This may not be too appetising. Just ajacent to an eatery run by a leading food multinational, filthy water gushes out of a pipe at least once in every five days making this shopaholics' paradise a huge mess. If you are a regula visitor to Commercial Street, you may have seen when you walked itno Kentucky Fried Chicken's outlet there. The drain which takes water away from the oulet has been identified as the "culprit" and repeated complaints by other shop owners and even shoppers to the management has made no difference.
While through the day, a narrow stream of water comes out from the drainage pipe of KFC, in the evening the problem gets worse, said Oncologist Dr N Ramamurthy Reddy, partner of a store on Commercial Street and president of Karnataka Rajyotsava Celebrations Committee (Commercial Street). "We are facing this problem since the past nine months. Though time and again we have complained to the KFC authorities about this health hazard, that too right next to an eatery, they have never taken us seriously," he added. Thus the problem continues for months. say that it's not that KFC is totally ignoring the problem. "THE KFC people organise a shoddy repair work whenever the problem reaches its peak. While this gives a relief to the passers-by and the shopkeepers for a couple of days, within a week's time, the problem gets back to its form," said Raju Mansukhani, a shop owner from a shop that is very close to the outlet.
BBMP shoppers will now approach the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) Commissioner as the last resort for a solution to their problem. "The area concerned comes under east zone of BBMP. As soon as the shopkeepers lodge a complaint with us, we'll take suitable action. However, we have to first check the condition of the place before deciding on any action. The concerned health officer and health inspector will work together for this," said the Chief Health Officer of BBMP, L T Gayathri.
