Names will be published in papers if tax not paid: Dr. G. Parameshwar
Bengaluru: Deputy Chief Minister and Bengaluru Developement Minister Dr. G. Parameshwar said that already he has instructed the officials concerned to prepare a roadmap for the development of Bengaluru for the next five years. "We will be spending Rs. 50 thousand crore for this project," he said.
He was speaking after inaugurating various development works, including Badminton Court, Tennis Roof, BBMP Office; at Shankar Mutt ward.
"As the City is growing in a tremendous way, we have dedicated Rs. 50,000 crore for its development in the next five years. I have already instructed the officials to prepare a roadmap," he said.
"Tax collection is very important for Bengaluru's development. Rs. 2500 crore tax is pending. Names will be published in papers if tax is not paid. How can the BBMP run if people do not pay tax? Therefore we have decided to go tough against the tax defaulters," the DCM warned.
Speaking about the Steel Flyover project, he said “We have undertaken two elevated corridor projects at the cost of Rs 25,000 for the development of Bengaluru. Only a few are opposing this Steel flyover project, but this is also an elevated road. But it is called as Steel Bridge as we use a certain amount of steel in the construction. We will not let go of this project just because some people are opposing it. We will be transparent during the process. If anyone comes in the way, we might resort to legal action," he warned.
He further said that the state cabinet has approved replacing the existing sodium vapour lamps to LED lights project and this would help BBMP save Rs 18 crore per month.

Indian Defence forces committed to adapting to changing environment: CDS General Chauhan
Hyderabad (PTI): Asserting that war and warfare is at the cusp of a major revolution, Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan on Saturday said the Indian Defence forces are committed to adapting to changing environment and imbibing reforms to remain ready and relevant.
Addressing the Combined Graduation Parade (CGP) of 216 Course held at the Air Force Academy at Dundigal near here, General Chauhan said India's strength rests on robust institutions, democratic stability, and unwavering professionalism of our Armed Forces.
He said the intensity of operations may have ebbed, but Operation Sindoor continues.
"You (new officers) also join the Air Force at a moment when a new normal has firmly taken shape. An era defined by a high degree of operational preparedness, 24-7, 365 days. The intensity of operations may have ebbed, but Operation Sindhur continues," he said.
He further said the newly trained officers are entering the Indian Air Force during a phase of deep transformation of the Indian Armed Forces.
Integrated structures, joint operations, and national pursuit of Atmanirbhar Bharat in defence are shaping the future of India's military strength, he said.
"Your journey ahead will be accordingly guided by Jai, the first word of Jai Hind, that's victory. 'J' stands for jointness, fighting as one nation, one force. 'A' stands for Atmanirbhar Bharat, trusted platforms and systems made not just for India but for the world. And finally, 'I' for innovation, daring to think ahead and to be ahead of the curve," he explained.
General Chauhan further said battles in the older domains will always remain contested, often brutal. But in the new domains, they will be smart, swift, and shaped by intellect, innovation, and initiative. The force that masters new frontiers is more likely to prevail in future conflicts.
