Dear Madam / Sir ,

Subject : Infosys  SAVE   Hebbal  Lake  in  Mysuru  from Land Mafia

    As part of  it’s  CSR  initiative,   Infosys  the software giant has recently  agreed to fund the  beautification , preservation of  Hebbal  Lake in  Mysuru city of Karnataka state , India. We welcome the good move by  Infosys.

   However  various lakes  including  Hebbal  lake  in mysuru city built by erstwhile  rulers  are encroached by land mafia. The good brand name  of  Infosys  should not be   misused by  authorities  or powers that be  to cover up the crimes of  Hebbal  lake encroachments.

  Till date  “Raja Kaluve” encroachments , encroachments of Hebbal lake , hootagalli lake , hinkal lake , BEML Quarters lake Ningaiah lake , etc  are not cleared.  Public Interest Litigation (PIL)  in this matter  is pending before the  Honourable Supreme Court of India for admission.  Hard earned Infosys share holders money should not be wasted on  disputed location.

    Even after years ,  MCC , MUDA , BDA & KIADB  are not giving  full information / answers to our following RTI  questions regarding  Land crimes. To begin with let MCC , MUDA , KIADB  answer  following  three questions :

1.     Where  are the encroachments of  various lakes , Raja Kaluve in mysuru  city  has taken place ? who are  the encroachers ? what action taken by authorities ?

2.     How much land belonging  to Sri Laxmikantaswamy Temple , Hebbal , Mysuru  has been encroached ? who are the encroachers ? what action by authorities ?

3.     How many commercial complexes , big residential apartments  in Mysuru city are built  without provision for fire exit , parking lot ? what action by authorities ?

 

   To preserve lakes Government of Karnataka must  :

1.     First conduct survey of sites / lakes  , clearly marking the encroachments.

2.     Make the name of encroachers public. Name them & Shame them.

3.     Evict the encroachers & initiate legal prosecution against them.

4.     Finally invest public funds or corporate funds  for preservation  &  beautification of lakes.

      Till such time we urge  the  Infosys  management  to with hold  CSR funding of  MCC  or MUDA  or  KIADB   for the purpose of Hebbal Lake  preservation.  Jai Hind. Vande Mataram.
