The residents of Apartment complexes across Bengaluru staged a peaceful protest in the city against the government's order making Sewer Treatment Plants mandatory with retrospective effect, without taking into consideration structural integrity and strength of the buildings. The 'Apartment Rally' was held in HSR layout, Bellandur, old airport, Madras road, Sanjay Nagar, RT Nagar, Hebbal, Malleshwaram etc. More than 150 apartment associations joined the rally. With elections fast approaching, apartment residents hope that they are able to communicate their anger and dis-contentment through the rally.
