HMDA will conduct a draw of lots on Wednesday to allot plots for the displaced families that had lost their land to the construction of Outer Ring Road (ORR).
A statement from the HMDA informed that a total of 17 families will be allotted plots through a draw of lots to be held at the office of the Hyderabad Growth Corridor Limited (HGCL) at Nanakramguda.
Of the 160 affected families, 133 have already been allotted plots. Of the remaining, 17 families will be given the same on Wednesday.
Unfurling the zine handed to us at the start of the walk, we use brightly-coloured markers to draw squiggly cables across the page, starting from a sepia-toned vintage photograph of the telegraph office. Iz, who goes by the pronouns they/them, explains, “This building is still standing, though it shut down in 2013,” they say, pointing out that telegraphy, which started in Bengaluru in 1854, was an instrument of colonial power and control. “The British colonised lands via telegraph cables, something known as the All Red Line.”
The festival in Bengaluru is happening at various locations, including ATREE in Jakkur, Bangalore Creative Circus in Yeshwantpur, Courtyard Koota in Kengeri, and Medai the Stage in Koramangala. The festival will also take place in various cities across Karnataka including Tumakuru, Ramanagara, Mandya, Kolar, Chikkaballapura, Hassan, Chitradurga, Davangere, Chamarajanagar and Mysuru.
