Bengaluru: BBMP promises quick restoration of Avenue Road, nearby areas

In what would be a relief to traders in and around Avenue Road, Chickpet, Akkipet, Mamulpet and surrounding areas, Bengaluru’s civic body, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), has promised restoration of roads soon.

Bangalore Central MP P C Mohan and BBMP Administrator Gaurav Gupta, who visited these areas Wednesday, directed officials to complete desilting and repairing works soon. “Desilting work should be taken up immediately to ensure water flows without stagnation,” Gupta told BBMP engineers.

According to BBMP officials, development works have been going on in the area under the TenderSURE project for which the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) are completing underground drainage works on Cottonpet Road.
