BBMP to clear Rs 25 crore bills for shoddy PM Modi visit work

BENGALURU: Bills worth Rs 25 crore for the dev­el­opment works on the stre­tch between Mariyappanapalya in Hebbal to Kommaghatta, com­pleted just before PM Nare­ndra Modi’s visit in June and that went bad soon after, are all set to be cleared. The BBMP Technical Vigilance Cell Under Commissioner (TVCC) has given the green signal for the payments. While activists sought a third-party inspection and certification for works, Palike’s Engineer-in-Chief BS Prahalad feels it is not necessary.
