Two vacant plots in 1st and 2nd Cross of 9th Main HAL, 2nd stage are turning out to be big headaches for residents of the area, who say the land, infested with rats and mosquitoes, is being used by anti-social elements for drinking and other illegal activities as well as a garbage dump.
There are two sites which are lying vacant for the past 40 years. Plot number 421 and 395 are still owned by the original allotters, who have neither constructed any building on the sites nor bothered to maintain them properly.
Residents living nearby allege these sites are used by anti-social elements for drinking and other illegal activities as well. Mostly, these sites are being used as dumping grounds for garbage. Since the plots are open, people use them to answer nature’s call too, making these sites a public nuisance. Stink coming from the sites is unbearable.
On complaints from residents, four years ago a boundary wall was erected on one side on plot No. 421. But that did not work and people started throwing garbage packets and trees branches in the plot.
The two sites are infested with mosquitoes and rats. Last year, several dengue cases were reported from the locality. Residents fear it could be because of unhygienic conditions in the area.
