DEMAND: Residents of Swami Vivekanand Nagar on Aland Road submitting a memorandum to Commissioner S.B. Mudhol seeking basic amenities in their locality

GULBARGA: Residents of Swami Vivekanand Nagar on Aland Road on the outskirts of the city on Tuesday staged a protest demonstration in front of the administrative office of the Gulbarga City Corporation demanding basic amenities including approach road, internals roads, streetlights, storm water drains and drinking water facility in their locality.

The residents, who came in a procession to the corporation office, raised slogans against the officials of the corporation for not providing basic amenities.

Later, when Commissioner S.B. Mudhol came to receive a memorandum from the residents, they complained about the officials' uncooperative attitude and said that over the past four years, they had submitted several memorandum seeking basic amenities. However, the officials have not taken any action in this regard, they complained.

The locality with more than 400 houses does not have an approach road. The slushy roads have made life hell for them, they complained. The absence of streetlights had made the colony insecure.

The commissioner, who gave a patient hearing to the pleas of the residents, assured them that the corporation will soon take up development works in Vivekananda Nagar.
