 No delay in becoming MLA, MP, why block for corporators: Question from former mayors

 Why Neglect only for corporation election?

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್ 

Bengaluru: Divide the corporation by any means. But before that, hold an election to uphold the will of the Constitution. There is no delay in becoming an MLA, MP. You make elections according to the time. But, why is neglect only for local body elections...?

 Opinions and questions of former mayors of the corporation.

 Elections to the Legislative Assembly and Lok Sabha are held from time to time as per the constitution. The people's representatives elected by this have been postponing the elections to the local bodies as stated in the same constitution. He said that this is an insult to democracy.

 It would be good to divide Greater Bangalore administratively. If they are divided into four or five companies, they will not be able to coordinate with each other. If a major road runs between three corporations, each side is different. This is just an example. All development work will be affected. It may be better to put this together and form a system. But it is not right to postpone the election on the pretext of this,' opined former mayors.

 Can't even lift a lump of garbage. The authorities do not listen. In Basavagudi, the Rajkaluve work was not done properly and water entered some houses and they were floating. Officials do not care about people. Ex-mayor Katte Satya said that no rules are being followed.

Ward redistricting unconstitutional: According to the constitution, redistricting of wards should be done on the basis of the last census. However, now 225 wards have been made according to 'Projected Census' instead of 2011 census. that it is unconstitutional Former Mayor PR Ramesh informed.

 The central government's failure to conduct a census is a failure of the government. This should be corrected by the BJP government that was in power last time. He said that Bangalore is being developed without a hitch.

 What do former mayors say?

 'Officials going astray'

 The number of officers in BBMP has increased. People's representatives and ministers are also being misled. As chief minister, no one has control over the administration of the city. Due to the mistakes of the past, no work is being done to benefit the people of the city. BBMP should be elected first. Then any kind of division can be done' said P.R. Ramesh opined.

 "Rajiv Gandhi's wish should not be threatened"

 Rajiv Gandhi amended the constitution so that local bodies should not remain vacant for a single day without people's representatives and implemented the Panchayat Raj system. State governments should act so as not to harm their wishes. Elections should be held no matter what kind of changes are made, and should not be delayed further,' said M. Ramachandrappa said.

 'No mind to give power'

 MLAs and ministers are not giving authority to local bodies saying that we will be in power forever. If there are corporators, local problems will be solved sooner. They are postponing the election by complaining about each other. Also, BBMP should not be divided in any way. Bangalore's identity should be preserved' said S.K. Nataraj demanded.

'Everybody keeps procrastinating'

 BBMP should have elections from time to time. It is in the rule book itself that all the preparation should start six months before the end of the term. However, all the governments have not followed it and kept postponing the elections. They go to the court for any reason. Katte Satyanarayan opined that we will make another four or five Bengaluru Corporations is just a strategy to postpone the elections.

 'Democracy only when elections are held'

 If there is to be democracy, elections must be held. If elections are not held, where will democracy be? Officials should never wield power. That was the concern of Mahatma Gandhi and Nehru. Therefore, elections for local bodies should be conducted as per time', said K. Chandrasekhar opined.

 BENGALURU: Three-quarters of a year has passed without the corporators being 'taken up' by citizens to solve problems like garbage, culverts, roads, dirty water. For the first time since the establishment of the corporation, the corporation council has not been in existence for such a long period.

 With a history of around 162 years since the Municipal Board in 1862, local representatives are the lifeblood of Bangalore Corporation. The corporators are entrusted with the supervision of the development works of the city. However, in September 2020, the term of the BBMP Council has ended.

 It was Mahatma Gandhi's wish that 'every village should become a Swaraj' and take care of its own affairs as a decentralized government. In 1992, when Rajiv Gandhi was the Prime Minister, he amended the constitution and implemented the 'Panchayatraj system' across the country. However, the state government is not giving priority to such a wish. That is why the local elections are going ahead. 

 There have been no corporators in the state capital for three-quarters of a year. The continued centralized power of the Ministers and MLAs is contrary to the Constitution's intention of decentralizing power.

Due to such a centralized system, the daily problems of the citizens are not being solved. The Minister is the Chief Commissioner, even if he has made a helpline, shouldn't the local authorities respond to it? 800 sq.km city will the chief commissioner sitting in the central office or the administrator sitting in the mayor's position interact with the people like people's representatives?

 'Definitely not' is the word expressed by the citizens. The corporators in our locality respond to the citizens' problems. You can go to their house and tell them the problems. A loud one can do it. However, the authorities do not even talk to us. It is being heard everywhere that the officer is not responding even though he has been complaining about the common problems for three years. However, having corporators does not mean that everything is fine. Local problems can be solved more by them than MLAs and officials.

 enough...enough...

