- More than 6000 people were evicted from their homes in Ejipura, Bangalore to make way for a new shopping mall. - The land was originally allotted for building housing for economically weaker sections but no rehabilitation has been provided. - Thousands of people are now homeless and without shelter, water, or sanitation. Many have lost income and children cannot attend school. - The letter demands that Maverick Holdings cancel the agreement to build a commercial complex on the land earmarked for housing for the economically weaker sections.

1. To: Maverick Holdings, Nandeesh, Customer Service, Customer Service, Vaidyanath ,
and Mahesh, Legal Manager
Subject: Step out of the Ejipura PPP
Letter: Greetings,
As owners of the popular Garuda mall in Bangalore, Maverick Holdings has a
responsibility towards its customers and the citizens of Bangalore.
More than 6000 people were thrown out of their homes in EWS quarters, Ejipura,
Bangalore. They helplessly watched as bulldozers demolished their houses to
make way for a new shopping mall.
The land in question, however, was originally allotted and legally meant for building
houses for the economically weaker sections (EWS). No rehabilitation has been
done by either Maverick or the BBMP and thousands of people have been out on
the streets, braving the cold, without shelter, water or sanitation. Many of them
have lost their income as they are not able to go to work, children are not able to
go to school and seniors citizens are suffering.
The people living in Ejipura are lawful residents and the Government has issued
them biometric cards, BBMP ID cards, Voter IDs and Ration Cards. However, they
were not even consulted before a decision was made to commercially develop the
land.
I think this is unfair and this needs to stop. As owners of the popular Garuda mall
in Bangalore, Maverick Holdings has a responsibility towards its customers and the
citizens of Bangalore. We also demand that Maverick step out of this atrocious
deal and cancels the agreement to build a commercial complex on land earmarked
for EWS quarters.

Akshay Shankar India 2013-03-14 To: Maverick Holdings
I'm signing this petition on behalf of the people of EWS quarters who are being
bullied out of their rights as Indian citizens.
I am part of a whole generation who have seen the original Garuda
Mall(McGrath Road) become part of the social fabric of this city and I can
guarantee you that if you do not stop to address the concerns of the people
who have been displaced, your loyal patrons will become your greatest
dissidents overnight.
All we ask is for you to act responsibly as fellow stakeholders in this city.
This is your chance to step up. If you choose to Ignore this appeal, please
prepare for what the citizens of Bangalore will do to stand up for their people's
rights.
Sincerely,

occupation in this same location, will the BBMP dare to do it. It so shame that
the BBMP can't dare to take down / demolish just a wall structure next to
BALDWINS Boys school on HOSUR road just near to Johnson Market, a
MOSQUE's external wall, which could pave way wider, leading to towards
Brigade road from FORUM mall in Koramangala & vice versa, because of
FEAR, as they are MUSLIMS. Here its no one, as we are Tamilians, no
INTEGRITY amougst our ownselves, like the Malayalee, Kannadiga's of the
Telugu sections, which are all the disected bretherens of Tamizh; No one will
support / hear our voice, unless or otherwise, we get together to act, for the

Kala sunder India 2013-03-14 A mall next to EWS housing? How insensitive can BBMP and Maverick be?
BBMP can build decent homes for the poor if it stops swindling the taxes we
pay.
Nisha Misra Portlethen, United 2013-03-14 Do we really need another Mall? Seriously time to think about how excessive
Kingdom urban development in Bengaluru that is already a conjested city bursting out of
its seams and boundaries is alleviating problems with urban poverty! Pains me
to see that there is absolutely no concept of moral conduct and civic
responsibility with either the local / national authorities.

slums ... but never an action ... now all of a sudden a private party walks in and
we tear the slums out??? I am not a supporter of the slums, I rather always
wanted them out from there ... but not this way ... never this way!!!
Mani Kalliath Bangalore, India 2013-03-14 I agree with all the underlying reasons stated in this petition. Does money
power and influence give you (owners ) of Maverick the right to disregard the
rights of the marginal and powerless families and throw them arbitrarily into the
streets (under the fig leaf cover of a judicial decision you have influenced? As
for you BBMP decision making officials, you are seen through this episode, to
be concerned only in making your personal purse fatter. You are violators of
your duty to offer good governance especially to the most vulnerable. So what
is the gain of having you and the shameless MLA occupying your seats? Get
out of your seats, or more of your actions help all of us to become clear of your
parasiticm and find ways of getting rid of you

Pradeep Misal India 2013-03-14 Well done Karthik for taking up this issue pertaining to the common man's
fundamental right to living,... "makaan" that too of 6000 persons!! Similar
cases abound in many Tier-I and Tier-II cities. I visited Ejipura in Bengaluru and
saw the plight of affected persons.I belong to the Real Estate industry and
guess that after signing the deal with BBMP, Maverick Holdings are probably in
a fix businesswise. As per Industry experts, Malls are not doing good in any of
the cities. They should cancel the deal on their own immdtly bcoz eventually,
they stand to lose everything.....Corporate image, citizen's goodwill, blessings
of the poor, all money in the Mall...Wiser counsel should prevail. I am sure
sooner or later Maverick Holdings will wake up to their Corporate Social
Responsibility. I'm sure Maverich Holdings have much better developments
elsewhere in their portfolio.

Mitesh Lad Vapi, India 2013-03-15 Indians have to realize that in a democracy voting is of prime importance. Do
not hide behind the excuse that everyone is same. A voting turnaround of 40-
50% leaves a lot of control in hands of political parities to exploit weaker
sections of society for gaining power during elections. A 80-90% turnaround
takes away this control from parties, and then they have to bend towards the
will of the people if they want to win elections. So please India come out during
the voting days, do not remain absent.
ajit matthew Bangalore, India 2013-03-15 The high social cost. People forced into crime. Higher costs since we need to

Karthik Vijayakumar Bangalore, India 2013-03-15 The people who were displaced from EWS Ejipura were already living in a
pretty poor state, they hardly had access to basic facilities like sanitation, and
clean drinking water. Instead of trying to improve their quality of life,
demolishing their homes is totally atrocious. And frankly another shopping mall
is the last thing bangalore needs, and when its coming at the cost of rendering
so many ppl homeless, its seriously unacceptable. I used to live in Koramangla
near the EWS quarters, though I have never seen the place until the news
broke out, I feel pretty strongly for them.

Subodh Konhor India 2013-03-15 We already have so many shopping malls and multiplexes. Business houses
are ruthless but BBMP should work in peoples interest. A roof for a poor is
more IMPORTANT than a Shopping Mall

but Bangalore's poor cannot do without housing and basic amenities.

Anantha Rao India 2013-03-15 In any PPP project, there should be significant public service, how building mall
can be treated as public service? It is a commercial. Karnataka Govt spends &
BBMP spending crores on unwanted projects by taking loans and pleading
BBMP/BDA properties. Why can't they build homes that may cost few crores. If
Govt can't build them, allow those families to build for themsevles. This project
glaring shows politicians-govt corruption nexus where govt land is given free.
CBI investigation must.
