Road cutting by new buildings is rampant, with or without BBMP’s permission. This stretch of the busy 27th Main-22nd Cross Road junction was dug up allegedly by the building owner of Motonation shop on 27th Main Road. Clearly, this is in violation as road cuttings are not allowed on roads that were tarred only a year ago. When the residents complained to the BBMP, the civic agency closed the complaint without resolving it, irking the citizens even more.
“The road and the foothpath in front of the Motonation shop was damaged on December 22, and no one has fixed it yet,” says resident Kamesh Rastogi who has complained on the BBMP app and to the authorities on social media. “They are closing the complaint after a few days and I have reopened it on three occasions so far.”