 Garbage was not disposed of in an area of Dasarahalli for the last one week. The road in that part has been dug for a week but the repair has not been completed. So waste collectors were not coming. Called BBMP control room to no avail. He did not know who to tell to control the smell of garbage. In the end it was enough to catch someone and dispose of the garbage. If it was the same corporator, this would not have happened. Residents of a barangay explained the incident by saying that they are needed to solve local problems.

 Meeting every month!

 If a council exists in BBMP, it meets every month. Citizens' issues are discussed there by corporators. They point out about the facilities required for their ward and the works that should not be done. The non-functioning officer will also be reprimanded. It cannot be said that they work in a completely pro-people manner. However, the corporator immediately responds to garbage disposal, road potholes, silt in drains, clearing of tree-branches, electric pole, wire problem, water supply interruptions that citizens face on a daily basis. The boys around him also run around and make sure that the work is done.

BBMP Eight zones are underdeveloped knot

 BBMP: A centralized system; Controlled by the Chief Commissioner

 BBMP Eight zones are underdeveloped knot

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್ 

 BENGALURU: Realizing that the 800 square kilometer area of BBMP cannot be managed by a central office, it has been divided into eight zones, but even after a decade, the zones continue to suffer due to lack of power and development funds.

 When the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Corporation was formed, a rule was made that the 'large area' that came under the jurisdiction of the city should be left to the local administration without sitting at the central office at Narasimharaja Chowk. However, even though senior IAS grade officers were appointed as Zonal Commissioners, local administration did not get a chance. Instead, everything is being controlled by the Chief Commissioner sitting in the central office.

 After the formation of BBMP, joint commissioners were appointed for eight zones. Zone-wise Sub-Revenue Divisions were created and empowered. They were identified as ward works and directed to carry them out. However, there would have been nothing in the budget except ₹2 crore each for the wards. Planning, road infrastructure, large waterways, technical cell, forest, lake, urban planning, including overbridges, underpasses were managed by the engineers sitting in the central office leaving eight zones and they are still in charge.

 The government decided to restructure the zones as development would not be possible if they remained like this. Senior IAS officers were made Zonal Commissioners instead of Joint Commissioners. The Joint Commissioner was directed to handle the revenue department only. However, the Zonal Commissioner seems to have no work to do. Their work is only a few crore works called ward works, rain water control, property tax collection. 

It seems that there is no staff to work in BBMP which is full of senior IAS officers. Apart from commissioners for eight zones, IAS officers have also been assigned to revenue, advertisement, TDR, climate change, planning, administration, finance, IT, election and education departments. Even so, development work is not being managed by BBMP. If there are new corporations, the number of these IAS will increase further.

 Conflict is more: 

Even if there are IAS officers for eight zones, the unachievable development and uncontrollable problems will be solved if there are five corporations. Mayor, deputy mayor, committee, officials, all expenses will be excessive and people will not get any benefit. There is also an opinion that there is a possibility of increasing the daily conflict due to discrimination in fund distribution and income.

 There is no separate budget for the zone

 The government took a decision to present the budget separately for the eight zones to allow them to carry out necessary development works. Accordingly, senior IAS officers were posted to the zones. However, even after two years, the separate budget has not been implemented. During the preparation of the budget, proposals are submitted for necessary works and grants from the sectors. No one considers them. Everything is decided by the officers and ministers sitting in the central office and the budget is prepared.

 Confusion in allotment of wards

 The confusion in the allocation of wards to the zones has not been resolved even after a decade. The situation is the same as when there were 198 wards, now the same situation continues in 225 wards. East and South zones have 44 wards each, while West zone has 46 wards. The number of wards in each of the remaining five constituencies does not exceed 24. Dasarhalli assembly constituency is divided into one zone. There should have been a lot of development in this zone with 11 wards. However, the works are not being done here due to the number of officers. Without the target of development, the zonal authorities are building roads, drains and laying asphalt with the funds brought by the legislators.

Bbmp: The 'mantra' of elections; the strategy of division

 'Nobody' wants corporators in BBMP; Dominance of MLAs and Ministers

 The 'mantra' of elections; the strategy of division

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್

 Bengaluru: At a time when the stage is being prepared for the elections to the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara palike, the talk of division is being heard again. Due to this, there is a doubt that the election may be postponed by several months.

 The Congress, BJP and JD(S) parties continued to postpone the BBMP elections while showing the 'distant hill' to their workers that the Assembly and Lok Sabha elections should be over. Assembly elections are over, Lok Sabha elections are also over. But only the BBMP election has not been decided yet.

 After the Lok Sabha elections were over, there was talk that another election would be held this time. However, the talk of 'partition strategy' has come to the fore again. Even in 2014, it was said that the election will be held after the Lok Sabha elections. As the ruling Congress won 9 constituencies in the state, the BBMP did not go to the trouble of holding the elections.

