To: Maverick Holdings, Nandeesh, Customer Service, Customer Service, Vaidyanath ,

and Mahesh, Legal Manager

Subject: Step out of the Ejipura PPP

Letter: Greetings,

As owners of the popular Garuda mall in Bangalore, Maverick Holdings has a

responsibility towards its customers and the citizens of Bangalore.

More than 6000 people were thrown out of their homes in EWS quarters, Ejipura,

Bangalore. They helplessly watched as bulldozers demolished their houses to

make way for a new shopping mall.

The land in question, however, was originally allotted and legally meant for building

houses for the economically weaker sections (EWS). No rehabilitation has been

done by either Maverick or the BBMP and thousands of people have been out on

the streets, braving the cold, without shelter, water or sanitation. Many of them

have lost their income as they are not able to go to work, children are not able to

go to school and seniors citizens are suffering.

The people living in Ejipura are lawful residents and the Government has issued

them biometric cards, BBMP ID cards, Voter IDs and Ration Cards. However, they

were not even consulted before a decision was made to commercially develop the

land.

I think this is unfair and this needs to stop. As owners of the popular Garuda mall

in Bangalore, Maverick Holdings has a responsibility towards its customers and the

citizens of Bangalore. We also demand that Maverick step out of this atrocious

deal and cancels the agreement to build a commercial complex on land earmarked

for EWS quarters.

I'm signing this petition on behalf of the people of EWS quarters who are being

bullied out of their rights as Indian citizens.

I am part of a whole generation who have seen the original Garuda

Mall(McGrath Road) become part of the social fabric of this city and I can

guarantee you that if you do not stop to address the concerns of the people

who have been displaced, your loyal patrons will become your greatest

dissidents overnight.

All we ask is for you to act responsibly as fellow stakeholders in this city.

This is your chance to step up. If you choose to Ignore this appeal, please

prepare for what the citizens of Bangalore will do to stand up for their people's

rights.

Sincerely,

occupation in this same location, will the BBMP dare to do it. It so shame that

the BBMP can't dare to take down / demolish just a wall structure next to

BALDWINS Boys school on HOSUR road just near to Johnson Market, a

MOSQUE's external wall, which could pave way wider, leading to towards

Brigade road from FORUM mall in Koramangala & vice versa, because of

FEAR, as they are MUSLIMS. Here its no one, as we are Tamilians, no

INTEGRITY amougst our ownselves, like the Malayalee, Kannadiga's of the

Telugu sections, which are all the disected bretherens of Tamizh; No one will

support / hear our voice, unless or otherwise, we get together to act, for the

attrocities metted towards local Tamilians population. There will be a day when

2013-03-14 Do we really need another Mall? Seriously time to think about how excessive

urban development in Bengaluru that is already a conjested city bursting out of

its seams and boundaries is alleviating problems with urban poverty! Pains me

to see that there is absolutely no concept of moral conduct and civic

responsibility with either the local / national authorities.

we tear the slums out??? I am not a supporter of the slums, I rather always

wanted them out from there ... but not this way ... never this way!!!

Mani Kalliath Bangalore, India 2013-03-14 I agree with all the underlying reasons stated in this petition. Does money

power and influence give you (owners ) of Maverick the right to disregard the

rights of the marginal and powerless families and throw them arbitrarily into the

streets (under the fig leaf cover of a judicial decision you have influenced? As

for you BBMP decision making officials, you are seen through this episode, to

be concerned only in making your personal purse fatter. You are violators of

your duty to offer good governance especially to the most vulnerable. So what

is the gain of having you and the shameless MLA occupying your seats? Get

out of your seats, or more of your actions help all of us to become clear of your

parasiticm and find ways of getting rid of you

Pradeep Misal India 2013-03-14 Well done Karthik for taking up this issue pertaining to the common man's

fundamental right to living,... "makaan" that too of 6000 persons!! Similar

cases abound in many Tier-I and Tier-II cities. I visited Ejipura in Bengaluru and

saw the plight of affected persons.I belong to the Real Estate industry and

guess that after signing the deal with BBMP, Maverick Holdings are probably in

a fix businesswise. As per Industry experts, Malls are not doing good in any of

the cities. They should cancel the deal on their own immdtly bcoz eventually,

they stand to lose everything.....Corporate image, citizen's goodwill, blessings

of the poor, all money in the Mall...Wiser counsel should prevail. I am sure

sooner or later Maverick Holdings will wake up to their Corporate Social

Responsibility. I'm sure Maverich Holdings have much better developments

elsewhere in their portfolio.

