BWSSB reluctant to change pipelines
Bangalore, Oct 5, DHNS
The recent death of a labourer at the Tagore Circle Underpass site on JC Road has dealt another blow on BBMP’s ambitious project, as BWSSB is reluctant to change the water pipelines.
People at the site said that the major problem they are now facing is the non-shifting of water pipelines due to which the work is being delayed. “Meeting the deadline would be difficult if the pipelines are not shifted,” said a worker.
The death of a labourer at the site has irked the BWSSB, which is unhappy with the shabby execution of work. It is consistently demanding for the safety of its workers.
Presently 60 per cent of the work is completed and a portion of the service road is allowed for traffic. The only hurdle on way to the completion of the project is the shifting of BWSSB pipelines. If the shifting of pipelines is completed, sources in BBMP said, it would take hardly four months to complete the work.
