The BBMP has drawn up an action plan to asphalt 392 km of arterial and sub-arterial roads at an estimated cost of Rs 600 crore.
The plan, scheduled to be executed this financial year, comprises 208 roads spread across 392 km from all eight zones.
While commuting in the city has been a concern due to poor quality of roads, some citizens are of the view that the BBMP — known for lack of accountability — must fix the roads under the supervision of ward committee members.
The grant of Rs 600 crore was promised by Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai under the state government’s Amrut Nagarothana programme. This is in addition to the grants provided by the BBMP under its own funds.
