29/n | @siddaramaiah @krishnabgowda @MBPatil - all of you are under the scanner! Your reputations are at stake! Will you save the forest, or will you participate in a land grab? change.org/p/save-bengalu… KIADB does not have any right to acquire forest lands. It is against the law! The KIADB is just a land-grab vulture, aiding real estate mafia. It operates unlawfully and encroaches both private and public lands violating the laws! IT IS HIGH TIME THIS ROGUE ORGANISATION - KIADB IS DISBANDED, IT HAS DONE ENOUGH DAMAGE! @eshwar_khandre please don't let the real estate vultures steal the forest lands! Please preserve them for the public! @rashtrapatibhvn @VPIndia @PMOIndia @moefcc @byadavbjp @CMofKarnataka @siddaramaiah @ClimateFrontIND @Jhatkaadotorg @NITIAayog @Greenpeace @UNEP @UNFCCC @down2earthindia @CSEINDIA @SDG2030 @UN_SDG @4Post2020BD @conserve_ind @MongabayIndia @TrustBangalore @esgindia1 @LetMeBreathe_In @NoTreesNoWater @LetIndBreathe @c40cities @GreenTweetArmy @bengalurupost1 @BengaluruAgenda @east_bengaluru @WF_Watcher @BangaloreRepair @Nammawhitefield @wfrising @civicbangalore @namma_BTM @NammaWhitefield @WFRising @CivicOp_india #GreatForestRobbery #SaveKadugodiForest #SaveBengaluru #LungSpace #LungsOfBengaluru #SCAM #DaylightRobbery #SaveForests #ClimateChange #EcoDisaster #BiodiversityMatters #ForestDestruction #EnvironmentalOutrage #SaveNature #BengaluruNews #ReclaimTheForest #GreenMahadevapura #GreenBengaluru #BreatheEasy #CitizenAction #RegreenBengaluru #BrandBengaluru #RuinedCity #Lawlessness #Corruption #UnplannedDevelopment #UrbanRuin #ShadyBusiness #LandGrab #EmbassyGroup #RealEstateMafia #Fraud #Encroachment READ MORE: change.org/p/save-bengalu…

1/n The BIGGEST FOREST SCAM in India is unfolding in the Silicon Valley - Bengaluru, right opposite ITPL, in Whitefield (where else?)… STATE MINISTERS ARE INVOLVED? Not surprising? 711 Acres Kadugodi Forest in Bengaluru - THE LARGEST URBAN FOREST SCAM? Hyderabad's Kancha Gachibowli Forest scam (400 acres) pales in comparison...? #SaveKadugodiForest @eshwar_khandre @aranya_kfd are you asleep? History: On May 29, 1896, an extent of 711 acres of land in Kadugodi that belonged to the Kingdom of Mysore, along with the boundary description was notified as government plantation, which according to the law back then was demarcated the area as state forest land. (Rule 9 of Rules 1878 for the Administration of the Forests and Wastelands in the territories of the Maharaja of Mysore). In a notification dated January 7, 1901, the area was declared as state forest under the Mysore Forests Regulations Act (1900) and was later deemed as reserved forest in 1963. THE SCAM: The #KIADB, the shady SCAM machine of the Karnataka Govt, is the usual suspect!! The Land Mafia in Karnataka, especially crooked Ministers utilise the shady bureaucrats of KIADB for their dirty schemes. This is how : * The Karnataka government’s Commerce and Industries Department acquired 305 acres and 23 guntas, "without noticing the nature of the land" in 1985 & 1987, under the provisions of the Karnataka Industrial Area Development Act to develop the Kadugodi Industrial Area! What kind of officials do not notice the nature of a forest land? Even if they are retired, they need to be brought back and prosecuted! * Another 141 acres was handed over to the Karnataka Industrial Area Development Board (KIADB) by the Mysore reserve Police in 1972. * Rumour has it that of 711 acres of Forest land, only 60 acres are left as forest. Kadugodi tree park is 22 acres and the Forest Dept opposite ITPL is some 37 acres.😢 ATTEMPTS BY FOREST DEPT TO RESTORE FOREST STIFLED: * In 2006, the joint Legislature committee set up to look into the encroachment of government land, headed by A T Ramaswamy, had surveyed this area and reported that Kadugodi Plantation Reserve Forest had been encroached upon by the Railways, KIADB, police department, animal husbandry department etc. * The original document of this property goes back to the notification of June 2, 1896 published in Mysore Gazette, described as Kadugodi Plantation in survey number 1 to the extent of 711 acres. * Digging into the old records, assistant commissioner, Bengaluru North, N Mahesh Babu, traced out the 1896 copy of the notification and put in place the layers of records, to finally prove that the land belongs to government and is a s a forest land. * Subsequently, RTC was entered into the Revenue Dept records, establishing 711 Acres as a forest land, in 2015! Subsequently, the Karnataka Forest Dept @aranya_kfd initiated process to recover the entire Forest land, however, it was blocked by vested interests.. There is a rumour that one of the affected beneficiaries of the encroachment challenged the recovery of forest land by the Forest Dept in the Supreme Court, and due to poor representation by the State Govt, the Supreme Court is supposed to have issued a stay or order against the recovery? This needs to be thoroughly investigated. How can the Govt be so careless about such an important matter? Just the way the Govt employs the most expensive lawyers to protect its derelict officials, or real estate interests, or to withhold elections to BBMP, cant it employ the best legal resources to save a forest? Bengaluru desperately needs this lung space! Whitefield in particular has become a concrete slum, with the lowest liveability parameters. If there is anything most precious to this area, it is a green lung space! THIS FOREST SHOULD BE RESTORED AND REVIVED, ALL CONCRETISATION SHOULD BE REMOVED. DEFORESTERS SHOULD BE PUNISHED! The million dollar question is... will Bengaluru come together to fight for the Kadugodi Forest as Hyderabad did to fight for Kancha Gachibowli? We have a long tradition of fighting for small causes and missing the big ones... EG: We fought for the 800 odd trees with #SteelFlyoverBeda campaign... But we sat around twiddling our thumbs when 7,500 trees were being cut for the KRDCL Surrounding Roads Project.... Right now, we are fighting to save around 400 trees next to Cantonment Railway station, but will be be mute spectators to the destruction of our largest 700 acres forest by commercial interests and an apathetic Govt? FRESH HOPE? On 15th May 2025, the Supreme Court passed a landmark order directing all States & UTs To Handover Possession Of ‘Forest Lands’ To Forest Department Does the recent judgement bode for Kadugodi Forest? Will it be recovered fully and entrusted to Forest Dept?

