Heavy rains hold up major infrastructure projects in Bengaluru
The incessant rains over the last few months have stalled the already delayed infrastructure projects in the city. The showers have also dispirited the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike’s (BBMP) plan to inaugurate two major projects in the city to commemorate the 75th Independence Day.
The first-of-its-kind waterway project in Bengaluru, on the stormwater drains of Koramangala Valley, which empties into the Bellandur Lake was to be opened on August 15. However, according to officials, they were not able to make much progress in the last two months.
“Of the 9.2-km long project, we wanted to complete at least a 2.4-km stretch between NR Road and Bannerghatta Road, including the walkway near Shanthinagar bus terminal.
