BWSSB officials, who had cited a lack of funds to repair roads in Kasavanahalli, suddenly started the work on Saturday after learning that their chairman was visiting the place, according to residents.
For months now, residents of this locality in southeastern Bengaluru have been urging the water board to restore the roads that were dug up to lay pipelines for supplying Cauvery water. But no action was taken.
Things started moving only after the representatives of the Kasavanahalli Development Forum (KDF) complained to the BWSSB Chairman, Tushar Giri Nath. He agreed to visit the locality and meet the residents on Saturday. BWSSB officials swung into action. A road in KPC Layout was quickly levelled with the wet mix.