 It had said that BBMP will be divided into three parts to postpone the elections. It was tabled in the Legislature and consent was obtained amid three days of debate. That bill which went to the President's signature did not come back. Local opposition to partition cooled. Elections had to be held in 2015 by court orders. Congress came to power along with JDS. 

The term of BBMP Council has ended in September 2020. Although it has been almost four years, only the idea of holding elections is being heard. Even though the processes to be carried out by the government for the elections were done, they were all like postponing the elections. When the elections were to be held, the BJP government started the process of increasing the wards. It took more than a year for this. 198 to 243 wards were re-divided. 

 Allegations were heard that the division of wards was not done according to the population. Former corporators themselves went to court. BJP government also announced reservation for 243 wards. The court was approached saying that this is also not correct. MLAs of all parties were also behind the screen. He had made all the strategies and mantras to advance the election.

 After the Congress government came to power in 2023, it canceled the previous ward redistribution and created 225 wards at a rapid pace. Sabubu said that the 'caste census' report should come in order to announce reservation while considering whether to leave the election. When the report was released in late February, it was said that the BBMP elections would not be possible when the Lok Sabha elections were around the corner.

 After the Lok Sabha elections, the Congress government is in the same situation as it was in 2014. Both the neighboring constituencies, including the three constituencies of the BBMP, have gone to the BJP. Thus, there is an allegation that the weapon of 'divisiveness' has been used to postpone the election. 

Court order both times!

 In 2007, after Bangalore Mahanagara Palika (BNP) became Greater Bangalore Mahanagara Palika, both the elections were held on the orders of the court.

 On the pretext of redistribution from 100 wards to 198 wards, the then BJP government had been postponing the elections that were supposed to be held in 2008. The court then ordered and ordered the election to be held. Due to this, elections were held in 2010.

 In 2014, after the expiry of the BBMP council term, another election was to be held. The then Congress government had tried to postpone the election saying that the BBMP would be divided into three parts. Then the election was held in 2015 with the intervention of the court.

 The 'caste census report' is not agreed, though...

 Deputy Chief Minister D.K. said that there is a court order and elections have to be held. Shivakumar says. However, if reservation is to be fixed for 225 wards, the government must agree to the 'caste report'. It should be notified accordingly. Then the ward should be allocated. Even though all this process is completed during wartime, it takes four months to complete the ward reservation process. If someone goes to the court saying that reservation is not right, then everything will be blocked again. It is being said that this is what the MLAs and ministers of all parties want and what is being done behind the scenes.

RECHARGE PIT is mandatory in Canals, Drains

•  13,873 km; Road under BBMP
•  860 km; Rainwater is a huge channel
•  5,500 km; Road under BDA

 No need for concrete for drain bottom: Notice to BBMP, BDA again

 RECHARGE PIT is mandatory in canals

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್

Bengaluru: BBMP and BDA have been warned once again that concrete should not be placed at the bottom of the road side drains and rain water RECHARGE PIT should be made at storm water drains and road side drains.

 Development Commissioner Shalini Rajneesh has indicated that the areas of Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara palike (BBMP) and Bebgaluru Development Authority (BDA) are under the scope of the Suvarnamukhi River Basin Reclamation Project, and these departments should arrange rainwater RECHARGE PIT in the areas under their jurisdiction.

 Most of the rain water in South Taluk of the city flows into Suvarnamukhi River. The area of BBMP and BDA is increased in this area, and 'RECHARGE PIT' should be constructed to channel the rain water falling in the city into drains. Henceforth, while constructing new drains, it has been advised that concrete should not be placed at the bottom.

 Rainwater flows into water bodies from drains and large canals. Thus, it should be ensured that plastic, sewage water and solid waste materials do not enter the drains. All kinds of constructions obstructing water bodies should be cleared and people should be made more aware about rain water harvesting. It has been suggested that the Chief Engineer of Rajkaluwe Division (SWD) of BBMP should ensure that solid waste does not enter the water bodies.

Establishment of STP: 

It is necessary to control sewage water area wise within Bangalore Water Board. Bwssb should ensure that everyone has sewerage connection in inhabited areas. Sewage water should be treated before it is discharged into the open canal. For that, the BWSSB has been ordered to construct waste water treatment plants (STP) wherever required.

 BBMP, BDA and Bwssb should implement all these works within the available funds without expecting any kind of additional funds. It was ordered on May 17 that the action plan should be prepared within a month and the implementation work should begin.

 NGT order is not being followed!

 Concrete should not be placed at the bottom of canals and drains through which rainwater flows. The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has ordered that concrete drains should not be constructed in box type or U shape. However, none of the departments in the city, including BBMP, BDA, are following this order. If two side walls are constructed, the work requires more care. It is easy to construct drains in box or U shape with concrete. Therefore, even the senior engineers have not taken into account the NGT order, said BDA and BBMP engineers.

More than a crore RECHARGE PIT (Ingugundi) is possible!

