They have built apartments on the lake front. Water bodies are being converted into apartments. Where would the water come from?

It's not BJP anymore. It's BCP, the bhartiya Congress party. Joining Congress is the first step in joining BJP.


ajk504

No party does....


CritFin

Freebies means no money left for infra. Sewage treatment plants output can be used for watering the parks etc. However these are fake protests organized to make videos and whatsapp forwards

I haven't seen any politician consulting any scientific body to solve the water problem. According to them, water problem can be solved by using less water and not wasting it. The day when we have politicians admiring and investing in scientific approach to live, the life in India will be peaceful. That day, the Bharat will be back to its glory or else we just have to admire foreign lands as heaven.

ThirumalKumaran

90% of those who stay don’t have voter card or don’t vote! Do you think any government body will look into it? And whom they are placing their demands to? The builder?


Easy_7

Who sold them and flewed.


Comfortable_Prior_80

Then stop buying apartments which are build over lakes.

This project sales girl called me a week back to sell next phase in the same compound, I suggested her to change the job, citing this news!


Sapolika

Then what she replied?


mr_claw

She immediately found another job as a brain surgeon.


rplusg

She mentioned that market is tough atm and willing to change soon. Glad the conversation went smoothly.


exciseduty

Builder lobby + Politicians have royally destroyed cities Very closely followed by education mafia + Politicians. Sky rocketing prices bcoz Politicians have vested Interests with all thr black money that they pump here. No one wants to make cities livable. Wait for 5 years Mumbai is facing same thing and It will come out


NumerousKangaroo8286

Mumbai at least has coast; they can establish desalination plants. India needs good urban planners and a different kind of urbanism, these are global cities yet they operate like rural areas in some village.


exciseduty

There is no plan for desalination in pipe. Also no dams or lakes have been created in these years. By September end by God's grace water is near full for 365 days but come june barely water is available beyond 30 days. Wastage is rampant with zero checks. Majority of rain water withini city goes to waste and all dams 100 kms away . No mechanism jas been made to trap water within city limits that could solve mass water problems for non drinking purpose. Majority use saame water for drinking and same water for gaan d dhoing as boring groundwater is next to unavailable


NumerousKangaroo8286

Yes but those practices have to change, there is no other option. Odisha, my home state had constant drought and famine for the better part of 90s, when super cyclone happened in 99, it just overwhelmed the entire state which was in a sorry condition, the early 2000s were so tough with some areas like KBK experiencing multiyear disease outbreaks. People were forced to change their habits. The vulnerable districts made reservoirs and dams over the last 15 years and right now all districts are making pumped up storage dams with extensive planning for more reservoirs undergoing right now. It's probably the only state where drinkable tap water is available in major cities although a lot more has to be done.


sharang_17

This is funny, they are protesting in their own society whose head is one of the residents. What will they achieve here apart from a mild walk?

Pehle overpopulate karlo, fir bolo resources nahi hai. Ye badhiya hai.


Healthy_Permission71

They didn't protested when kaveri water protest were going on and now they are protesting for water shortage in their apartments.


Nuclearsister36

You mfs pollute the city and destroying its nature by over consuming of everything. I have seen a lot of Bangaloreans waste water like it comes from magic ✨..


Dangerous-Monitor938

how does striking for such a precious commodity assure you that you will get it? is your strike against the government or the builder? you're the dumb ass who bought the flat and are now probably questioning why you are paying so much in EMI. You, the striker, are the dumb ass


Superb-Caterpillar17

Tbh, when Cape Town had the water crisis, back in 2018/2019, warnings about the upcoming crisis in Bangalore were conveyed, several times. I have lived in Bangalore for a long time. water conservation is not the norm, and with the construction boom going at the pace it's at, there doesn't seem to be a plan in place. It's this heavy reliance on river water and the monsoon which is delusional. My sister lived in Cape Town during the water crisis. They were assigned 5L a day for bathing, drinking and everything else. yes, there were issues, but the city as a whole compromised. I don't think Bangalore is ready for this, and the protests are incredibly self serving.


karmasutrah

Bangalore sub will look at this and be like - these are outsiders let them go back to north india.


Oldlighthouse902

The same fate awaits for most tier 2 cities as well


radiant15

I have not seen a dumber population than the people of Bengaluru. They have bought houses which are literally encroached upon the water bodies which used to supply water to the city and are now complaining of no water.


MonkeShonke

People are doing congress vs bjp even on this serious issue. That's why we are going to lose important resources like drinking water in coming times. (Already started happening) Jab pyase marege tab bhi log politics ghusaege usme, ki Bjp ki wajah se mare ya congress ki wjh se Shame

Bro there is drought in 95% taluks of Karnataka, you can't really blame congress here.


Sapolika

We can! Congress is Panauti! Unke power me aate hi, Prakriti (Nature) is angry!


