BBMP may be in legal trouble over fresh white-topping contract
The BBMP may be in legal trouble for the decision to issue fresh tenders to build 150 kilometres of concrete roads at Rs 1,450 crore.
The civic body had already issued work orders for two of the six packages for the now-shelved white-topping project. Contractors have used a strongly binding agreement allowing them to seek compensation if the municipal authority has backed out on the agreement.
The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) invited tenders for the third phase of the project estimated at Rs 1,172 crore when the first (86 km) and second (50 km) phases of the white-topping project were underway.