 RECHARGE PIT has been constructed in road drains in Yediyur ward. Due to this, the amount of rain water flow is reduced and ground water is also increased. Similarly, crores of RECHARGE PIT can be built all over the city. However, such work has not been done everywhere. The work is done according to the will of the local people's representatives. The engineers informed that no one will do the inspection.

 There are more than 13,000 km of road in the BBMP area, which is 26,000 km including both sides. Even if at least 5 RECHARGE PIT are constructed per km, there will be more than 1 crore RECHARGE PIT. Millions of liters of water can be sent to the earth in every rain. If water wells are constructed in BDA, BMRDA and urban districts, groundwater will be enriched.

Conocarpus: 'Dubai plant' dangerous to health

 Thousands of plants are also planted in nurseries of Forest Department, BBMP, BDA on roads

 'Dubai plant' dangerous to health

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್ 

 Bengaluru: Conocarpus plant, which spoils the rain environment, adversely affects the health of citizens, is banned in the UAE and two states of the country, is spreading in the city.

 Conocarpus plant has been banned in Gujarat and Telangana states in 2023 as it is harmful to human health and will cause a situation where the rains do not come down in the area where these plants grow. In Gujarat these plants and trees have been cleared uprooted and burnt.

 The harmful Conocarpus plant also known as 'Dubai plant' has been planted and is being planted by Forest Department, BBMP, BDA in most areas of the city. BBMP and BDA are growing hundreds of conocarpus plants in the middle of the city's main main road, outer ring roads and central part roads. BBMP has also planted conocarpus in its gardens.

 Thousands of saplings are also being cultivated in the nurseries of BDA, BBMP and Forest Department. Conocarpus is fast growing and does not require much care. Rather quickly the green spreads and takes root. Due to this, government departments are planting more of this plant. In order to show more greenery, citizens, authorities are nurturing plants that are harmful to the environment.

There was not much information about the adverse effects of Conocarpus plant. Planted to grow fast. There are also plants in nurseries. Recently, experts have brought to our attention that it absorbs ground water more and affects breathing. Its seeds are large, from which plants arise. We now know that this is fatal. We have brought to the attention of senior officials about banning these plants. BBMP and BDA officials said that the higher officials of the forest department should take action.

 Associations and citizens should not plant large number of deadly Conocarpus plants in the nursery of BBMP and Forest Departments on the occasion of Environment Day. Experts have requested that only local plants should be given priority.

Harmful to Health...

 Conocarpus plant – The tree is high in carbon and emits a deadly acid that has a harmful effect on the human body, causing respiratory problems. Allergic diseases including cold, cough, asthma arise. Harmful to the health of native insects, birds and animals. In winter, this plant-tree is more affected. Excessive rooting can also damage underground cables and pipelines. 

 'should be Clear...'

 Conocarpus, which is prohibited elsewhere as it affects health and is naturally deadly to insects and birds, should not be cultivated. Plant expert N.M. should also take action to clear the trees and plants that are being planted and grown. Ganesh Babu demanded.

'We have brought to our attention...'

 We have brought to the attention of the forest department officials about the planting of conocarpus trees in BBMP. The dangers caused by these plants were explained to them and they were requested to take action to ban them. Planted plants should be removed. Before that, care should be taken not to plant these trees,' said 'Tree Doctor' Vijay Nishant.

 'We will take action...'

 Experts have brought to our home attention about the ill effects of Conocarpus plants. The plant is grown in the middle of the roads as it is more green. We will bring it to the attention of senior officials and discuss it and take action," said BBMP Forest Department officers.

Also, the members unanimously decided to keep the video-audio recording of the board meeting aside and put aside the chairman's words.

 The meeting approved the filling of 220 posts of the board and it was decided to request the government to fill up the rest of the posts except driver and watchman posts through the Karnataka Examinations Authority.

The State Level Enforcement Committee has been reconstituted and the members nominated by the Government have also been appointed. As per the KTPP Act, it has been decided to increase the amount of expenditure on projects approved by the Chairman and Member Secretary. It has been decided to amend the rules to increase the power of the Chairman from ₹50 lakh to ₹5 crore and that of the Member Secretary from ₹25 lakh to ₹2 crore.

 BBMP's ₹53 crore extravagance!

 The State Pollution Control Board has decided to spend ₹53 crore given by the BBMP to replace the action plan of 64 activities of the 'Vayu Yojana' selected on the Central Air Pollution Control Board's 'Prana' portal.

 The money allocated to BBMP in the 15th financial plan is being spent for monitoring air pollution, road dust study, upgrading of laboratories, vehicle air pollution monitoring, survey, study and report preparation. The board members complained that this will not be of any use.

Treated water for lakes in 38 villages

 19 Measures to prevent sewage water from flowing into water bodies: Project by Jalamandali with World Bank assistance

Treated water for lakes in 38 villages

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್

Bengaluru: Bengaluru Jalamandali (BWSSB) has devised a World Bank-assisted project to stop the flow of sewage water into 19 lakes under the BBMP.