It is a LAND GRAB SCAM OF MASSIVE PROPORTIONS! * The second image is a screenshot from google maps showing recent deforestation next to the Good Shed Terminal. * The third image shows a post by a real estate portal involving this forest land * The fourth image shows the RTC on Revenue Dept portal that shows the 711 acres as forest land SOURCES: bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/bangalore/othe… thenewsminute.com/karnataka/name… ------------------------- @PMOIndia @byadavbjp @moefcc @NITIAayog @UNFCCC @down2earthindia @CSEINDIA @SDG2030 @UN_SDG @4Post2020BD @atree_org @conserve_ind @MongabayIndia @Indian_Rivers @indiawater @sustainBLR @TrustBangalore @esgindia1 @LetMeBreathe_In @NoTreesNoWater @LetIndBreathe @AikyamCommunity @c40cities @greentweetarmy @civicbangalore @CAFBengaluru @Namma_Bengaluru @bengalurupost1 @BengaluruAgenda @east_bengaluru @BAFBLR @WF_Watcher @BangaloreRepair @namma_BTM @NammaWhitefield @WFRising @bbmpcac @pgpreeti92 #BrandBengaluru #RuinedCity #Lawlessness #Corruption #UnplannedDevelopment #UrbanRuin #ITSlum #SiliconSewer #SaveForests #ClimateChange

@NammaWhitefield attended the PUBLIC GRIEVANCE MEETING held at @EASTCITYCORP chaired by @GBAChiefComm on Tuesday, 3rd March 2026, and submitted a petition with JUST ONE IMPORTANT ASK: "PLEASE RESTORE A 'FUNCTIONING' GOVERNMENT IN BENGALURU CITY!" It's a free for all in the city now, there is no compliance with bye-laws, rules, or zoning laws. IT IS AS IF THERE IS NO GOVT AT ALL! Violations are extreme - 100%, 200%, or more. Illegal buildings, illegal layouts, illegal commercialisation, etc., have become the norm. Violators can do anything without any fear of consequence; as a result, the city is rapidly collapsing into a "CONCRETE SLUM"! If it can't provide effective or functioning administration, if there's no enforcement or governance, why have GBA at all? Even if all the corporations are wound up, and all the officials sacked, there will be no difference on the ground. Then why employ them? Might as well save that money, and let people do whatever they please? Why have the facade of a City Corporation? Petition link: docs.google.com/document/d/1s_… A budget suggestion including ways to tackle this situation: docs.google.com/document/d/1xG… @CMofKarnataka @siddaramaiah @DKShivakumar @GBA_office @MoHUA_India @mlkhattar @BengaluruAgenda @BLRTownHall @rashtrapatibhvn @civicbangalore @CAFBengaluru @Namma_Bengaluru @bengalurupost1 @BengaluruAgenda @east_bengaluru @BAFBLR @WF_Watcher @BangaloreRepair @namma_BTM @whitefieldwards @Nammawhitefield @wfrising @NandanNilekani @PrasadBidapa @TVMohandasPai @ashwinmahesh @BelawadiBlr @nnarasimhan @BrindaAdige @HariniNagendra @SandeepAnirudha @psridharp @srikanthn1975 @RBPachhapur @Infosys_nmurthy @kris_sg

