Residents against commercialization of Malleswaram
The huge apartment complexes, large malls, restaurants at every corner of the road and people visiting the malls parking their vehicles on the sides of the roads add traffic and other civic problems. The residents are forced to park their vehicles at Sheshadripuram as people visiting the malls park their vehicles on both the sides of the roads.
Malleswaram is one of the oldest residential localities in the city and It was considered safe for senior citizens. But with huge apartment complexes, large malls and restaurants at every corner of the road, the place has become chaotic. The situation is worse during weekends as large number of people from all parts of the city come to these malls.
The residents blame the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) for the chaos prevailing in Malleswaram. According to them, the Palike has sanctioned multi-storeyed buildings without any check. The residents along with Jagrutha Nagarikara Sanghatane, have taken up the initiative to stop the authorities from permitting shopping malls and apartments which is causing traffic and other civic problems.