 A plan to set up Sewage Water Treatment Plants (SPT) has been submitted to the World Bank and its approval is in the final stage. The Jalamandali has planned to complete the installation of STP in one year after getting the approval.

 As per the instructions of the National Green Tribunal, water supply and sewerage lines will be installed in 110 villages on the 'trunked pipeline' model. So that the sewage water does not flow outside. Millions of liters of sewage water from 38 villages and about 30 new layouts under their jurisdiction are directly entering the lakes every day. To prevent this, 9 STPs are installed to drain the treated water into the lake. From this, a plan has been made to drain only treated water in the lakes of this part and the series of canals after it.

 Along with these STPs 10 Intermediate Sewage Pumping Stations (ISPS) are also being set up. The total cost of the project including setting up of ISPS units near lakes where STPs cannot be set up and pumping sewage water to STPs is estimated to be around ₹1 thousand crore.

 A plan has been made to install STP and ISPS to prevent sewage water from flowing into 19 lakes. World Bank assistance has been sought for this and administrative approval has been obtained. As soon as the financial approval is received, the tender process will be completed and the units will be installed, said Jalamandali Chairman Ram Prasat Manohar.

Now a plan has been prepared to treat the sewage water of 38 villages. Similar units will be set up in 110 villages in the coming days. Financial assistance and grants are being checked for this,' he said.

 Action to stop sewage flows to all lakes: Ram Prasat

 "Sewage water flowing into lakes in the city is a perennial problem. This is being gradually reduced and steps will be taken to ensure that sewage water does not flow directly into any lake in the next few years. Only treated water is thought to flow into the lake. Ram Prasat Manohar, president of Bengaluru Jalamandali said that many projects have been prepared for this purpose and the water board will try to save the environment of the lakes.

•  9 Sewage Water Treatment Plant
•  148 mld Total capacity of nine STPs
•  10 IS Pumping Station
•  21 mld Total pumping capacity of ten ISPS

 STP for sewage water of which villages?

Additional 10 TMC CAUVERY WATER to BENGALURU

 Reduction of excess water use in agriculture; Notice to water board to increase capacity

 Additional 10 TMC CAUVERY WATER to BENGALURU

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್

 BENGALURU: The government has decided to supply 10 tmc ft of additional water to Bengaluru city to save Cauvery water, which is heavily used in agriculture.

 The new settlements and areas of the city, including the 110 villages covered by the Brihat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palika (BBMP), need more water. Thus, the Bengaluru Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) had submitted a proposal to the government that surplus water should be allocated. After reviewing this, the government directed the Cauvery Irrigation Corporation to review the feasibility of supplying additional water and submit a report.

 A committee led by technical experts conducted a review and found that 'rice, sugarcane and other agricultural crops are using much more water than required. If this is reduced, more water can be provided to Bangalore', the report said. Based on this report, the government has given in-principle consent to the BWSSB and suggested to increase the capacity to use the surplus water.

 Cauvery 5th phase project to supply water to Bengaluru is in the final stage and it is planned to supply water to 110 villages in April. On this occasion, it is intended to start the works to increase the capacity to collect and supply additional 10 TMC feet of water,'' BWSSB President Ramprasath Manohar informed.

 BWSSB uses 24 TMC feet of water from Cauvery annually, of which 20% is classified as 'Consumptive use'. That is, if using the water obtained from the river, 20% of it is returned to the river itself, there is a chance of getting that amount of water in excess. On this basis, the government has agreed to demand more water. Officials explained that most of the water used in the city is joining Kaveri River through Vrishabhavati, Arkavati and canal-valleys.

Consent in principle: Ramprasat

 A proposal was submitted to the government that due to the increase in the population of the city and the development of the areas, the allocation of water should be increased. BWSSB Chairman Ramprasath Manohar said that an in-principle consent has been given to save 10 TMC feet of water under the Cauvery Irrigation Corporation.

 Annual allocation of Cauvery water to the city

•  24 TMC Ft: Allotment as per Supreme Court judgment
•  19 TMC Ft: Water currently being used
•  5 TMC Ft: Water available for stage 5
•  34 TMC Ft: The total water allocation is 10 tmcft which the government has now agreed to

 Use of Cauvery water in the city

•  1,450 million litres: Daily supply of water in the city
•  1.6 TMC Ft: Water being supplied to the city every month
•  750 million litres: Additional water supplied daily on completion of 5th stage
•  2.4 TMC Ft: Current and Phase 5 water supply to the city every month

BBMP: Budget preparation begins

 Rethinking zone-wise budget; Citizens' advice is not invited

 BBMP: Budget preparation begins

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್

Bengaluru: BBMP has started preparing the budget for 2024-25, department-wise progress and consultation meetings are going on.

