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.
