Days after the CAG report revealed that nearly 43% of the 1,400 kilometres of road network does not have a proper footpath, the BBMP itself was found to be an encroacher in Indiranagar.
Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) officials at Jogupalya ward 89 took up construction activities by invading the footpath. Indiranagar residents are accusing them of building an ‘arali katte’ on the footpath at 6th Main Road adjacent to 100 Feet Road.
“The BBMP has already set up a Reverse Osmosis (RO) water dispensing unit on the same stretch, which also encroaches upon the footpath. Now, they are constructing the ‘arali katte’, forcing pedestrians to walk on the road,” said a resident of the area who has also raised a complaint with the BBMP.