 Chief Commissioner Tushar Girinath has already held a meeting with the Commissioners of Zones including Special Commissioners of all Divisions. He instructed to provide information on budget preparation and status of expenditure and projects in this financial year.

 Officials said that the heads of all departments and executive engineers of BBMP have started the work of budget preparation and providing information and will give details within January 15.

 Chief Commissioner Tushar Girinath had said last year that 'zone-wise budget presentation will be provided'. But as it was the occasion of assembly elections without any opportunity for that, the budget was presented as usual. But this time the thinking has started again for the zone wise budget.

 As Commissioners are appointed only for zones, they are responsible for the works there. It is intended to get information about works and projects from them and provide finance for them. Already, bills are being paid to the contractors by zone wise Chief Engineers. Thus, it is known that the budget has been planned to be presented sector wise.

 Officials informed that the budget of the departments that manage major and major projects like urban planning, Storm water drain, projects, solid waste, lakes, and road infrastructure will be separate.

Last time suggestions were invited from the public in December itself. This time no such process took place. The officials are not giving recognition to the few exists ward committee's opinions. Therefore, this time also the important officials and Deputy Chief Minister D.K.Shivakumar's words and thoughts only will be in the budget, said a senior engineer, who did not want to reveal his name.

 As it has been decided to strictly collect all types of fees and taxes to be paid to the corporation including property tax, the income will increase. Therefore, it is said that this time the budget will also include a proposal to carry out huge projects including white topping and flyover under the corporation's grant.

 The budget for the year 2022-23 was presented on the website last year on March 31 at 11.30 pm as a 'secret' budget. The then Special Commissioner of Finance, Jayaram Raipura, had presented the ₹11,163 crore budget (2023-24) in a program held at the Town Hall on March 2 last year.

 Attempt this time: Tushar Girinath

 Last year the zone wise budget was not possible. This time trying to budget zone wise. It is suggested to prepare for presentation of zonal budget for maintenance and ward level works projects. The BBMP budget will be presented in a week after the budget of the state government,'' said BBMP Chief Commissioner Tushar Girinath.

KIADB has no authority to APPROVE PLAN!

 BBMP appeals to the government to withdraw the order; Millions of income to the Corporation

KIADB has no authority to APPROVE BUILDING PLAN!

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್

 BENGALURU: A proposal has been submitted to the government that the authority to approve plans for buildings under Karnataka Industrial Area Development Board (KIADB) should be allowed to be handled by BBMP from now on.

 According to the Town and Country Planning Act, Karnataka Municipal Act (KMC), the respective local bodies, authorities have to approve plans for all buildings and layouts under their jurisdiction. According to the BBMP Act, this authority is vested in the corporation. However, KIADB has no recognition of such act or notification. Therefore, it is requested in the proposal that it should be indicated that the plan should be sanctioned from the BBMP itself.

 This proposal was submitted to the Urban Development Department by BBMP ten days ago, and if the government approves it, it is estimated that crores of revenue will be collected for the corporation.

 'Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) is the competent authority for sanctioning building/ layouts plans in Bangalore. The government has issued a notification, that delegaes the power of approving plan to BBMP. However, KIADB has been given the authority to approve plans in the city through an order. The government has been requested to withdraw this order and continue the opportunity of sanctioning the plan to the BBMP," said senior officials of the BBMP.

According to the Town and Country Planning Act, KMC Act, Section 15 and Section 240 of the BBMP Act, the building plans must be approved. No body other than those in these Acts has statutory authority to sanction building or layout plans.

 Certain orders of the Supreme Court were also cited in the proposal, explaining the clear information in the order that only a local body can sanction a plan. According to the law, KIADB has no authority to sanction the plan, it was informed in the proposal submitted to the government with several examples.

 156 authority only!

 As per the Karnataka Town and Country Planning Act – 1961, there are 32 urban development authorities and 53 town planning authorities in the state. Also, 75 municipal-town panchayats are functioning as planning authorities.

 Bangalore Development Authority was created by Bangalore Development Authority Act-1976. In addition, Bangalore Metropolitan Area Development Authority covers Bangalore International Airport Area, Greater Bangalore–Bidadi Smart City Planning Authority, Ramanagara, Kanakapura, Channapatna, Magadi, Nelamangala, Hoskote, Anekal and Doddaballapur Planning Authority, Suburban Circle Road Planning Authority.

 A total of 156 authorities in the state have statutory powers to sanction building and layouts plans. BBMP's contention is that the Karnataka Industrial Area Development Board (KIADB) is not in the list.

A shower of Promises; Unseen development

Bengaluru: Rewind 2023....

 A shower of Promises; Unseen development

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್

 While the capital city of Bangalore saw a flurry of promising development projects from the beginning to the end of 2023, there was no forecast for the implementation of those projects by the end of the year.

