BBMP Elections: More Confusion

 Commencement of work in ward immediately after notification: Decision of aspirants

 BBMP Elections: More Confusion

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್

 Bengaluru: Will the BBMP elections take place? This question, which has been frequently asked for two years, has not yet received a clear answer. Even though 225 wards out of 243 wards were the final notification, the confusion further increased.

 The corporator aspirants including Congress-BJP said that there is only a fifty-fifty chance of holding the election. Earlier it was called assembly election. Now, they are saying that BBMP elections can be held after the Lok Sabha elections are over.

 Last time, the aspirants had done a lot of work and expenses within their limits as the election would be held for 243 wards. However, they clearly says that, they will not do such an adventure this time.

 We will start work within the ward after the Election Commission issues a notification regarding the holding of the election. Until then we have no faith in anyone. All MLAs of the city are united in postponing the BBMP elections. The aspirants say that none of the remaining MLAs, except one or two, need a corporation election at the moment.

 Ward boundary confusion: 

Congress government has canceled 243 wards created when BJP was in power and notified 225 wards. The BJP's complaint is that the boundaries have been changed to facilitate the Congress aspirants. "Isn't it the same as what you have done in the past?" Congress asked. Thus, the possibility of this border dispute going to court again is high.

 Reservation Confusion Again:

Reservation of 225 wards under BBMP should be given to 10 categories. 24.10 per cent (54-55 wards) should be reserved for Scheduled Castes and Tribes, 34.17 per cent (77 wards) for Backward Class – A category (BCA) and 11 wards for Backward Class – B category.

Ward reservation should be finalized and notified. It has to be certified and issued when the government submits it to the court. The government has not yet accepted the caste report prepared for these castes and sub-castes. It should be approved by the cabinet and then submitted to the court. Court should accept it. Experts say that this process takes months.

 Castes belonging to backward classes should be notified and submitted to the Supreme Court. 17 states including Karnataka are yet to submit this report. After the Union Cabinet approves it, the President has to give his assent. He informed that the confusion will be solved only then.

 December 13 deadline!

 There is a rule that elections to local bodies cannot be held six months before or after the Lok Sabha elections. Thus, the BBMP elections are to be held by December 13 and the results are to be announced.

 Congress and BJP leaders are expressing mutual suspicion that they can go to court regarding ward allocation and reservation.

 Reservation final in two weeks: Ramalingareddy

 The government is ready to hold the BBMP elections within the first week of December. The reservation of wards will be finalized in another two weeks. The government has given many facilities and 'lucks' to the people. Transport Minister Ramalingareddy said that we are going to get the results of that and come to power in BBMP.

BSK, J.C. Road flyovers to ease congestion

 Project to facilitate vehicular traffic in the southern part of the city

BSK, J.C. Road: Two flyovers to ease congestion

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್

 Bengaluru: BBMP is planning to undertake two projects to facilitate traffic in the southern part of the city.

 An integrated flyover from Krishna Rao Park to Kanakapura Road, an underpass from Banashankari Market to Sarakki Junction has been launched. Apart from this, the construction of Elevated Corridor from Minerva circle to Hudson circle is also in progress.

 There is heavy traffic at Banashankari Junction now and it will increase further in the coming days. Raghunath Naidu, who was the Congress candidate from Padmanabhanagar Assembly Constituency, requested DCM that flyovers should be constructed at five or six junctions including this junction to enable signalfree traffic.

 On this request Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar had inspected the place on August 18. He had directed the BBMP officials to prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR). Accordingly, BBMP has invited tenders for the DPR of the project on September 25. There is an opportunity to submit the tender within October 3 and the tender process will be completed on October 9. DPR can be submitted within 30 days.

 BBMP engineers said that there is a plan to construct an integrated flyover from Krishna Rao Park, Tata Silk Farm Junction, Yediyuru Junction, Yediyuru Maternity Hospital Junction, JSS College Junction, Hunasemara Junction, Banashankari Temple, Kanakapura Road.

J.C. Road 'elevated corridor'!

 J.C. road 'Elevated Corridor' which was planned to be built under the amruthanagarotthan grant in the BJP government. For construction of road 'Elevated Corridor' Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar has given approval on 6th September. Tenders have been called immediately and the project has been suggested to be implemented.

 Earlier there was opposition to the steel flyover. Therefore, some changes have been made in the DPR prepared earlier. A grant of ₹213 crore has been given for the 'Elevated Corridor' in the Amrita Urban Development Project, said the Planning Division Engineer.

