BBMP moots action plan for 2,500 ward works
The BBMP has drawn up an action plan comprising of 2,543 works, most of which would be undertaken at the ward level.
In a praiseworthy move, Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) Chief Commissioner Tushar Girinath has made the ward-wise plans accessible to citizens by publishing the ‘Programme of Works’ (PoW) on its website. The civic body has set aside Rs 867 crore for the project this year.
The PoW is an annual grant released for each of the 243 wards for undertaking basic works such as cleaning drains, fixing streetlights, and improving footpaths and bylanes etc. In the absence of corporators this year, too, the BBMP had prepared the action plan by consulting legislators, it is learnt.
