Bangalore Bangalore BBMP BWSSB Complaint Sanjaynagar Others Everything else

 Residents put to difficulty again

 For, the portion of the dug up road, where the pipeline has been laid, is yet to be filled up. “Can’t they asphalt the portion of the road where BWSSB’s work has been completed? We fear that they will leave it unattended,” he said. However, BBMP officials promised to begin asphalting the road soon after the pipes are laid by end of the November. But, BWSSB officials said the work on laying the pipelines is expected to continue till January 2010.

So the debris and the mud is going to lie around for 3 months? Why cant they cart the debris away barricade the dugout and carry out their work? Remember this is a 2 lane road with bus traffic. The practices followed resemble those in sub saharan africa.

Cleanliness & inconviniences

 I wonder where all the debris from this digging went? I would have thought it would be piled up next to the ditch and sprawling all over the roadside. A smiling worker and smiling public is not something our administrators want to see. They would rather we wallow in mud and slush.

They wash the place clean after they are done... hmm must be imbeciles in this country whichever it is. How can they do such a neat job?

Will this garuntee best practices?

WIll this mean debris will be carted away? Will this mean they will leave the road the way they found it, or better?

Civic agencies to coordinate on city projects

From now on, no public work can commence without all agencies involved signing on a ‘public works coordination agreement’. The traffic police will sign it last in case of BBMP work and BBMP will sign it last in all other cases.

 

Some start

BBMP entrusts repair works to zonal contractors

Would they have a clause which says, you have to cart the debris away as it is dug out. Dumping outside dumpsters should attract penalty and all dugouts will be barricaded.

IDS, Sorry to ask a direct question - are you willing to work in BWSSP/BBMP today ? We are unwilling to accept that competence and professionalism come at a price. Govt and people at large have come to accept that govt. is an employment agency - everybody(specially the poor) will be much better off, having few well paid competent professionals in a govt. organisation rather than a bulk of people recruited for reasons other than competence. Until we accept that all are not equal, and some can execute a job better than others, and have to be paid and treated accordingly, its hard to get allround change.
