Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) on Monday swung into action and started restoring the pavement on Kalinga Rao road and Lalbagh Road.

Besides, Commissioner K Jairaj has instructed officials to complete pavement projects taken up across the city by March 31.

BBMP’s action has come following a report in Deccan Herald on the bad condition of pavements in the city. Blaming various utility providers for the damage being caused to pavement, BBMP has said, in a release, that BBMP is equally concerned about condition of side walks.

After digging up the pavements for various reasons, the utility providers have not restored them, causing inconvenience to citizens, the release stated.

Mr Jairaj also instructed officials to conduct a joint survey with Karnataka Land Army Corporation (KLAC) of damaged pavement and submit a report.

“The restoration of damaged pavement will be taken up immediately,” the release said.

He has directed officials to hold a review meeting with Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) , Bangalore Electricity Supply Company Limited (BESCOM) , Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited (KPTCL) and Optic Fibre Cable companies.