 Traffic control, signal-free traffic, non-stop water in rainy season, flyover, tunnel, elevated corridor, 25-year visionary development works, concrete roads, pothole-free roads...Hundreds of promises were made by those in power and those who came to power from the beginning to the end of the year. None of these were implemented.

 Although hundreds of projects have been announced in the name of 'Brand Bangalore', they are still in the meeting, ceremony and discussion stage. As the contractors were not paid for the work done, they protested and stopped the work. Many works have not yet started.

 BWSSB continues to promise that it will provide Cauvery water and sewerage system for drinking to all parts of the city. Bengaluru Development Authority, which had high hopes for allotment of new plots, did not implement a single scheme this year, not allotting plots to citizens.

 As it was an election year, three or four months passed, but stuck in the end of one government and the beginning of another government, Bangalore development works did not see any progress. Development could not be seen in the huge glow of promises.

₹59 lakh for BDA plot!

 Dr. Shivaram Karanta Barangay: Proposal to Government for Tariff Implementation

 ₹59 lakh for BDA plot!

 Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್

Bangalore: Dr. The Bengaluru Development Authority, which has fixed the rates of plots in Shivaram Karanta Barangay, is awaiting the government's approval for its implementation.

 A proposal has been submitted to the government to fix ₹4,900 per square foot for all plots measuring 30x40 feet and beyond in Shivaram Karanta Barangay. It is proposed to fix a rate of ₹3,850 for 20x30 feet plots to benefit the economically backward.

 There are 34,000 plots in the settlement, out of which almost half of the plots are to be reserved for farmers. Thus, the BDA has decided to fix the rates for Shivaram Karant Barangay plots higher than the previous barangays in order to cover the cost of development and sought the government's approval. The rate is lower than the market rate around the barangay," said senior BDA officials.

 Plots were being allotted in Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Barangay since 2016 and were fixed at ₹2,200 to ₹2,400 per square foot. BDA has decided to capitalize on the demand for Shivram Karanta Barangay near Kempegowda International Airport and the proposed Peripheral Ring Road (PRR).

 Under the leadership of the Supreme Court Committee, Shivaram Karanta Barangay is being developed and has expanded in 17 villages. So far about 30 thousand plots have been developed and about 25 thousand plots have been numbered. The Supreme Court committee members and Deputy Chief Minister said that the process of allotment of plots will start in September itself. However, so far that process has not been started.

• 34,000 total plots in Shivram karanta barangay
•  The proposed rate is ₹4,900 per sq.ft
•  ₹ 58.9 lakh for a 30x40 feet plot

 Rate of flats increased by 3% to 8%

 The flat rates of the seven projects built by BDA and available for sale will increase by 3% to 8% in the near future.

 Deputy Chief Minister D.K. In the meeting held with Shivakumar, there was a discussion about increasing the notified rate of flats in the wake of the increase in the guideline rate. DCM also suggested to take a clear decision in this regard.

 BDA housing department engineers have prepared a proposal to increase the rates of flats, which will be submitted to the board meeting of the authority after obtaining the approval of the BDA commissioner. There the notified rate will come into force after approval.

 The rate of flats will be re-fixed as per the guideline rate and the rate of flats in Nagarabhavi will increase by 8%. In the blink of an eye, the price of flats will increase by at least 3%. BDA officials said that the flat of the remaining projects will increase by 3% to 8%.

IAS interested in other posts!

 IAS interested in other posts!

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್

 BENGALURU: The government is violating All India Services (AIS) rules by giving IAS officers responsibility for posts that could be handled by other cadres. It also broke the rule that such posts should be given to IAS officers.

 Officers who have risen from lower level positions in the department have technical knowledge and experience. Irrigation, Public Works, Energy Department Secretary, Corporation Managing Director posts were given to Chief Engineers of respective departments. There is also an allegation that an unwritten rule has been created that such posts are reserved for IAS officers.

 Among the administrative posts in the state, 163 posts of senior rank are reserved for IAS officers. AIS Rule R8(2), 11(R1)) clearly mentions the post in which IAS officers should hold. 25% of the IAS officers appointed to these posts i.e. only 40 posts can work in non-scheduled, ex-cadre. However, this number is 129 in the state.

 40% of the IAS officers allotted to Karnataka can go to Central service on deputation. That means, 65 people are allowed to go. However, this number has not crossed 25.

The important posts of heads of various departments, corporations, boards under the purview of the state government have been identified as ex-cadre posts. In these posts, the number of officers of senior rank cannot exceed 40. If, however, the period cannot continue for more than six months. The rule states that if there is an imperative to proceed, the permission of the Central Government is required.

 "IAS officers have continued in cadre posts as well as ex-cadre posts for years. They does not want to go to central government posts, they holds many posts including corporation-board. Some hold two-three ex-cadre posts along with the cadre post. Due to this, non-IAS officers are missing the opportunity to assume higher posts and get promoted. A senior official who did not want to be named informed that since it is the IAS officers who make the administrative rules in the state government, the chief minister and the minister are not aware of the AIS rules and their violations.

