Tired of their appeals for basic amenities falling on deaf ears, residents of Green Villae and Junnasandra, which come under Mahadevapura Assembly constituency, took out a protest rally on Sunday.
Scores of residents, young and old, walked on slushy roads, carrying placards and raising slogans demanding better amenities.
With political support from the Aam Aadmi Party, residents alleged that authorities had turned a blind eye to the “blatant encroachment” of the rajakaluve. This, they alleged, was causing sewage and rainwater to flood many parts of Junnasandra and Green Villae Layout. “The area lacked even the basic amenities, such as street lights and underground drainage system,” they said.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
