Amusing reaction from users
A user wrote, “This one put Antilia to shame.” Another wrote, “Forget BBMP for a minute, that match box building should’ve given nightmares to all neighbors and passersby, how even were they all silent.” One replied, “Bro it’s 8×25ft actually crazy building. Should be declared UNESCO site.” Making fun of the inaction one wrote, “Half of Bangalore they will have to demolish. Lol”
Netizens raise serious questions
Many users raised serious concern regarding the safety of citizens. One user wrote, “Hundreds of such buildings are easily visible in areas like Bellandur and Marathahalli. It remains to be seen how many will actually be demolished, or if money from the PG lobby will do the talking.”
Another user wrote, “Hope BBMP doesn’t do this for name sake. If we remember the 2022 flood situation in BLR, encroachment clearing was active for a few months. After that it was back to the original.”
