Ananth Kumar, MP from Bangalore South, said that at a recent meeting, prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh had told him that Bangalore should be developed into an international city.
To begin with, the BBMP has a Rs10,000 crore comprehensive development plan to be executed in three phases.
The first phase will involve road improvement works including elevated corridors along major stretches that will lead to places outside the city.
The second phase will involve work related to underground drainage and revival of 300 city lakes.High on the agenda is the revival of the Arkavathy and Vrishabhavathy rivers by diverting Hemavathi river from Hassan to Thippagondanahalli. “In Gujarat, the Nethravathi river was diverted to revive the Sabarmati river. It can’t be done here,” he said.