 From Minerva Circle on J.C road an 'elevated corridor' will be constructed up to Hudson Circle. It is a two-way four-lane flyover. Minerva Circle, Bharat Talkies, Shivaji Talkies, Town Hall, LIC Head Office, Halasur Gate Police Station Junction and Hudson Circles will be signal free. This project was supposed to start in July last year.

From V.V Pura and RV Road Vehicles get over. They can get down to K.G. Road and Kasturaba Road. On other end from Nripatunga Road, vehicles get over to R.V. road to get off.

 J.C. Road flyover work was supposed to start in 2009 itself. Then the project amount was ₹86 crore. The state government had approved the scheme in 2013-14. An expenditure of ₹135 crore was approved for the steel flyover in the 2016 urban development plan. Now, the cost of the 'elevated corridor' will double.

POP idol: BBMP hiding the truth

 Violation of Prohibition Order: Officers who have not taken action despite being pop idol immersion

 POP idol: BBMP hiding the truth

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್

 BENGALURU: The use of POP idols, which is banned across the state, is being immersion before the authorities.  A case has not been registered in this regard.  The information that such idols are being immersion is also being hidden now.

 BBMP had officially informed that more than 10 thousand POP idols were immersed on the first day of Ganesha festival.  The question was expressed by the citizens that 'how was it immersed even though there was a ban?'

 The Forest and Environment Department had issued an order prohibiting the manufacture, sale and immersion of any idols including POP Ganesha idols, Ganesha decorated with heavy metal colored chemical paint.  Manufacturing, selling and immersion of POP idols in violation of this order will be considered a punishable offence.  This offense is punishable by imprisonment for a minimum of one and a half years and a maximum of six years.

 However, on Ganesha festival, more than 10,000 POP idols were immersed in BBMP jurisdiction.  No one had taken any action.  At least one case was not registered.  This was questioned by environmental activists and citizens.  Thus, BBMP has kept the details of immersion of POP idols under wraps.

 1.19 lakh idols were immersed on Wednesday, the third day of Ganesha immersion.  But there is no detail of POP idols.  State Pollution Control Board officials, police, revenue and BBMP officials should have taken action against the sale, use and disposal of POP idols.  Without doing that, the information is hidden and all the immersion ones are depicted as clay idols.  Officials said that they have received a verbal instruction from the Forest Minister's office to do this.

ನಿಷೇಧ ಆದೇಶ ಉಲ್ಲಂಘನೆ: ವಿಸರ್ಜನೆಯಾದರೂ ಕ್ರಮ ಕೈಗೊಳ್ಳದ ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಗಳು

ಪಿಒಪಿ ಮೂರ್ತಿ ಮುಚ್ಚಿಟ್ಟ ಬಿಬಿಎಂಪಿ

ರಾಜ್ಯದಾದ್ಯಂತ ನಿಷೇಧವಾಗಿರುವ ಪಿಒಪಿ ಮೂರ್ತಿಗಳ ಬಳಕೆ, ವಿಸರ್ಜನೆ ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಗಳ ಮುಂದೆ ನಡೆಯುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಆ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಪ್ರಕರಣ ದಾಖಲಿಸಿಲ್ಲ. ಅಂತಹ ಮೂರ್ತಿ ವಿಸರ್ಜನೆಯಾಗುತ್ತಿವೆ ಎಂಬ ಮಾಹಿತಿಯನ್ನೂ ಇದೀಗ ಮುಚ್ಚಿಡಲಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ.

ಗಣೇಶ ಹಬ್ಬದ ಮೊದಲನೇ ದಿನ 10 ಸಾವಿರಕ್ಕೂ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಪಿಒಪಿ ಮೂರ್ತಿಗಳು ವಿಸರ್ಜನೆಯಾಗಿವೆ ಎಂದು ಬಿಬಿಎಂಪಿ ಅಧಿಕೃತವಾಗಿ ಮಾಹಿತಿ ನೀಡಿತ್ತು. ‘ನಿಷೇಧವಿದ್ದರೂ ಹೇಗೆ ವಿಸರ್ಜನೆ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಡಲಾಯಿತು’ ಎಂಬ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆ ನಾಗರಿಕರಿಂದ ವ್ಯಕ್ತವಾಗಿತ್ತು.