#RollBackMetroFare Bengaluru has the most expensive metro fares in the country! Namma Metro is heavily over-priced! It has reduced the metro to an elitist mode of transport! This is unacceptable. Roll Back Metro fares now! @CMofKarnataka @NITIAayog #AffordablePublicTransport

BOREWELL DRILLING ENFORCEMENT LASTS ONLY 6 HOURS!? Short-lived respite! It's been barely 6 hours since the drilling was stopped by a whole army of BWSSB staff and police - and it has already resumed. The sheer shamelessness and audacity of these illegal PG SLUM builders - They don't respect the laws, they don't respect the city, they don't respect anything. All they are interested in is making money, and they will destroy the city doing it! @CMofKarnataka look at the state of your Govt - You just cant even enforce basic laws? If you represent the people of this city, will you please ensure ZERO TOLERANCE against illegalities? The city lacks an effective enforcement mechanism against illegalities! Please set one up with urgency! The city is already destroyed, at least help rescue what's left! Pls set up a Unified Enforcement Agency for all civic laws, with powers to immediately seize equipment and arrest violators, seal premises, and prevent illegalities, rather than just chase them after they are allowed. OUR GOVT AND BUREAUCRACY HAVE FAILED SPECTACULARLY ON ENFORCING LAWS AND ACTING AGAINST VIOLATIONS! IF THIS IS SUCH A COMPLICATED SCIENCE, COULD YOU HIRE FOREIGN EXPERTS TO DO IT PLEASE? @chairmanbwssb @PrasathIas @CMofKarnataka @siddaramaiah @DrParameshwara @CGWB_CHQ @DoWRRDGR_MoJS @dcpwhitefield @CPBlr @DgpKarnataka @acpwhitefield @wfieldps @GBAChiefComm @GBA_office @EASTCITYCORP @ICCCBengaluru @rashtrapatibhvn @narendramodi @PMOIndia @moefcc @byadavbjp @HMOIndia @BlrCityPolice @mlkhattar @MoHUA_India @osd_cmkarnataka #DeathOfBengaluru #Lawlessness #Violations #Illegalities #Groundwater #WaterSecurity #IllegalBorewells #BorewellScam #WaterCrisis #WaterEmergency #Bengaluru #NammaBengaluru #BangaloreWater #BengaluruCrisis #SaveBengaluru #EnvironmentalCrime #RuleOfLaw #UrbanMisgovernance #CivicFailure #HoldAuthoritiesAccountable #SaveOurWater #WaterIsLife #ActNow #CitizensForBengaluru #PeopleBeforeProfit

BWSSB UNABLE TO STOP ILLEGAL BOREWELL DRILLING - LAWLESSNESS IS BREACHING LIMITS! Summer is approaching, and drinking water scarcity is on the radar, meanwhile these illegal builders are drilling illegal borewells to use for construction of illegal buildings. Bengaluru seems to be an ILLEGAL CAPITAL! Our politicians and bureaucrats are hopeless! Two locations in White Rose Layout, Whitefield, where illegal borewell drilling has been going on were reported to BWSSB officials as well as police by citizens. The officials and police visited the spot multiple times and instructed the contractors to stop drilling. However, after the officials leave, the drilling resumes. Location one: 2nd Main Road White Rose lyt: maps.app.goo.gl/QpvdjCk6tSRJvJ… Drilling started on 28th January 2026 - still going on. Location two: 4th Cross, White Rose Layout: maps.app.goo.gl/zMpkuY3ehjp6Xq… Drilling started on 10th Jan 2026. Was stopped by the BWSSB staff. Resumed today. @chairmanbwssb Why can't you come up a foolproof protocol to stop illegal borewell drilling? KGWA IS DEAD! It's high time, this ineffective dept called "Karnataka Groundwater Dept" was retired, and all the useless officials who man it be dismissed. They can neither frame effective rules, nor enforce any rule. What is the point in having this dept? @CMofKarnataka @CMofKarnataka @DKShivakumar @NsBoseraju Is your Govt capable of governance or not? Are you incapable of stopping this brazen lawlessness that goes in Bengaluru or have you given up? Or do you encourage it yourselves? Why are you so incapable of coming up with effective laws/rules and effective prevention/implementation? #Lawlessness #PoorGovernance #Misgovernance #Nonperformance #IllegalBorewells #WaterSecurity @GBAChiefComm @GBA_office @dcpwhitefield @CPBlr @DgpKarnataka @DrParameshwara @NammaBESCOM
