"Rs 2.7 Lakh For A 3 BHK?": Bengaluru Rent Leaves Internet Stunned
A Reddit post questioning a monthly rent of Rs 2.7 lakh for a 3BHK flat in Bengaluru's Haralur area has gone viral, reigniting the debate over the city's surging rental prices.
The now-viral post shows a screenshot of a 1,464 sq ft apartment listed for Rs 2.7 lakh per month, with a Rs 15 lakh security deposit. The user questioned the asking price, writing: "Is this really something people pay for? The flat looks at best decent-ish."
The post struck a chord with many, attracting hundreds of comments from frustrated renters and locals. While some shared similar experiences with unaffordable housing, others criticised landlords and brokers for pushing up prices in relatively average neighbourhoods.
2.7L rent for a 3bhk in Haralur?
by u/anotherimbaud in indianrealestate
Haralur, located near major tech hubs like HSR Layout and Sarjapur Road, has seen a spike in rental rates in recent years due to high demand from IT professionals. However, many social media users said the quoted rent is still excessive, even by Bengaluru standards.
A user wrote, "No one would pay this. Other flats in the same society is being offered at 50k."
Another user joked, "I think an extra zero has been added by mistake."
"It may be a mistake or fake/test listing. That's not the correct rent trend in Haralur," the third user mentioned.
"Dude. I pay 80k pm (exc. maintenance which is variable) for a fully furnished flat.. furnished to the brim.. whats this nonsense? hope its a troll post," the fourth user commented.
"Some dumb corporate slave will pay this," the fifth user wrote.

Power supply cables on Metro network stolen in Gandhinagar, second such incident in 2 weeks
According to officials of the Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (GMRC), services on the route were not affected because the Metro was not operational at the time of the theft and the issue was resolved before trains commenced at 7 am. The power cable theft, the second such incident in two weeks, took place in the early hours of Monday. Ahmedabad, Jun 3 (PTI) Unidentified persons stole power cables worth Rs 17.85 lakh from tracks between two Metro train stations near Gandhinagar city, a police official said on Tuesday. An FIR was registered with the Infocity police station of Gandhinagar on Monday after GMRC section engineer Mayur Joshi submitted a complaint about the theft of copper cables, which are laid alongside the tracks to power Metro trains. 'We have registered an FIR and started our investigation. No one has been arrested yet,' said sub-inspector of the Infocity police station, Dhaval Singh. The theft took place between Koba Circle and Juna Koba stations, which fall on Motera to Gandhinagar route, said the FIR. When a Metro train came to a sudden halt at around 3 am between these two stations, Joshi was called to the spot to look into the issue as the train was not getting electric supply. During inspection, Joshi learnt someone had stolen 700 metres of power cables worth Rs 17.85 lakh after cutting and detaching them from the brackets, it said. This was the second incident wherein power cables of the Metro network were stolen. On May 22, Metro services experienced disruption on a route in Ahmedabad city after unidentified persons stole 500 metres of power cables worth Rs 9 lakh from the tracks near Shahpur station.

Adityanath urges BJP leaders to amplify Modi govt's 11-year achievements
Themed '11 Years of Service, Good Governance and Poor Welfare ('seva, sushashan aur gareeb kalyan ke 11 varsh)', the event began with floral tributes to Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya, the UP government said in a statement. Addressing a state-level workshop organised in Lucknow on the completion of 11 years of the Modi government, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that it is the good fortune of the nation to have the impactful leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the Amrit Kaal of independence. Lucknow, Jun 3 (PTI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday urged BJP workers to take the achievements of the central government to every citizen. Urging party workers to focus on grassroots engagement, the chief minister said it is everyone's responsibility to communicate the government's 11 years of achievements at the booth level. He called for connecting all sections and organisations with the campaign and highlighting success stories of beneficiaries. Adityanath said that the 11 years of Modi government's performance form the foundation for realizing the vision of a developed India. 'Workers must play an active role in disseminating these achievements at the state, district, mandal, and Shakti Kendra levels,' he said. He encouraged workers not to limit the campaign to the party cadre, but to engage with the general public, professional groups, and direct beneficiaries. Citing recent by-elections, he said that coordinated meetings of party departments and cells had proved effective. BJP's six morchas and 22-23 cells represent every segment of society, including lawyers, doctors, teachers, students, and beneficiaries. Organising meetings with these groups and selecting speakers from among them would ensure effective outreach, he said. Highlighting the success of the Ayushman Bharat scheme, Adityanath said that where once illness became a crisis for families, today over 50 crore people in India, including 10 crore in Uttar Pradesh, are covered under the scheme. Through the Ayushman Bharat Vay Vandana Yojana, senior citizens above the age of 70 receive free health coverage of up to Rs 5 lakh, without any discrimination. Speaking on progress in healthcare, he said that prior to 2014, India had only one AIIMS. While Atal Bihari Vajpayee established six AIIMS, the Modi government has added 22 more, including two in Uttar Pradesh. The 'One District, One Medical College' vision has made institutions a reality in remote districts such as Maharajganj, Lakhimpur Kheri, and Mirzapur, providing both healthcare access and employment. He urged workers to proudly promote these achievements and counter misinformation from the opposition. He said that PM Narendra Modi is the first Prime Minister to restore Ayodhya's glory. He urged workers to actively participate in programmes like the Tiranga Yatra, Ahilyabai Holkar anniversary, and International Yoga Day. He also called on BJP workers to participate in the Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam campaign and River Rejuvenation Programme on World Environment Day (June 5). Adityanath concluded by stating that Uttar Pradesh, under the leadership of the double-engine government, is reaching new heights of development.
