We have resolved to develop Bengaluru into a city with amenities of international standards and we are committed to making it a reality, said chief minister Basavaraj Bommai. The CM was speaking at a programme to celebrate the 513th birth anniversary of Nadaprabhu Kempegowda and distribute scholarships for school children jointly organised by PSR Builders, Grassroot and ABSS.
«Our government is committed to the comprehensive development of Bengaluru. Works on Rs 6000 crore Nagarothana projects have started. About Rs 1600 crore has been provided for the development of storm water drains. The Prime Minister recently laid the foundation stone for the Bengaluru Suburban Rail Project (BSRP). Tenders have been invited for the Peripheral Ring Road. Work will start this year itself. The metro is being extended. Many beautification works have been taken up in the city and greater emphasis is being given to improving the infrastructure of the city,» said Bommai.
He attributed the present civic woes of the city to the failure of the previous governments to take up underground drain works, development of roads and Cauvery water supply works in many parts of the city.
Referring to traffic congestion, he said that measures are being taken to ease the traffic flow. Satellite towns would be developed to decongest Bengaluru. The CM assured that his government would not discriminate in taking up development works in the BBMP wards. All the wards would be developed.