ಪಿಒಪಿ ಗಣೇಶ ವಿಗ್ರಹಗಳು, ಭಾರಲೋಹ ಮಿಶ್ರಿತ ರಾಸಾಯನಿಕಯುಕ್ತ ಬಣ್ಣದಿಂದ ಅಲಂಕಾರ ಮಾಡಿದ ಗಣೇಶ ಸೇರಿ ಯಾವುದೇ ವಿಗ್ರಹಗಳ ತಯಾರಿಕೆ, ಮಾರಾಟ ಹಾಗೂ ನೀರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ವಿಸರ್ಜನೆ ಮಾಡುವುದನ್ನು ನಿಷೇಧಿಸಿ ಅರಣ್ಯ ಮತ್ತು ಪರಿಸರ ಇಲಾಖೆ ಆದೇಶ ಹೊರಡಿಸಿತ್ತು. ಈ ಆದೇಶ ಉಲ್ಲಂಘಿಸಿ ಪಿಒಪಿ ವಿಗ್ರಹಗಳ ತಯಾರಿಕೆ, ಮಾರಾಟ ಮಾಡಿದರೆ ಮತ್ತು ವಿಸರ್ಜಿಸಿದರೆ ಅದನ್ನು ಶಿಕ್ಷಾರ್ಹ ಅಪರಾಧ ಎಂದು ಪರಿಗಣಿಸಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಈ ಅಪರಾಧಕ್ಕೆ ಕನಿಷ್ಠ ಒಂದೂವರೆ ವರ್ಷ ಹಾಗೂ ಗರಿಷ್ಠ ಆರು ವರ್ಷಗಳ ಕಾರಾಗೃಹವಾಸ ಶಿಕ್ಷೆ ವಿಧಿಸಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಲಾಗಿತ್ತು.

ಆದರೆ, ಗಣೇಶ ಹಬ್ಬದಂದು 10 ಸಾವಿರಕ್ಕೂ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಪಿಒಪಿ ಮೂರ್ತಿಗಳು ಬಿಬಿಎಂಪಿ ವ್ಯಾಪ್ತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ವಿಸರ್ಜನೆಯಾಗಿದ್ದವು. ಯಾರೂ ಯಾವ ರೀತಿಯ ಕ್ರಮವನ್ನೂ ಕೈಗೊಂಡಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಕನಿಷ್ಠ ಒಂದು ಪ್ರಕರಣವನ್ನೂ ದಾಖಲಿಸಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಇದನ್ನು ಪರಿಸರ ಕಾರ್ಯಕರ್ತರು, ನಾಗರಿಕರು ಪ್ರಶ್ನಿಸಿದ್ದರು. ಹೀಗಾಗಿ, ಬಿಬಿಎಂಪಿ ಪಿಒಪಿ ಮೂರ್ತಿಗಳ ವಿಸರ್ಜನೆ ಮಾಹಿತಿಯನ್ನೇ ಮುಚ್ಚಿಟ್ಟಿದೆ. 

ಗಣೇಶವ ವಿಸರ್ಜನೆಯ ಮೂರನೇ ದಿನ ಬುಧವಾರ 1.19 ಲಕ್ಷ ಮೂರ್ತಿಗಳು ವಿಸರ್ಜನೆಯಾಗಿವೆ. ಆದರೆ ಪಿಒಪಿ ಮೂರ್ತಿಗಳ ವಿವರ ಇಲ್ಲ. ರಾಜ್ಯ ಮಾಲಿನ್ಯ ನಿಯಂತ್ರಣ ಮಂಡಳಿ ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಗಳು, ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌, ಕಂದಾಯ ಹಾಗೂ ಬಿಬಿಎಂಪಿ ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಗಳು ಪಿಒಪಿ ಮೂರ್ತಿಗಳ ಮಾರಾಟ, ಬಳಕೆ, ವಿಸರ್ಜನೆ ವಿರುದ್ಧ ಕ್ರಮ ಕೈಗೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕಾಗಿತ್ತು. ಅದನ್ನು ಮಾಡದೆ ಮಾಹಿತಿ ಮುಚ್ಚಿಟ್ಟು, ವಿಸರ್ಜನೆಯಾದವೆಲ್ಲ ಮಣ್ಣಿನ ಮೂರ್ತಿಗಳೇ ಎಂದು ಬಿಂಬಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಈ ರೀತಿ ಮಾಡುವಂತೆ ಅರಣ್ಯ ಸಚಿವರ ಕಚೇರಿಯಿಂದ ಮೌಖಿಕ ಸೂಚನೆ ಬಂದಿದೆ ಎಂದು ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಗಳು ತಿಳಿಸಿದರು.
