Continuing his interaction with people and officials, Jayananagar MLA, BN Vijayakumr  announced that the JCCA open auditorium in 4th Block, Jayanagar would be upgraded, at a meeting held earlier this week.

Grievances expressed at the meeting:
Bhaskar Murthy, President of Federation of Residents Association: Mr. Praveen Sood, Joint Commissioner, Traffic Police is wrong in saying the footpath problem is a social menace and not just a Departmental problem. The problem is very much that of the Department. Also, the department should involve the Residents Welfare Associations in issues of tarring the roads. The authorities should also look into leakage of property tax by some residents. In some houses, there are six families staying together and have 6 Bescom meters. How was the permission given for so many meters?
Kesha Kumar, Secretary, Federation of Residents Welfare Assn: Upgrade the existing JCCA Open Auditorium into a covered auditorium and permit meetings of residents associations, cultural bodies, public functions to be held  there either free of cost or at a nominal charge.
Allow one side parking near the Maiya Hotel near 4th Block police station.
Commended the traffic police for clearing old vehicles parked on 10th Main which was obstructing traffic.
Telephone numbers and names of all the concerned government officials should be placed in all the important places.
The 7th Main park to be maintained properly.
Drainage maintenance is very poor near National College, leakage of drainage on 9th Main adjacent to JCCA.
Footpath encroachment and traffic problems near 12th Main, 23rd Cross, 4th 'T' Block near Tejeswini School.

Bus shelter for 12th Main, 'T' Block long pending grievance since 7 years
Flooding of rainwater in the house located near 21st 'B' Cross, 6th Block whenever it rains - for the past eight years. Officials have given compensation, but we want a solution, not compensation.
Restrict vehicles entering 11th Main, Adiga's junction towards 12th Main to avoid heavy traffic flow and make them enter from the Cool Joint via Sub-Registrar office if at all they want to enter 12th Main.
