The Gangadhar Kere (Kaudenahalli Lake) is being encroached, destroying an area formerly rich in flora and fauna. Most of the borewells which were drilled in the earlier days have dried up. Like the newly developing areas, there are no areas for gardens and parks.HistoryDuring the mid-1980s, The Bangalore Development Authority or BDA had developed some of the areas in North-East Bengaluru like OMBR Layout, HRBR Layout, Kasturi Nagar and East of NGEF Layout. The Region Beyond that was Ramamurthy Nagar which was mainly a farmland. In the mid and late 90s the IT boom paved the way for the growth of Bengaluru and this also influenced the growth of East Bengaluru. In the vicinity of these well planned BDA layouts, Ramamurthy Nagar became a desirable place to live. This area is not developed by the BDA. The farmers converted their farms into layouts and sold the sites to interested buyers which soon became home for the Bank employees, ITI staff employees & later to Software professionals by mid-2000. The BDA developed layouts had all civic amenities; and the growth of these layouts influenced the growth of Ramamurthy Nagar to the great extent, both residential wise and commercially.
