Angered by the BBMP’s snail-paced underground work to lay Cauvery water pipelines in the entire Begur ward, the residents took to the streets on Sunday in silent protest.
It’s been five years since the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) started the work to lay pipelines to supply Cauvery water – the only source of drinking water for the people of Begur ward. The Palike awarded the project to a private contractor. The residents pointed out that the work being done is improper and is unnecessarily lagging behind.
According to them, the private contractor laid pipelines at some places in the ward but has not restored the dug up roads. “The roads are dug up for the underground work but are not redone properly.
