BBMP chief commissioner directs officials of BESCOM, BWSSB and BMRCL to complete development works in time-bound manner

Gupta said that the BWSSB should submit a report to the BBMP on the completion of its work so that the municipal agency can start repairing the roads.

“If no information is provided to the Palike, then legal action will be taken against respective officers,” he said.

The chief commissioner said that the water board has to complete the drinking water supply work to each household swiftly and the BESCOM should also complete the work pertaining to the laying of 11KV underground wire. “Roads damaged due to metro construction need to be fixed immediately. Also, some localities get water-logged after receiving rains. Moreover, we have to begin asphalting work on some stretches like NICE Road to Meenakshi temple on Gottigere Road and Weavers’ Colony,” the BBMP chief commissioner told the officials.