Mitesh Lad Vapi, India 2013-03-15 Indians have to realize that in a democracy voting is of prime importance. Do

not hide behind the excuse that everyone is same. A voting turnaround of 40-

50% leaves a lot of control in hands of political parities to exploit weaker

sections of society for gaining power during elections. A 80-90% turnaround

takes away this control from parties, and then they have to bend towards the

will of the people if they want to win elections. So please India come out during

the voting days, do not remain absent.

ajit matthew Bangalore, India 2013-03-15 The high social cost. People forced into crime. Higher costs since we need to

demolishing their homes is totally atrocious. And frankly another shopping mall

is the last thing bangalore needs, and when its coming at the cost of rendering

so many ppl homeless, its seriously unacceptable. I used to live in Koramangla

BBMP spending crores on unwanted projects by taking loans and pleading

BBMP/BDA properties. Why can't they build homes that may cost few crores. If

Govt can't build them, allow those families to build for themsevles. This project

glaring shows politicians-govt corruption nexus where govt land is given free.

Prashanth Puranik India 2013-03-15 Reason? Are you kidding me? Luxury goods can never be more important than

experiences such events, that there is no value of life in this country. And that

as world progresses we keep going back wards forgetting that a nation or any

place, as an entity and identity in itself, is built on trust, equality and respect to

one and all. Dignity and morality shouldn't be the price for achieving

commercial aspirations in a country.

Will you leave ur children outside without giving food and shelter.. Even they

are also human being.. Have humanity and then think of constructing malls and

making money..

Enough of MALLS in Namma BENGALURU..

Raj Mitra India 2013-04-03 I had read in the newspapers about the sudden demolition. This place was

notorious for its filth and crime, for which I think BBMP is to be blamed for not

providing clean and sanitary conditions for people to live in. While the creation

of a mall will improve the cleanliness of the neighboring area, the inhuman

demolition cannot be accepted. It should be a law that if a group of people are

being moved, then alternative living place must first be created for them. If the

Maverick group is building the mall, then maybe it should be their responsibility

to first build a living quarters for the existing people before building the mall

itself.

and stare at how people used to live there. One fine day I get out of my

compound only to see this whole area destroyed and people scattered around

the area. It was just...sad. I don't see how stopping the construction would do

any good to people whose houses were destroyed. But I do believe they should

have allotted another place for the EWS to stay before doing this.

over the land if at all they have illegally built their homes. First of all when the

people started living in those houses, I don't think they got these houses free,

where was the govt.? They should have informed or restricted the people

building their homes there or started living there that they are committing crime

by encroaching on govt land, if it was illegal. Someone made money by selling

these few square feet for houses without proper ownership papers, it is not

that the place is out of site of BBMP administration. Let the administration take

action against the real culprits first.These things happen during broad-day light

does) we the public of India(which barley opposes anything wrong) will

What is wrong with this project. Its PPP project.

Please dont get me wrong i am also signing this petition because i think our

complex.

Please note this website can and has become a tool for people to raise voices

and demand explanation form the wrong doers but when this tool falls in wrong

prospective a lot can change for the worse please dont let this happen

Gurmeet Pal India 2013-04-11 India is a socialist economy and not a capitalist economy. The Congress Party

at the Center seems to have not only lost its way but become incompetent

playing into the hands of the richy-rich just for political gains. Money is being

worshiped in holy India rather than human values. I am an ardent supporter of

Aam Aadmi Party and Anna Hazare. India is foremost for Indians. India is not

for sale. Most Indian profit making companies are being acquired by

multinationals. Luminious Power Technologies Pvt Ltd was acquired by

France's Schneider Electric in April 2011 for Rs1400 crores. Why did not

Luminous go out with a public issue to be subscribed by Indians if it needed

more capital rather than selling itself off to France's Schneider?

Constitution holds that. If government cant provide the housing, it has no right

to demolish the arrangements made by poor people. No demolish-en is justified

till the alternate house is provided to the ppl living there. A house is thousand

times more important than any mall. 'Ek umar lagg jati hai ik chotta sa ghar

The government-builder nexus is gobbling up every little inch of public space

that in fact belongs to the people. And they are doing it in the most

unscrupulous way, this being one. The government has forgotten that it's

responsibility is first to its people and their development needs not the builders

who wants to build a mall and addict people into mindless consumption.
