The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike Karyaniratha Guttigedarara Sangha, which is an association of contractors, has alleged that corruption in the BBMP has gone up.
The delay in clearing pending bills of the last two years and the series of recent orders have resulted in an increase in the demand for higher commission (bribe) to clear files, the association has alleged in a letter.
The fresh allegations come at a time when the Karnataka State Contractors Association (KSCA) has upped its chorus against the state government over similar charges.
On Tuesday, the association members submitted a memorandum to the BBMP Chief Commissioner and warned of a protest if the number of tables are not reduced to clear payments.
