Siddu slams BDA for tardy site disbursal

BANGALORE: Chief minister Siddaramaiah took BDA officials to task and wanted to know why it shouldn’t be shut down when it hasn’t distributed a single site in the past 10 years. He also asked the BBMP chief to clear the garbage mess within 10 days.
On his second day as chief minister, Siddaramaiah held a seven-hour meeting with heads of various departments , including BDA, BBMP and BWSSB.
Talking tough about sites, Siddaramaiah reportedly asked BDA commissioner T Sham Bhat to give explain the agency’s activities in the past few years. Referring to mismanagement in distribution of sites of Arkavathy and Nadaprabhu Kempe Gowda residential layouts, the CM directed the commissioner to find a solution for speedy disbursal.
Siddaramaiah then reportedly told BBMP chief Siddaiah he wasn’t satisfied with its progress on finding a permanent solution to the garbage mess.
While the Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation was at the receiving end for faulty transmission of power, BWSSB is said to have escaped his wrath when it said the water level in KRS dam was too low.
