Citizen's Response To The Ejipura Demolitions - Comments On The Change - Org Petition

To:
Maverick Holdings, Nandeesh, Customer Service, Customer Service, Vaidyanath , and Mahesh, Legal Manager Step out of the Ejipura PPP Greetings, As owners of the popular Garuda mall in Bangalore, Maverick Holdings has a responsibility towards its customers and the citizens of Bangalore. More than 6000 people were thrown out of their homes in EWS quarters, Ejipura, Bangalore. They helplessly watched as bulldozers demolished their houses to make way for a new shopping mall. The land in question, however, was originally allotted and legally meant for building houses for the economically weaker sections (EWS). No rehabilitation has been done by either Maverick or the BBMP and thousands of people have been out on the streets, braving the cold, without shelter, water or sanitation. Many of them have lost their income as they are not able to go to work, children are not able to go to school and seniors citizens are suffering. The people living in Ejipura are lawful residents and the Government has issued them biometric cards, BBMP ID cards, Voter IDs and Ration Cards. However, they were not even consulted before a decision was made to commercially develop the land. I think this is unfair and this needs to stop. As owners of the popular Garuda mall in Bangalore, Maverick Holdings has a responsibility towards its customers and the citizens of Bangalore. We also demand that Maverick step out of this atrocious deal and cancels the agreement to build a commercial complex on land earmarked for EWS quarters.

i think Bangalore have enough shopping malls to cover up the need of Bangaloreans and people coming from out side, dont play this dirty games with the sentiments of poor people just becuase they dont have big daddy connection in assembly or parliament . This shopping mall will only increase beggars sitting outside helplessly just because malls are snatching their livelihood , their home and dislodged them from what they belong to its simple cruel inhuman action of BBMP and mall owner from human personnell .

I am part of a whole generation who have seen the original Garuda Mall(McGrath Road) become part of the social fabric of this city and I can guarantee you that if you do not stop to address the concerns of the people who have been displaced, your loyal patrons will become your greatest dissidents overnight. All we ask is for you to act responsibly as fellow stakeholders in this city. This is your chance to step up. If you choose to Ignore this appeal, please prepare for what the citizens of Bangalore will do to stand up for their people's rights. Sincerely, Akshay Shankar

The homeless should have their homes back. Justice and equity It's Brutally Brutalizing the minor/ permanent sections of Bangalore, who all were located here for decades. Most of them are Tamilians, is the primary concern, and not so important citizens of this state. If its was a MUSLIMS occupation in this same location, will the BBMP dare to do it. It so shame that the BBMP can't dare to take down / demolish just a wall structure next to BALDWINS Boys school on HOSUR road just near to Johnson Market, a MOSQUE's external wall, which could pave way wider, leading to towards Brigade road from FORUM mall in Koramangala & vice versa, because of FEAR, as they are MUSLIMS. Here its no one, as we are Tamilians, no INTEGRITY amougst our ownselves, like the Malayalee, Kannadiga's of the Telugu sections, which are all the disected bretherens of Tamizh; No one will support / hear our voice, unless or otherwise, we get together to act, for the attrocities metted towards local Tamilians population. There will be a day when it will be answered. Down BBMP, we too pay tax, remember it. We don't get any free service.

After hearing her plight we all financially helped her to get some house in the nearby locality. I was not aware that the place has been given to build some mall.

Pains me to see that there is absolutely no concept of moral conduct and civic responsibility with either the local / national authorities.

I agree with all the underlying reasons stated in this petition. Does money power and influence give you (owners ) of Maverick the right to disregard the rights of the marginal and powerless families and throw them arbitrarily into the streets (under the fig leaf cover of a judicial decision you have influenced? As for you BBMP decision making officials, you are seen through this episode, to be concerned only in making your personal purse fatter. You are violators of your duty to offer good governance especially to the most vulnerable. So what is the gain of having you and the shameless MLA occupying your seats? Get out of your seats, or more of your actions help all of us to become clear of your parasiticm and find ways of getting rid of you Mani Kalliath

Sad to here about it. Hope poor people land is not grabbed illegally Well done Karthik for taking up this issue pertaining to the common man's fundamental right to living,... "makaan" that too of 6000 persons!! Similar cases abound in many Tier-I and Tier-II cities. I visited Ejipura in Bengaluru and saw the plight of affected persons.I belong to the Real Estate industry and guess that after signing the deal with BBMP, Maverick Holdings are probably in a fix businesswise. As per Industry experts, Malls are not doing good in any of the cities. They should cancel the deal on their own immdtly bcoz eventually, they stand to lose everything.....Corporate image, citizen's goodwill, blessings of the poor, all money in the Mall...Wiser counsel should prevail. I am sure sooner or later Maverick Holdings will wake up to their Corporate Social Responsibility. I'm sure Maverich Holdings have much better developments elsewhere in their portfolio.

Indians have to realize that in a democracy voting is of prime importance. Do not hide behind the excuse that everyone is same. A voting turnaround of 4050% leaves a lot of control in hands of political parities to exploit weaker sections of society for gaining power during elections. A 80-90% turnaround takes away this control from parties, and then they have to bend towards the will of the people if they want to win elections. So please India come out during the voting days, do not remain absent.

The people who were displaced from EWS Ejipura were already living in a pretty poor state, they hardly had access to basic facilities like sanitation, and clean drinking water. Instead of trying to improve their quality of life, demolishing their homes is totally atrocious. And frankly another shopping mall is the last thing bangalore needs, and when its coming at the cost of rendering so many ppl homeless, its seriously unacceptable.