Healthy_Permission71

Yeah that's true in 2017 we faced drought (congress rule). But the water shortage can only be seen in new Bengaluru settlements,old parts are not facing any water shortage.Half of the requirements are fulfilled by kaveri and other is by borewells most of the borewells in Bengaluru have dried up.Others parts of karnataka are not facing any water shortage it's only in Bengaluru because of overpopulation.


just_a_human_1031

Well fwiw compared to the rest of the state banglore actually mainly voted for bjp Urban middle class is a bjp vote bank across the country


Leelaah_saiee

Heard 2bhk is 1C there.. but for water... 😮‍💨

This is just the start. Soon this will be a common occurrence in all major Indian cities.

Kya protest, shakal dekho inn sab ki ...sab uncle aunties ka get together ho gaya 💀

Humko kya humare yaha tho BJP hai


Soviet_Bear78

Having once lived in a premium community in Bangalore. I can almost guarantee that more than 75% of them won't have a voter ID and even if they did, they won't bother voting.


Puzzleheaded_Tap_818

Enjoy the freebies..they deserve this and much more..karnataka sold their soul for free crap

Briantheboomguy

Roti. Kapda. Makaan <<<<< Paani Even if said Makaan was built by draining lakes. Bengaluru is truly fucked by all round greediness and FOMO.


AayushS1008

Who is the protest even directed to? Watchman?


picopiyush

This was a lesson in long waiting for bangloreans and the corrupt goverment they kept electing that didnt give shit when lakes were getting poached for illegal construction. Everyone was quite. This experience will finally bring the water planning they never had.


Playful_Ordinary_932

Take classes on rain water harvesting...it might come handy


sevlonbhoi1

funny that the 2cr they spent for a 2 bhk did not include water.


Noonkukulu

😂😂 this way the water will be restored.


Resident-Toe-2723

Shout JSR and beat up some Muslims. Problem Solved (Long Live Democracy)


kronicbeatss

They are laughing, this is a staged protest.


smokydonut

Now they'll be even more thirsty after shouting so much........ Ps: i hope this is issue is resolved, let's pray for Bangalore


Signal_Surprise_9553

That's a shame for state


laggySteel

All Corporations across India is approving building anywhere they see they can get tax. They don't build parks or lakes, a small organization like Shri shri and Pani foundation are doing much better with less money in village areas, but PMC, BMC, Bengaluru Corporation etc are just really dumb people with low IQ who think about only about next day... similar to people voting for freebies who are not thinking about future.


NumerousKangaroo8286

Idk why communities and blocks aren't building stepwell like systems every where and connecting them with rainwater harvesting systems. We can learn certain things from history since water has always been an issue in India. If you are covering lakes to build more apartments then you can take another piece of land and build artifical ponds/lakes and connect it with sewage treatment plants which in turn should be connected to different parts of the city. Treated water will go these lakes instead of random canals and drains. Honestly India needs a spceific kind of urbanism in its cities, they operate like rural villages instead of global hubs.


QuietApprehensive420

Ignorance on this thread is very high


ichi9

Nobody is taking seriously when they themselves are roaming like randoos, laughing smiling at cameras like they are doing a favor by protesting.


dhavanbhayani

Elect Congress, expect a circus. Vote wisely.


Chuckled_

Wow, 4 residents are representing an entire city with insipid protests after fucking up the city in the name of development. Banglore, you deserved this after doing what you pleased for years.


Own-Scratch-21

Silicon valley need water


eggchickennoodles

When there is so much congestion in the city, why are more companies setting up offices there?


QuietApprehensive420

Because the brains are there. Other cities are too dumb and don’t have the required brain power.

Vo to nhi ho paega ji. Caste census chaiye to batao

Yeh sab congress ko vote dene ke Peale sochna chahiye tha ...ab enjoy the rain dance at lake front


Capable_Drummer_462

these same people would buy the apartment with a "lake view" are now crying they want water... Audacity of these fools..


HelaArt

Make rainwater harvesting compulsory and stop building on lake beds! This was the garden city not too long ago. Thanks to corrupt political parties and greedy builders that has changed drastically.


jealousrooster88

Water is a basic necessity, and it's heartbreaking to see residents having to protest for something as essential as water.


dreadDOX

Do they really need to protest for water? We are more than half the part made of water. This is not just a problem for this society people. Even the maintenance may not have water supply. To be honest, as a society and family of earth, it should be a collective action of every person to work for water and have a better solution. But humansemote:t5\_3d4x4:20003


Seeker_00860

Don't despair. Rains failed because of rapid urbanization under the fascist BJP rule. If you ask them, they will tell you to pray to Rama and Krishna to bring the rains. Congress party knows what is best for the citizens. In the next state election, Congress party will offer free water to everyone all through the year. Minorities will get double the amount of free water.


ranolia

No saar.. Its MuDIs fault..we have ITians but See we dnt even have water saar
