Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike [BBMP] — Public works - Pavements in Basaveshwara Nagar (SVK layout)

Address:

Basaveshwaranagar -SVK layout

Hello BBMP,

Firstly thank you very much, I appreciate the road work being done in various areas of bangalore in light of the clearing the debris accumulated prior to monsoons and rebuilding the canals and laying pavement stones. The work on my stretch of road is completed apart from in front of my home. The grievance being that some of the pavement stones are broken and needs to be replaced by new ones in front of my house. The contractor managing the work has mentioned that he has only 20% availability for new stones and they have been used up. He has demanded that I would require to buy him new stones and he will lay them.
I fail to understand why public road works department is having a shortage of budget for providing pavement stones and is instead expecting for house owners to pay for them as the taxes are already being paid promptly as required of citizens. My house construction is ongoing and hence the pavement work was dragged to be done in the end. It is disappointing that with the rising cost of materials and labour currently, the public is expected to bear this extra cost. Requesting you to kindly look into this matter.
