A roadmap of Bangalore Development Plan (BDP) envisaged the
construction of five elevated roads connecting neighbouring states,
revival of rivers and remodelling of the underground drainage system,
said the Member of Parliament (Bangalore South) Ananth Kumar.
He was speaking at the inauguration of the Kadirenahalli underpass on Monday. The BBMP Commissioner along with the Deputy Chief Minister R Ashoka, who is also the incharge minister of Bangalore, has prepared the roadmap. The projects are estimated to cost Rs 27,000 crore.
The five elevated roads will be built outside the City limits on Old Madras Road, Yeshwanthapur-Peenya Road, Road to BIA, Mysore Road and Hosur Road, Kumar added.
Ashoka emphasised revisiting the tender system followed in awarding contracts. He said that under the present system, contractors and firms quoting less get the works and quality takes a beating.
“There should be a mechanism where firms with good reputation at national and international level alone should be allowed to take up the work,” said Ashoka.
His comment came following the enormous delay of four years to complete the Kadirenahalli underpass because of the incompetence of the contractor.
