One man’s fight to save Chinnappanahalli Lake bears fruit as BBMP releases Rs 50 lakh after BM report; but work is progressing at a snail’s pace, complains Rai…
Better late than never, they say. After Bangalore Mirror reported on how the BBMP had reneged on the conditions of the three-year Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with the Chinnappanahalli Lake Development Trust for the lake’s upkeep and maintenance (‘Please Don’t Go: Bengaluru needs thousands of warriors like Prabhashankar Rai, not one less’, May 8, 2017), the civic body has pulled up its socks, somewhat. Stung by the BM report and the criticism that followed, the BBMP has finally deployed a budget of Rs 50 lakh that had been sanctioned in 2016 for ‘capital expenditure’ on this particular lake.
When BM visited the park, it found that work has begun on extending the compound wall by 180 m for the senior citizens and children’s park, arranging for a diversion channel beneath the walkway by pulling up the existing interlocking tiles and construction of a grill around the periphery of the lake.Click Here: Golf Equipment Online
