Inspecting the footpath and drain works taken up under the IT -BT corridor at the M G, Dickenson and Ulsoor Roads by the KLAC on Thursday , she expressed displeasure at the quality of work the KLAC had carried out.

When the Mayor questioned the status of footpath work on M G Road, the engineers of KLAC were caught unawares. When BCC engineers said that the removed slabs on MG Road would be laid in Sankey T ank, the officials of the KLAC contradicted this statement by stating that the slabs would be relaid on the footpath after the completion of drain works.

The engineers of KLAC failed to give details like the length and width of the footpath and why the drain water was flowing on the road. Why have you taken up works on the roads which have been identified for road widening. Y ou could have upgraded them after the widening. W orks are being executed unscientifically , the Mayor rued.

Begum, in an irate mood, directed KLAC officials to expedite the work on busy roads by hiring additional labourers.
