BENGALURU:
Chairing a review meeting on Tuesday of various works in the Bengaluru South assembly constituency, BBMP Chief Commissioner Gaurav Gupta asked officials of Bescom, BWSSB and BMRCL to speed up work on road repairs and potholes filling.
BWSSB officials were instructed to submit a report on completed ward-level work to the Palike, following which BBMP would repair the roads. Gupta asked BWSSB to complete work on drinking water supply to every house, Bescom to complete the laying of underground cables, and BMRCL to repair roads damaged during Metro construction.
In areas where roads are damaged, officials should check the DLP (defects liability period) status before the repair work is entrusted to the contractors concerned or to the Palike. he said.
On the issue of domestic sewage entering storm water drains, the civic chief suggested that BBMP and the water board could join hands to create public awareness on the issue.
