Ensure 'pothole-free Bengaluru' before Saturday: Dr. G. Parameshwar
Bengaluru: The BBMP authorities have been instructed to declare Bengaluru free from potholes before Saturday, informed Deputy Chief Minister Dr. G. Parameshwar.
Speaking to reporters after a meeting with BBMP officials on Thursday, the DCM said that the High Court judge has lambasted the BBMP over its poor administration.
"As per the deadline was given to BBMP, there would be an inquiry regarding this on Saturday. Instructions have been passed to joint commissioners of eight zones of the city to fill all the potholes in the state capital. Also, to update details regarding potholes filling activity on the BBMP website. The same data will be presented to the high court," he said.
Whitetopping: Tender Sure and Whitetopping project has been in progress for two years. I have instructed the authorities to complete these projects before summer.
This project of 100 km at the cost of Rs 945 crore is in progress. Some roads have not been able to complete work in the backdrop of traffic congestion. Despite the 11-month time, this work could not be completed. Soon, a meeting will be held with the police to allow the Whittopping project.
Senior officials, including BBMP Mayor Gangambike, Commissioner Manjunath Prasad and eight BBMP joint commissioners were present.

TCS orders probe, engages external experts in Nashik Case
Mumbai: Tata Consultancy Services on Friday said it has initiated a formal internal investigation into allegations linked to its Nashik unit and engaged independent external experts to ensure transparency in the process.
Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director K Krithivasan was quoted by The Observer Post as saying that the company has appointed Deloitte and Trilegal as independent counsel to support the probe. The internal investigation is being led by Aarthi Subramanian.
The company has constituted a supervisory committee chaired by independent director Keki Mistry, which will oversee the process. The committee will also review findings and monitor the implementation of recommendations.
Krithivasan said a preliminary review of the company’s internal systems and records had not revealed any complaints of the nature being alleged through its ethics or POSH channels.
He also clarified that an employee named in media reports, Nida Khan, was not part of the human resources function and did not hold any leadership role. He informed that she worked as a process associate.
The company has also rejected reports suggesting that operations at the Nashik facility had been suspended. It asserted that the unit continues to function without disruption with a zero-tolerance policy towards misconduct.
