Construction firm gets BBMP notice
Ravindra and Deputy Mayor Dayanand went for an inspection on Mysore Road on Monday, only to find that the undertaken works were of substandard quality. So to ensure that the same does not happen again, Ravindra decided to serve notices to Civil Aid Technoclinic Private Limited and STUP. He justified his action and said there was delay in the construction of the flyover between Gali Anjaneya Temple and Vijayanagar.
Also, it was noted that no officials were inspecting the spot for regular checks on the project. It was said that the contractors had used humanpowered tools to break the concrete instead of using concrete cutters. Ravindra also directed that the flyover should be completed within the next four months or the contractors would be blacklisted.
The `20.83crore project is being undertaken under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) scheme. The same was undertaken due to the constant flooding of the area due to the overflowing of sewage water during downpours. Later, the convoy checked the roads and added that due to the heavy density of traffic in the area, roads had to be widened. The standing committee chief said they would discuss the same with locals as they had some issues.
