Bengaluru, Oct 11: It’s been just four months since the Bengaluru’s Kundalahalli underpass was inaugurated. But, unfortunately, the above road caved in for 40m. This has made way for the Congress to level the allegation of ’40% commission’ against the state government.
The road was constructed to connect eastern suburbs with other parts of the information technology hub at the cost of whopping Rs 19.5 crore. Now, within four months, the road has been closed for commuters as the repair work in underway.
“Because of the recent damage to the Kundalahalli flyover, repair work is going on. So vehicle movement will be a bit slow. Our advice to commuters is to use an alternative route if possible,” an officer of the HAL traffic police said.
Congress MLA Priyank Kharge took to twitter to criticise the government. “Commission Rate Card: Religious heads – 30%, State Contractors – 40%, BBMP – 50%. #40PercentSarkara has ensured a systemic decay in Governance that has led to collapse of our progressive state,” he tweeted.
According to Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) officials, the road caved in after an underground pipe broke and water seeped in a few days ago. And Bengaluru Water Supply and Sewerage Board chairman N Jayaram said the pipe, installed by the BBMP during the construction of the underpass, had been repaired.
Newly built road peels off in Shivamogga:
In a similar incident, a newly built road is peeling off even before completing four months. The incident was reported from Ripponpet in Hosanagara taluk. Locals say that the road was laid just four months ago and has started peeling off.
The 5.13 km long road was built at the cost of Rs 4.4 crore. A similar complaint was raised by the residents of Honnetlu in Thirthahalli taluk of Shivamogga district in June. The villagers at the time blamed the poor quality of work for the damage.
