The BBMP, which otherwise hardly completes any project on time, has achieved a rare feat by white-topping 100 kilometres of roads within just two years.
This is significant considering that the civic body had taken nearly three years to white-top just seven roads. So far, the civic body has completed nearly 75% of the first and second phases of the white-topping project (137km).
Much of the credit for completing the white-topping of roads on a war footing goes to BBMP Chief Commissioner Gaurav Gupta, during whose term the civic body white-topped nearly 60 km of road. He reportedly conducted a series of meetings with the officials concerned, inspected sites on a regular basis and ensured the timely release of payments to construction companies.
