At a review meeting on Tuesday, Yelahanka MLA S.R. Vishwanath raised the issue of the slow pace of shifting of utilities, such as power lines, gas lines and optic fibre cables, drinking water and underground drainage lines. This, in turn, was delaying road restoration work, he said at the meeting which he chaired with BBMP Chief Commissioner Gaurav Gupta, and senior officials from civic agencies.
Of the 110 villages where BWSSB is providing new drinking water and UGD lines, 16 come under the Yelahanka Assembly constituency. BWSSB officials were directed to submit the list of areas where pipeline work has been completed to the BBMP. This will help the civic body in taking up road restoration in those areas, he said.
Meanwhile, Mr. Gupta directed officials to identify areas where rainwater had entered homes and was stagnating on roads.