In any PPP project, there should be significant public service, how building mall can be treated as public service? It is a commercial. Karnataka Govt spends & BBMP spending crores on unwanted projects by taking loans and pleading BBMP/BDA properties. Why can't they build homes that may cost few crores. If Govt can't build them, allow those families to build for themsevles. This project glaring shows politicians-govt corruption nexus where govt land is given free. CBI investigation must.

Because it represents, tragically, just what our system has led us to believe after years of governing, which seems true as our lives witnesses and experiences such events, that there is no value of life in this country. And that as world progresses we keep going back wards forgetting that a nation or any place, as an entity and identity in itself, is built on trust, equality and respect to one and all. Dignity and morality shouldn't be the price for achieving commercial aspirations in a country.

Why the Poor people are throw out cos of ur commerials.. These poor people are staying for more than 25 yrs, and you people demolished their houses and they dont even have food shelter.. Think of small children without food or etc.. Will you leave ur children outside without giving food and shelter.. Even they are also human being..

I had read in the newspapers about the sudden demolition. This place was notorious for its filth and crime, for which I think BBMP is to be blamed for not providing clean and sanitary conditions for people to live in. While the creation of a mall will improve the cleanliness of the neighboring area, the inhuman demolition cannot be accepted. It should be a law that if a group of people are being moved, then alternative living place must first be created for them. If the Maverick group is building the mall, then maybe it should be their responsibility to first build a living quarters for the existing people before building the mall itself.

I live in National Games Village, a complex right next to this area. Whenever I walked towards Ejipura, I used to always look into this place and appreciate how happy everyone living there was among themselves and wasn't bothered much about how much money they have. I used to just stand across the road and stare at how people used to live there. One fine day I get out of my compound only to see this whole area destroyed and people scattered around the area. It was just...sad. I don't see how stopping the construction would do any good to people whose houses were destroyed. But I do believe they should have allotted another place for the EWS to stay before doing this.

Anyone with a bit of decency should support this cause. This city does not have affordable housing for the poor. My heart goes out to these homeless people with children. Govt. should have made arrangements to shift these people to a safer place first and then take over the land if at all they have illegally built their homes. First of all when the people started living in those houses, I don't think they got these houses free, where was the govt.? They should have informed or restricted the people building their homes there or started living there that they are committing crime by encroaching on govt land, if it was illegal. Someone made money by selling these few square feet for houses without proper ownership papers, it is not that the place is out of site of BBMP administration. Let the administration take action against the real culprits first.These things happen during broad-day light and govt. machinery does not work.

Why people who have big money got the default right to do anything. More than 6000 people were thrown out of their homes in EWS quarters, Ejipura, Bangalore between 18th and 21st January, 2013. Many residents have been living there for more than 25 years. But in a matter of a few days, there was nothing left as their houses were forcefully demolished to make way for a public private partnership that aims at constructing a shopping mall and a housing complex.

People can do without malls, but a roof above one's head is a basic necessity. There is too much cruelty in our country towards people (and animals) who cannot fight back. These inhuman acts should stop. Our governments seem to be our worst enemies without any accountability. I cannot live with myself when I see what I am allowing to happen all around me.

India is a socialist economy and not a capitalist economy. The Congress Party at the Center seems to have not only lost its way but become incompetent playing into the hands of the richy-rich just for political gains. Money is being worshiped in holy India rather than human values. I am an ardent supporter of Aam Aadmi Party and Anna Hazare. India is foremost for Indians. India is not for sale. Most Indian profit making companies are being acquired by multinationals. Luminious Power Technologies Pvt Ltd was acquired by France's Schneider Electric in April 2011 for Rs1400 crores. Why did not Luminous go out with a public issue to be subscribed by Indians if it needed more capital rather than selling itself off to France's Schneider?

Right to shelter is fundamental right of every citizen, even Article 21 of Indian Constitution holds that. If government cant provide the housing, it has no right to demolish the arrangements made by poor people. No demolish-en is justified till the alternate house is provided to the ppl living there. A house is thousand times more important than any mall. 'Ek umar lagg jati hai ik chotta sa ghar bnane mein, inhe sharm nahi aati bastian girane mein'.

Having being a witness to such a vulgar display of arrogance by the state (Delhi demolished many of such colonies when it needed land for the commonwealth games), I know how it feels to have one's home demolished, to then collect any remaining solid piece of brick from the rubble. The government-builder nexus is gobbling up every little inch of public space that in fact belongs to the people. And they are doing it in the most unscrupulous way, this being one. The government has forgotten that it's responsibility is first to its people and their development needs not the builders who wants to build a mall and addict people into mindless consumption.

Noone other than rich landlords / builders benefit from building a mall.. only rich becomes more richer. I can see so many people living out there on the streets. They have been living in such a small huts for so many years and it all went down in hours!! We dont want another mall by throwing out 5000+ people on streets!! They are one among us ! Let them live peacefully with whatever they had !

Comment I once read- even to build a temple a school must not be closed. If its true, can we justify demolishing homes for building malls? For commercially developing a land thousands of life can't be put at stake. Therefore signing this petition is not only important but an obligation. Along with this petition their you people can start a revolution. Start a Gandhian type of movement. Boycott the mall. Fill the roadside with hoardings saying- we buy clothes from you, won't dine here, we won't watch movies here, until you get back our lives.
