BANGALORE: Bruhat Bangalore Mahangara Palike (BBMP) Commissioner, Siddiah, inspected the roadwidening work being undertaken near Magadi Road. The commissioner ordered the release of `2.5 crore to the contractor to complete all pending work. He also asserted that the works should be completed at the earliest, without compromising on quality.

He also visited Harohalli Lake and inspected its surroundings. Taking a public opinion on the matter, Siddiah said that the lake should be dug up by an additional four feet as it helped the rejuvenation of ground water levels in the area. He asked for the release of `1.6 crore for this purpose.

He said work should be completed at the earliest and suggested that saplings be planted in the vacant space around the lake. "This would provide a sanctuary for the birds," Siddiah said.
