Following media reports on violation of environment laws, the Lake Development Authority inspected Bengaluru’s controversial SEZ project off Bellandur Lake and asked KIADB to stop the construction.

The petition by citizens’ groups in North Bangalore and Namma Bengaluru Foundation questions the process through which the state government gave approval to a SEZ project on a wetland.

The Manipal ETA Infotech project has got the approval from the authorities, even though the assessments highlight the poor traffic plan. Traffic police say they don’t have any say in this.

A 2300-crore real estate project in south Bangalore has encroached 2.6 acres of Rajakaluve, risking flooding, says an IISc report. The promoter, Manipal ETA Infotech Pvt Ltd, doesn’t even exist in the list of registered companies in India.

The central Environmental Ministry watchdog office in Bengaluru is so understaffed that they are signing off compliance reports without even inspecting sites. This is one of many reasons this 72-acre realty project is proceeding despite major violations.

At the edge of Koramangala, a massive 72-acre real estate project is on. It includes apartments, an SEZ, office space, hotels and more, all needing 4.5 million litres of water a day. A Citizen Matters investigation, released with Suvarna News, has exposed how the project got environmental clearance.
