Incompetence of BBMP

Bangalore governance BBMP urban development Media Reports
Telling report here on how our city is being monitored, checked & governed.
Most committee members went along, like it was a picnic. They were happy to be photographed and make hackneyed comments into TV cameras. “We will take action immediately. We will have a meeting with the mayor.” Asked about previous visits, the chairman responded, “We are yet to start work. We are yet to meet the mayor for that.”
The inspections end with a lavish lunch at a restaurant. Who foots the bill? Who pays for the trip?
Bottomline, regardless of how much we agree to pay for coffee tea & lunch we dont have outcomes. Shines a light on the work ethics & the outcomes they focus on in their job.
After reading the above you read the kind of comments being made here.
BBMP special commissioner K R Niranjan said on Friday: "The city corporation has 111 hospitals, 1,140 parks, 136 schools, 154 playgrounds and 10,121km roads and 569 slums, both notified and non-notified slums. But there are only 13,000 people to manage this."
One can only pity the productivity of this orgnization. On one end we have the pourakarmikas who dont have the right kind of people leading them and hence rendering their services & the entire organization disfunctional.
We the citizens tolerate this orgnaization, wonder why?

Final-f***ing-ly we get to the point
Fed up with the crumbling infrastructure in the city, industry leaders will urge Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar to dissolve the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP)

It may be recalled here that the Belgaum City Corporation (BCC) had bagged the Green Leaf Award 2011 in the category of ‘Best Garbage Disposal’. The BCC was also the first in the state to launch a bio-medical waste management project in Khasbag. - - - Ramky Enviro Engineers Limited has been handed the contract for processing organic waste into organic manure. Now, the BC is all set to implement waste to energy technology including bio-methanisation plants.

Well, a little sister city in our own state is a "Green Leaf" award winner, even as the giant sister has earned world-wide notoriety as the garbage city. Also, while our politicos try to palm off the blame on Ramky, the very same Ramky has helped bag the award for the little sister.
Perhaps time for the citizens too to join in the call, first by the Chief Justice, and now the industry leaders, for the dissolution of the BBMP council.

Really, what a pitiful statement, only 13000 people. Overstaffed and undermanaged are two words that come to mind.
And the local elections have only added 100 more people to the mix, with little tangible improvements in the service levels.

I am trying to be positive, there is no way you can reform this organization. Collapse all utilities into a single entity reporting to a directly elected mayor.
