The demolitions in residential area, meanwhile, has been on since last week, though any official figure is yet to arrive
High-profile builders, developers and tech parks are among the list of alleged encroachers who closed up around 700 storm water drains in Bengaluru that led to last week's flood in parts of the city.
The list includes Wipro, Prestige, Eco Space, Bagmane Tech Park, Columbia Asia Hospital and Divyashree Villas, found NDTV, which has accessed the list of encroachments by high-profile names. It also appears that while demolitions are on in full swing for common man's properties, behemoth companies are yet to be touched.
The engineers NDTV spoke to, said on condition of anonymity that they will also not be spared. But the action is yet to begin. "We are moving one after the other. But there's a clear delay that we are seeing on ground," one of them said.
A demolition drive, though, has been carried on the premises of Nalapad Academy of International School in east Bengaluru, which belongs to a leader of the opposition Congress, which had been the biggest critic of Karnataka's BJP government over the floods. The school belongs to Congress Youth President Mohammed Nalapad.
