BBMP Commissioner
RAIN WATER STORM DRAINS
Sir,
Storm water drains are being constructed in
Indiranagar. I observed the following -
1.) The drains are not continuous meaning
the storm water has no way to go beyond limited 30 to 40 feet and is not
connected to any nala.
2.) The slope of the storm water drainage is
not constructed well so the water will stagnate leading to mosquito breeding
and menace.
3.) The work is unscientific and it is only
dumping of concrete cement and manhours would not result in any kind of storm
water drainage.
4.) There are many households who resist
the storm water drainage being constructed so the contractor avoids construction at those places resulting in further
restriction of water drainage.
5.) At cross roads, there is no place for the water to drain
as there is no provision made by laying down pipes connecting storm water
drains from across. This results in blockage and the very purpose of these
drains gets defeated.
Seeing this I really wonder as an administration is BBMP serious about
these works or it just doing these work for spending allotted money. There is
no seriousness, no supervision and no checking. The storm water drains in this
form is not going to make any difference in fact it will aggravate the mosquito
menace.
I request the Commissioner to personally look into the matter and set the
things right. If you give to the concerned department for comments (which is
normal procedure) then concerned department would write back commenting that
something is being done and would be written in such an English that the
comment itself will not make any sense and the chapter would be closed. So please
don’t let it happen and I request you to take immediate personal interest and
make a qualitative difference in the further work. Already such kind of shabby
storm water drains have been completed on 13th 14th main
road and now they are doing it in 14th A main road.
I will follow up every two days so please take it seriously. I am sending
you some photographs.
