Raps Palike, DC, seeks action taken report, joint action plan by Nov 22
THE Karnataka High Court on Wednesday pulled up the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike and the deputy commissioner for "passing the buck" and being "conveniently silent" on the directions issued by the court on removal of encroachments at Vrishabhavathi valley.
"Since the last four months, neither the BBMP nor the DC acted towards compliance with the directions. In the order dated July 29, 2024, the court issued further directions requiring the BBMP and the DC to come out with a joint plan of action to ensure the mechanism and modalities to clear the encroachments. Even that aspect was not complied with, and the office of the DC has not responded at all," said a division bench of Chief Justice N V Anjaria and Justice K V Aravind while hearing public interest petitions pertaining to rejuvenation of the Vrishabhavathi river.
