Horamavu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Horamavu is an area in Bangalore in Indian state of Karnataka. It is a rapidly growing suburb, which is adjacent to other areas such as Banaswadi, Kalkere and Ramamurthy nagar in North Bangalore. The Krishnarajapuram railway station, an important railway junction in Bangalore, is just 3 km away.

Horamavu today is very strategically placed off the ring road and close to three important stations, K.R Puram, Banaswadi and Bangalore East. Horamavu has a good number of planned layouts like P&T Layout, Nandanam Colony, Ashirwad Colony, Bank Avenue Colony, Papaiya Layout, Coconut Grove Layout, etc.

Large scale real estate development in Horamavu is also causing a lot of damage. The Raja Kaluves and lakes are being enroached destroying an area which was once rich in flora and fauna. Like the newly developing areas, there are no areas identified for gardens and parks Bangalore is famous for.

Water is also a serious issue. Borewells today have to be dug below 1000 ft to get water. There is no sewage and water supply facilities in the entire Horamavu.

Snakes have been a cause of constant trouble for people living in this area as it is still developing and several sites are left uninhabited.[1]
