The BBMP has filed a motion with the Urban Development Department seeking exemption from the tender for the implementation of Rule 4 (g) of the KTTP Act to implement a total of ₹ 1,171.33 crore under the Disaster Relief Fund under the BBMP. The Urban Development Department believes these are not covered by urgent works.
Additional Chief Secretary of the Urban Development Department, Rakesh Singh, has suggested that the proposal to take up the proposed works as a State Disaster Relief Fund Guidelines should be revised.
The proposals submitted by the BBMP have been thoroughly reviewed. Most of the works mentioned in this proposal are concerned with the general maintenance of roads and the prevention of disaster in the future. In a letter to BBMP Chief Commissioner Gaurav Gupta on February 11, he said that these works are not covered by the Emergency Repairs Project under the State Disaster Relief Fund Guidelines.
He also suggested that BBMP’s own resources should be implemented or implemented by BBMP under the recently approved ‘Amruta City Park’.
He said that if necessary, he would submit a report in respect of the eligible amount, citing the extent to which all the work could be carried out under the State Disaster Relief Fund.
A grant of ₹ 1,173 crore has been sanctioned under the Disaster Relief Fund to repair the dilapidated roads and roads in the city. In early December 2021, the BBMP wrote to the Department of Urban Development demanding that it be approved for implementation of these works without a tender process.
The total length of main and main roads in the city is 1,344 kilometers. The City of New York City has approved the development of 300 km of roads for 2019-20, 2020-21. The 192km road has been identified as the busiest corridor and is scheduled to be handed over to KRDCL for maintenance. Whitetoping work at 180 km, SmartCity project at 30 km. Of the remaining 642km of road, 62km of road liability period (DLP) is still in place and contractors are responsible for their maintenance. The remaining 580 km of roads have not been renovated for 3 years. So these roads were damaged by heavy rains. The repair of these roads is estimated to cost ₹ 100 crore,” the BBMP said.
‘The barriers have been dilapidated in the four major states. Rainwater has penetrated the settlements. There is a need to rebuild the barrier. It will have to carry out 120 works with an estimated cost of ₹ 411.33 crore. 600 compactors carrying garbage to 8 garbage treatment plants were also damaged. Their repair will require ₹ 50 crore. There are about 11 thousand roads in the 8 zones, which have been mostly damaged by heavy rains. BBMP described the repair as “600 crores”. The policy also sought exemption from calling for tenders under Rule 4 (g) of the KTPP Act as all these works should be undertaken immediately.
