Prominent problems[change | change source]
One of the main problems in homes and workplaces in and around Yemalur Main Road include the stench which comes from Bellandur Lake. The foam is another issue which causes major grievance to the residents in the area.[13] This is accompanied with the flooding of several homes in Yemalur Village and neighbouring areas by Bellandur Lake. This often used to happen after heavy rains.[14]
Another problem that residents of Yemalur Main Road and Yemalur Village have is the road problem.[15] The narrow connecting street between Yemalur Main Road and Wind Tunnel Road is a 300 metre stretch which is terrible quality and has potholes all over it. This road is the official property of HAL Bengaluru, so the fixing of potholes is the responsibility of HAL. Due to lack of funds, this road has not been repaired.[16]
