Comprehensive UGD system sought for new layouts outside ORR

G.T. Deve Gowda writes to Urban Development Minister, saying situation is pathetic

Former Minister and MLA representing Chamundeshwari Assembly constituency in Mysuru G.T. Deve Gowda has urged Urban Development Minister B.A. Basavaraj to come up with a comprehensive Under Ground Drainage (UGD) system for the new layouts approved by Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) that had come up outside the Outer Ring Road (ORR). Mr. Gowda, who had been visiting residential localities outside the ORR in Mysuru such as Bharath Nagar and Police Layout to discuss the grievances relating to basic amenities, drew the Urban Development Minister’s attention to the pathetic condition of the UGD in the smaller layouts formed on areas that were spread across one acre, two acres or five acres. “Though these layouts had septic tanks, their capacity is limited to 100 to 200 people”, he said. In view of the limited capacity of the septic tanks set up by the developers of small layouts, the UGD water is found overflowing on the roads and drainages alongside, posing a lot of inconvenience to the general public.
