A sum of Rs 10 crore has been allotted for various development works in Basavanagudi constituency.

Making this announcement here on Tuesday, Bengaluru Development Minister K J George who inspected the damage done by the heavy rains said he had ordered the de-silting of stormwater drains, especially in Karitimmanahalli on a priority basis so that the rainwater does not get clogged and cause health issues.

He has ordered installation of new water pipelines to prevent future problems due to waterlogging the minister added. “Residents have complained against the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) bus stand in Srinagar where buses do not have space to enter inside due to parking of vehicles on both sides of the stand.

“The minister has ordered them to clear the parking of vehicles making it easier for buses to enter the stand,” said a senior BBMP official.

Since the roads in Girinagar and Weaver’s Colony are severely damaged, minister George has directed Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) Commissioner N Manjunath Prasad to take up the asphalting work immediately.
