseases are on the rise and the ground water is contaminated beyond repair.

All these illegal layouts discharge highly toxic sewage into the valleys or raja kaluve or in the soakpit, thus the lakes became poisonous and the ground water is highly contaminated as untreated sewage is let into the ground.  Later, the same people, drill borewell and use the contaminated water, resulting in skin and respiratory disorders.

All the social media abuzz with the dangers of water, air and noise pollution.  All these talks only on the internet and nothing useful has come out of it, till date.

Noise pollution is affecting the children, much more than the elders.  Everyday, the vehicles emit poisonous gases and ALTERED (ILLEGAL) SILENCERS AND THE SHRILL HORNS, POSE MAJOR RISK TO THE HEARING PROBLEMS.

The Police, the kspcb and the RTO have turned blind eye towards these illegal alterations and noise pollution.  The normal parameter set by the CPCB is 75db in the residential areas, whereas the vehicles, spew venom and with their shrill horns and silencers, make life miserable with 100db to 200db sound, which will make any normal human being DEAF, very soon.
