Bangalore : Infosys CEO Nandan Nilekani and Biocon chief Kiran Mazumdar Shaw live in Koramangala, but having VIP residents hasn't improved things in Bangalore's 'IT Colony'.
Infrastructure isn't happening in one of the most 'happening' places in the city. Potholed roads and parking are some of the biggest problems the residents of Koramangala complain about.
Balbir Singh and his wife Amrita have been living in Koramangala for 16 years, and like several of their neighbours are sorely disappointed with authorities and politicians.
"It makes no difference. Politicians are never interested in getting things done. All that they are interested in is their personal gain. Would they not have fixed things by now?" Balbir Singh says.
The story of Koramangala is being echoed across Bangalore.
Common man's problem
Away from Koramangala, Marthahalli is a colony of the not so privileged. Jayram, a transporter, and his six-member family have lived in Marthahalli for more than two decades.
