BBMP publishes road history online but won’t give key data
If the BBMP intended anything good by publishing road history on its website, the absence of information most relevant to the public seems to have defeated the purpose.
A long list of sections in the slow and cluttered website such as road inventory, trees and streetlights do not open. Multiple sources say it would not be difficult for the BBMP to post basic details of individual roadworks, contractor’s name, the amount spent on developing them and defect liability. Such details are easily available at the back end, the sources added.
Citizen groups, former corporators and political parties are wondering what is stopping the civic body from publishing the details especially since there is no elected council.
