Respected Sir/Madam,

I am a resident of 6th Main Road, Hoysala Nagar TC Palya Main Road Bangalore 560016,  Bengaluru, and I wish to bring to your attention an ongoing public nuisance issue affecting local residents and pedestrians.

The pavement constructed outside the petrol pump premises located at Hoysala Nagar, 6th Main Road, TC Palya Main Road has been built at an unusually comfortable height and design, which has resulted in people frequently sitting there for long durations. As a consequence, many individuals gather throughout the day and smoke openly on the pavement & road.

This situation has caused several problems for the neighbourhood, including:

• Smoking in a public place, causing health discomfort to pedestrians, nearby residents.

• Littering of cigarette waste and general unhygienic conditions

• Obstruction and inconvenience to pedestrians, including senior citizens, women, and children

• Regular loitering, which creates a sense of insecurity in the area

Pavements are meant strictly for pedestrian movement, and the current design appears to be non-standard and prone to misuse. I kindly request BBMP to conduct a site inspection and take necessary corrective measures by modifying the pavement height or design (such as sloping or removal of the sitting ledge) to prevent such misuse and restore normal pedestrian use.

I request your early intervention in the interest of public health, safety, and civic order.

Thanking you.
