About Mahadevapura

[flexiblemap src=”http://data.opencity.in/Data/Karnataka-Assembly-Constituency-174-1.kml” width=”100%” height=”400px” ]

Mahadevapura constituency covers infrastructure-deficient, newly urbanised areas like Whitefield, Varthur and Bellandur. It also includes the infamous Mandur area, where Bengaluru’s garbage used to be dumped not long ago. The area struggles with

extreme water scarcity with almost the entire population dependent on private tanker water supply
lack of sewerage networks resulting in polluted lakes
traffic jams and high levels of pollution especially on Outer Ring Road
very little open spaces and parks for the public.
