Bengaluru, July 03, 2024: Corporation officials are gearing up to undertake a major white topping project on a 150 km stretch of road under the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP). Preparations are in full swing, with work set to commence soon after the Bhoomi Puja. An inter-departmental coordination meeting was held on Tuesday to discuss the project’s implementation.
Project Overview
BBMP Chief Commissioner Tushar Girinath addressed the meeting, highlighting that the white topping work will be carried out in 15 packages, of which 13 have already been finalized. Contractors have been appointed, and the remaining two packages are awaiting government approval. “Bhoomi Puja will be held soon, and all preparations should be made,” instructed Girinath.
Coordination and Survey
Officials were instructed to conduct site surveys and submit reports regarding existing infrastructure such as water and sewerage pipes, BESCOM and KPTCL cables, and gas pipelines. Any necessary changes should be made promptly to avoid disruptions once the white topping work begins. Utility ducts will be installed on both sides of the road, as no permissions will be granted to dig up the road post-completion.
