Wondering who gave permission for construction of houses in these two parks, he urged the authorities to demolish the illegal houses and take measures for developing the parks.

Aradhya further said that, he has also sent a copy of the letter to Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy, Deputy Commissioner (DC) Abhiram G. Sankar, MUDA Commissioner P.S. Kantharaju, K.R. MLA S.A. Ramdas and local Corporator Sunanda Palanetra.

DC Abhiram G. Sankar reacting issue said that he had received this complaint during the phone in programme.

Admitting that there was encroachment of parks, he said that the occupants of houses in one of the parks have refused to vacate. Stating that these houses were in poor state, the DC said that he has directed the MCC Commissioner to inspect the parks.

Maintaining that the occupants cannot be evicted overnight, Sankar said action has to be taken only after a through inspection and in compliance of procedures.
