Staff Reporter
Bangalore: Deputy Mayor N. Dayanand on Monday inspected works taken
up under 22.75 per cent scheme in Govindarajanagar Assembly
Constituency.
He first visited Arundhatinagar slum in Nagarbhavi ward where he
found that the slum lacked a proper drainage system and public toilets.
The residents complained about the severe drinking water shortage. They
also claimed that though they had been living in the slum for the past
17 years, the authorities concerned were yet to issue title deeds.
Mr. Dayanand directed officials to utilise the Rs. 470 crore funds
under the 22.75 per cent scheme. He said that funds could be utilised to
provide basic amenities in slum areas, including construction of
toilets, proving drinking water and power supply and better housing.
Later, he visited Hoysala Nagar and Nayandahalli and received
memorandums from residents with regard to issue of ration cards, title
deeds, improvement of roads and drains. He inspected the encroachments
on BBMP property and directed officials to remove them immediately.
Councillors H.S. Rajeshwari and K. Umesh Shetty, and BBMP officials were present.
