A week ago, we had written about the sorry state at the entrance of the Swabhimaana Tree Park in Sector 3. Action is yet to be taken on it. If this is allowed to go on, the stagnating water will create potholes, which is a massive dent on the excheque and a waste of public money. Did you know that Rs 3 crore is spent on relaying a kilometre of road?
“It’s a water pond near the main gate of the park,” says resident SB Kittur. “Whenever there is even half-an-hour of rain, the water collects on the road. The BBMP should act immediately by arranging the removal of the rain water and find a permanent solution.”
One solution is to place a big pipe that connects the road and the stormwater drain. “The corporator and MLA should force the BBMP to find a permanent solution,” he says.
