Bbmp Engineers News Today

Gratings on the roads are meant for preventing water accumulation during the monsoon to facilitate movement of vehicles without hassle. However, broken and missing gully gratings and concrete around them have become a hurdle for motorists on Race Course Road. ​

Due to the sudden influx of buses and trucks, there is late night time usage of the road, causing disturbance to the residents. Residents have also started seeing an increase in accidents. But when residents began to raise the issue, they started passing the buck around. Ward engineers and Major Roads department point fingers at each other, say residents.

Both of them, along with BBMP engineers, visited Hennur Main Road which had flooded last year with 80 mm to 90 mm rain per hour, Sai Layout and Geddalahalli. They inspected the areas and instructed the engineers to take measures so that flooding can be avoided during this monsoon.