 The state government is deputing IAS, IPS, IFS officers through ex-cadre to its subordinate departments, corporation-boards and authorities. He is not needed in all posts. There is no guideline on what basis they are being appointed. If there is this guideline, IAS officers are also covering up the request to publish it', he complained.

ACS post beyond the rules!

 According to AIS rules, there should be two additional chief secretaries. However, there are eight ACSs in the state government. As soon as January comes, all these years of service are over and they get promoted and become ACS. However, it is not guaranteed whether it is allowed or not. Officials said that six ACSs are in that post beyond the rules.

'Occupying is not right in all positions'

 IAS, IPS and IFS officers have their own posts. No one else can go to those positions. Likewise, it is not right for them to occupy unnecessary posts. It is illegal to appoint IAS officers to the environment sector department, corporation and authorities. This is clearly stated in the order of the suit filed by me in the High Court regarding the appointment of the Chairman and Member Secretary of the State Pollution Control Board. Government should properly utilize the potential of IAS officers. Anjaneya Reddy said that all posts should be stopped from IAS, IPS and IFS.

CONDITION for the development of the LAKE is a CRISIS!

LAKE Survey, encroachment clearance FIRST, work LATER: Govt CONDITION 

 The CONDITION for the development of the LAKE is a CRISIS!

 Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್

Bengaluru: The BBMP is in a crisis due to the condition of the approval given to the action plan drawn up under the Finance Commission grant for the development of lakes.

 The government has stipulated that the development works of the lakes should be taken up only after identifying the boundaries of the lakes and clearing the encroachment in them. In the 15th Finance Commission grant for the year 2022-23, ₹49 crore has been given for the development of 14 lakes.

 Earlier, a detailed project report (DPR) was prepared, tenders were called and work orders were issued as soon as development of lakes was approved. The encroachment was noticed only after the work started. Apart from that, there are examples of works being carried out in many lakes.

 This time, the lack of permission for such a task has put the BBMP officials in 'difficulty'. It is regrettable on the part of BBMP engineers that the work should start only after the area of the lake, demarcation and clearance of encroachments. However, this condition has made the city dwellers and environmental activists happy, and there is hope that the lakes will remain intact.

Is it possible to clear the encroachment of Madiwala Lake?: 

The Forest Department has been earmarked ₹15 crore for the development of Madiwala Lake, which has recently been handed over to BBMP. The government encroachment is only 10 acres in Madiwala Lake, which is 267 acres in area. BDA Road, other roads, slums, buildings have been constructed. This encroachment has not been cleared for many decades. This is a challenge for BBMP officials.

 Madiwala lake has not been desilted for decades. Its work is very high. In addition, the pressure is too high. To remove this first, rehabilitation, BDA roads are all obstacles. These can be difficult to clear. However, efforts will be made to clear the encroachment. Madiwala lake is very big and requires huge amount of money for its development. First DPR is prepared. After that, the whole process will start," said the engineers of the BBMP Lake Division.

 Slums have been built in Kacharkanahalli Lake. No lake survey has been done here. Local politicians assured that, will clear the encroachments. However, half of the lake is encroached. According to the CONDITION, the work should be started only after the rehabilitation of all of them. It will take a lot of years, say the engineers.

 The survey of Halasuru and Veerasagara lakes has not been done till now. Survey of these should be done first. Only then should the process of development work begin. Also, many of the 14 lakes have already developed to some extent. The question is how this CONDITION applies there. Thus, it is also true that the government CONDITION has given more responsibility to the officials of BBMP. Environmental activists are of the opinion that if this is implemented in full, it will benefit the environment.

 Not included in the 'action plan'!

 Madiwala, Kacharakanahalli, Halasuru, Anjanapura lakes have not been included in the 'action plan' submitted by the High Court regarding clearing encroachment of lakes. Only 149 lakes are in the action plan and the rest of the lakes are not in the list even though they are encroached.

 It is not necessary to clear only encroachments in the lakes in the 'Action Plan'. Action will be taken to clear encroachment in all the lakes. Engineers of BBMP Lakes Department said that development works will be carried out by giving first priority to squatters.

 Survey as a map?

 It is a good thing that the government has stipulated that the lakes should be surveyed, encroachment should be cleared and then development should be done. But, the question is on the basis of which map the survey will be conducted. First needed answer for this, take a clear stand and move forward,' demanded Ramprasad of Friends of Lake.

 The survey should be conducted like the revenue map of 1974 to 1976. In 2015, there are new surveys done by the land surveyors of the revenue department. There is a lot of variation in these. Thus, if the survey and development are carried out as per the old revenue map, the water storage of the lakes will increase. Along with the increase in ground water, the environment will also be protected,' he said.
