BBMP pulls up Smart City for shoddy roadworks in CBD

The BBMP has pulled up the Bengaluru Smart City Limited (BenSCL) for the shoddy roadworks in the Central Business District (CBD).

Pointing to frequent waterlogging and poor maintenance of these “smart roads”, Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) Chief Commissioner Gaurav Gupta wrote a letter to BenSCL and asked it to quickly resolve the issues.

“We have received several complaints pertaining to the condition of these roads in the CBD besides our own engineers making observations,” Gupta wrote in the letter to BenSCL Managing Director Rajendra Cholan.

The BBMP boss has also drawn the agency’s attention to growing traffic congestion on CBD roads due to delayed projects.
