According to data submitted by the city’s civic body to the High Court of Karnataka on Thursday, Mahadevapura zone, one of the most densely developed areas over the last two decades and the worst hit by floods earlier this month, had 1,689 encroachments of storm-water drains in 2016-17, the highest for any zone by a large margin that day, when the clearance drive began.
But today, it has only 133 encroachments left, the rest have been cleared over the years, the civic body told the High Court.
