The dust bowl of Banaswadi The dust bowl of Banaswadi ByY Maheswara ReddyY Maheswara Reddy / Updated: Mar 11, 2021, 06:00 IST Despite allocation of Rs 2.75 cr for restoration of roads dug up 2 yrs ago, work yet to begin; BBMP Assistant Engineer has only promises to offer The plight of people residing in Banaswadi is a classic example of the perfunctory attitude of the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board ( BWSSB) and Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) authorities, who compete among themselves in who can delay developmental work more. Two years ago, the BWSSB had engaged a contractor to lay underground drainage pipes and Cauvery water pipes. The contractor took two years to complete the work, after which he left without restoring the road back to its original form. Now, the residents are running pillar to post to make this happen.
