Ongoing civic works take a hit as BBMP cites model code of conduct

BENGALURU: Be it pending street works, clearing of rubbish, defunct streetlights or overflowing drains, citizen complaints to civic companies are falling on deaf years.
Civic officials are mentioning election work or the style code of conduct for their lack of ability to concentrate on regimen work. Residents then again say their complaints aren’t related to new tasks which will have to be stalled because of the style code of conduct, but those who have already been taken up and are stuck for various reasons.

MPM Layout in Mallathahalli, west Bengaluru, is a living proof. According to senior citizen Gopal BV, cross roads of the 1st Main Road in his house, the place over 150 folks reside, used to be dug up closing December to put new drainage pipes. “BBMP used to be supposed to relay the street, but continues to be to complete the work. Though we had been advised that our street is already listed for asphalting, civic officials aren’t imposing the similar regardless of giving us assurances each and every time we meet them. Meetings with the local corporator and the MLA too haven’t yielded any outcome. Now, some officials are using the style code of conduct as an excuse,” he added.


Similar is the tale of Lakshmi Road in Shantinagar. “Pipe-laying and street works in Lakshmi Road and other lanes are stuck regardless of residents elevating the problem. Whenever we name officials, be it from BBMP, BWSSB or other companies, they are saying work can't be taken up because of the style code of conduct. Does election imply common existence will have to come to standstill,” questioned Anthony Raju, a resident.


Residents of areas in Mahadevapura, Bommanahalli and Yelahanka additionally expressed equivalent issues, although election officials have obviously mentioned that no ongoing work or emergency services will have to be affected all through the election period.


As in keeping with election commission laws, the restriction is best on release of new tasks, calling of fresh tenders and issuing contemporary work orders, a senior BBMP legit mentioned.
