A sudden list of problems for apartments in JP Nagar

Apartments in JP Nagar are comparatively older to the ones in some of the upcoming areas. Today the price per square feet of an apartment in JP Nagar averages at INR 5,500. The upper limit has been placed at INR 7000. There was a time about five to six years back when the price per square feet averaged at peak rates of INR 10, 500. Ever since that the area's price appreciation has been flat. It's an indication of the area's real estate activity also. But the area has immense potential left in it. There are quite a lot of apartments which were just recently completed in JP Nagar. There are also a few upcoming projects. Unlike some of the upcoming areas such as Whitefield, Hebbal or Thanisandra, JP Nagar is predominantly a residential community. It has long been preferred for its peaceful and calm nature. Lately, apartments in JP Nagar have been witnessing certain issues all at the same time. Here's an article on the issue being faced by apartments in JP Nagar that interested buyers should be aware of. Garbage Disposal Sadly, poor garbage disposal continues to be a menace in JP Nagar. There have been multiple accounts where citizens of the area have notified officials of irresponsible waste disposal. Recently residents of an apartment in JP Nagar have brought to light the fact that a popular convention center has been burning their garbage every day in the morning causing discomfort to the apartments nearby. In many parts of JP Nagar, there are open sewage lines which are clogged with garbage and waste being irresponsibly dumped. The case of the independent STPs Like in many other regions of Bengaluru, apartments in JP Nagar are also battling the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB)'s rule according to which apartment complexes are to have independent sewage treatment plants. According to residents, it is a cumbersome process to set up STPs in apartments that are completed. JP Nagar is one such area in Bengaluru where there is a majority of apartments that have been completed and fully occupied. According to flat owners associations, even after taking the trouble and setting up an STP, it may still not work properly. Residents have been rallying various forms of campaigns with the court against this rule. The possible introduction of the Common Zoning Regulations In short, the CZR is a draft consisting of regulations that propose to commercial use of land along roads in a residential area that are at least 9 meters (29.5 ft) wide. This has been a disaster for many of the residents of apartments in JP Nagar . According to them, the CZR will lead to commercialization of areas which are meant for residential purposes. Last month residents from various apartments in the area sent postcards addressed to Chief Minister registering their opposition to the rule. Tax for lake view A proposal by the Karnataka Lake Conservation and Development Authority (KLCDA) suggests that apartments surrounding lakes in regions such as those near the Puttenahalli lake in JP Nagar should be taxed. According to G Vidyasagar, KLCDA chief executive officer the KLDCA is planning to make people pay either by way of money or become registered lake wardens or adopt a portion of the lake to protect and maintain it. This needs to be done as unless people take responsibility, the lakes will not be protected. While the tax may or may not be a problem for JP Nagar residents, maintenance of the nearby lake sure is.
