water (scare)city !

The last two decades,has witnessed a strange and insane behavioral pattern of people living in Bangalore and also the people who kept coming to the city.

A citizen driven body should monitor this and also all plans must be scrutinized by this committee before the sanction is given. The completion certificate must also be given by this body.A qualified architect and environmentalist must be on this committee.
