CM Bommai orders probe as newly-laid road caves in a day after PM's visit


Bengaluru, Jun 23 (IANS): Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has instructed the BBMP Commissioner to conduct an inquiry into the caving in of a road, which was repaired for Prime Minister Modi's visit to Bengaluru on Monday.

The state government, which has been facing flak over the shoddy state of roads in Bengaluru, has been left red-faced over the incident.

The road near the B.R. Ambedkar School of Economics (BASE) was re-laid just a couple of days before Modi's visit to inaugurate the BASE campus.

Bommai, who reached the national capital on Thursday, has instructed the BBMP Commissioner to conduct an inquiry into the shoddy work and take appropriate action against those responsible for it.

As part of the Rs 23 crore road repair works, the Jnanabharathi Main Road was asphalted at a cost of Rs 6 crore and Modi had travelled on this stretch on Monday. However, after a spell of overnight rain, this stretch of road caved in.

According to a preliminary inquiry, the road caved in due to leakage of a water pipe.

    According to me, CM and PWD ministers should resign immediately and the governer must order for the probe.

    What probe is going to prove. It's simple, Nehru, Gandhis and Congress responsible for the poor work and conditions of Namma Bengaluru roads.

    Almost all work of BBMP gets done this way. Huge project on smart city is being done with such inferior quality of work. Everywhere digging done but no use to public. All work ends with uneven finish, debris left over, broken walls, gutters which dont function, flooding of areas etc. Once again India is planning for World Bank Loan!!! Once again 50% share will go to BJP Govt and officers in power.

    Probe is a classic way of deflecting a situation ----- by the time probe report is out another new problem will emerge -- all forgotten -- This is actually a very serious lapse -- security wise -- PM 's convoy moving on same stretch ---- NOW --When it suits Order probe --- otherwise arrest -- We saw in climate activist Disha Ravi tool kit case -- the powers that be -- can act very swiftly -- swoop like hawks from delhi and come to bangalore - arrest and take her -- That the judge later rapped the govt is a separate issue--

    BJP claims all has happened after 2014 -- now we see results -- SINK HOLE --etc -- as rightly and sarcastically said here -- -- Double engine -- A road in Bihar -- national highway resembles water bodies + craters -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was the late Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru who first dubbed our factories, research laboratories, irrigation dams and power stations-- IIT's as the temples of modern India. In 1954, while inaugurating the Bhakra Nangal dam, the then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru christened it as the 'temple of modern India'. -------------------------------------------------------- KARNATAKA has had brilliant engineer Statesman -- SIR MV -- and many others -- Today we have needless waste -- Temples -- destruction by JCB 's -- Statues -- special aircrafts -- security running into hundreds of crores -- Pocketing MLA's -- Resort politics-- YOGA for individual publicity -- self aggrandizement etc etc--

    Maybe to buy Shinde BJP Karnataka had to contribute their share, so 90% may have given to the party fund.

    Dear Mr.Bommai-CM, I would like to draw your attendance to the difficulties we are facing due to poor condition of roads in Balaji Layout Kannarpadi- Udupi. One particular stretch of road has not been laid since 20 years from the time we started residing there. We are also paying the same tax to the panchayat as others residing in this layout. However the concrete roads and black top roads upto certain area in this layout is religiously done by your MLA Raghupathy Bhat and his board displayed. I will tell further on the misdoings at a later stage. Mr. Bommai if you happen to read this then send your representative to Balaji layout-Kannarpady Udupi and let him inspect the stretch after St.Mary School and prove we who are complaining are wrong.
