Bangalore Complaint Others Everything else
or 'Yaara Appana hesaralli Saala?'
The above line depicts it better 'Whose loan is it anyways'..we all know BBMP/Govt coffers are empty and they are living on loans..but what are they doing about it? Nothing..all they are doing is :
- Promoting an Akrama called 'Sakrama'
- Announcing lavish plans to Blr
- Re-modelling Blr
If you guys have observed, all the bus stops are being uprooted since the last week..perfectly functional bus stops complete with steel furniture has been diamatled. And the plan is to replace them.
WHy..WHy..why?
There is another instance of an over zealous authorities who are remodelling some park..one of them in question is the BDA park in Avalahalli. This one as depicated below had good functional fence in steel..now everything has been uprooted and they are redoing it!
Why Why Why??
Why arent we taking on more important projects and spending money in the right way?
Why everything is always election oriented?

BBMP inaugurates project without a plan
The Mayor inaugurated renovation work on Sirsi Circle flyover (better known as the Mysore Road flyover)in August; but two months later, the verification process of the renovation plan submitted by an agency is still on.

I agree with Srinidhi. I jst noted few weeks back Koramangala Canara Bank busstop suddenly lost its waiting benches which were really good (granite ones). I dont think public were never informed the intention/schedules/goal of such removal. To date, I dont see any progress. So common man is suffering (as usual).
In general, the BBMP(any normal govt. organization) never notifies public any of such work , specifically which causes inconvience to public. I checked their website as well, but in vain.

Just so you know BBMP has transferred bus stops to BMTC. This is all BMTC budget now and they probably want to put it where they want it. Of course I dont know if this means they have to destroy everything. And more importantly if the buses still wont stop in the bus stand it will be time to bring down the house.

Excerpts from "Moneylife", Mumbai (for the full report, click here):
Nitin Desai said, "The Bombay Municipal Corporation (BMC) wants to similarly renovate other popular gardens across the city through this one single contractor. If this is so, one can only imagine the wasteful expenditure they will incur."
Work orders for renovation in gardens 'A' and 'B' describe the replacement of old lampposts at a cost of Rs50,000, inclusive of fittings and wiring. In garden 'A' 31 new lampposts, which the BMC says are 'antiques'. In Garden 'B', where there were originally just four lampposts in the centre, 33 new lampposts have been installed on the sidewalks.
The total cost is said to be Rs7.4 lakh. The wiring costs totals Rs7.67 lakh. The activists said that when they inquired at some shops about similar wrought-iron lampposts models they were given an estimate of about Rs2,000 each.
The old concrete benches that were donated by Ghanshyam Saraf Trust were perfectly functional, and still pulled out and replaced with new benches that cost Rs 30,000 each. Twenty-nine benches have been placed in garden 'A' at a cost of about Rs9 lakh.
And, in Namma Bengaluru, we have elected a whole lot of contractors as our representatives. Their prime objective of course is to generate work, bag contracts, and milk the tax payer. Once again points to the immediate election reforms so that we get the right kind of people to represent us.
