Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) to assess the spillover works of
previous years, has recommended to drop at least 448 works worth Rs 109
crore, while it has endorsed technical audit of 2,910 works worth Rs 575
crore.
BBMP Commissioner Siddaiah had constituted eight
teams headed by senior officers to review the status of spillover and
ongoing works in all eight zones of the Palike. So far only four teams
have submitted their reports pertaining to Dasarahalli,
Yelahanka,Bommanahalli and Rajarajeshwarinagar zones.
The reason
for dropping the works and endorsing technical audit is said to be that
even three-year-old spillover works have started only on paper, while
those works which are in progress are of inferior quality. The team
auditing the works in Dasarahalli zone found that 87 works for 2010-11
and 2011-12 have not yet begun, while files pertaining to 210 works are
yet to get approvals.
