DANGERS?

WILL OUR GROUND WATER AQUIFERS BE AFFECTED - WILL THE WATER CRISIS WORSEN? WILL THE WELLS DRY UP?
WILL BUILDINGS AND FOUNDATIONS BE AFFECTED? WILL SINKHOLES BE CAUSED?
WILL THE GREENERY OF THE CITY BE AFFECTED?
WHEN THE STATE HAS A FUND CRUNCH, HOW CAN THE GOVT PROPOSE SUCH EXPENSIVE PROJECTS BY MORTGAGING STATE PROPERTIES! IS THIS ETHICAL?
EMMISSIONS WILL BE INCREASED IN THE TUNNELS AND IN THE VICINITY OF EXHAUST CHIMNEYS - WHO ALL WILL BE EXPOSED TO THIS HEALTH HAZARD?
HOW MANY TREES WILL BE AXED?
SWD BUFFER ZONE VIOLATION IS IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF LAWS ON BUFFER ZONES. LAKE WATER QUALITY WILL BE AFFECTED?
WHO ARE THERE PROJECTS BENEFITTING? ONLY 3% OF THE POPULATION WHO OWN CARS. WHY ARE THE STATES RESOURCES BEING WASTED ON SUCH A SMALL PRIVILIGED POPULATION, WHEN THE GENERAL MASSES ARE NOT BEING BENEFITED. WHY NOT SPEND THE SAME MONEY ON BUYING 20,000 BUSES, OR MORE METRO AND SUBURBAN RAIL, MORE LAST MILE CONNECTS?

ALERT - NOW THE GOVT WISHES TO VIOLATE THE BUFFER ZONES OF SWDS ALSO BY BUILDING ROADS ON THEM ILELGALLY - VIOLATION OF WETLAND RULES, NGT RULES, AND OTHER LAWS!

THE MANY REASONS WHY THE INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS BEING ANNOUNCED FOR BENGALURU ARE UNDESIRABLE, ILLEGAL AND DESTRUCTIVE!

All of these projects are non-plan, they are not part of an operative Masterplan issued by the prescribed planning authority, ie., the Metropolitan Planning Committee. Hence, they are non-statutory and violative of the constitution, (Nagarpalika Act - 74th Amendment of the Constitution).
These projects are not part of the Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP) by the BMLTA as well, hence violative of the BMLTA Act. BMLTA Act S.19 violation, where a project cannot be taken up by Govt without approval of BMLTA, and there are penalties for officials if they do so, and the project can be demolished.
These projects are also violative of the Karnataka Town & Country Planning Act, under which any town planning scheme mandatorily requires Environment Impact Assessment (EIA), Social Impact Assesment (SIA) and Public Consultation.
In WP 48720/2014 (MPC) in the High Court of Karnataka there is an operational Interim Order that stays all projects that are launched by the Karnataka Govt without formation of MPC. Hence, introduction of these projects is a direct violation or the order, and Contempt of the Honourable Court.
In WP15806/2007 in the High Court of Karnataka, the judgement literally declared the RMP 2015 void due to violation of due process, ie, MPC / 74th Amendment. The Govt is perpetrating this violation by not constituting the MPC and masterplan.
Observations in SC Judgement calling Bengaluru a template for urban ruin due to unplanned development - 5533_2022_8_1501_40894_Judgement_10-Jan-2023, and asking Govts to make Environment Studies necessary before permitting Urban Development, and directions to the SC Registry to share the judgement with cabinet secretaries and chief secretaries of all states.
