Appoint Coordinators for Civic Works, Execute Projects Within Deadline: Experts
The New Indian Express Bengaluru
|June 20, 2025
Experts as well as the common man flayed the never-ending civic works and taking up of road-related infrastructure during monsoon by various civic agencies in Bengaluru.
D Prasad, member, Indian Road Congress, and road infrastructure expert, slammed the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (BESCOM) for causing inconvenience to the public. He said taking up digging work during rains is bad practice.
"The civic works involving road cutting will lead to soil accumulation on roads, resulting in slow traffic and, also, accidents sometimes. In some cases, dug-up areas are not sealed and this has resulted in untoward incidents. To avoid all these, a coordination committee has to be formed," he said.
