10 questions I’d like BBMP and the other concerned civic authorities to address asap


  1. Waste Management:  We need a plan and a deadline. Right now there is neither. How long will you landfill Mandur? And come January, what is your plan? The city is stinking.
  2. Garbage segregation has been advised. What are your plans to ensure that it happens? Apart from imposing fines on the owners? And if you do fine, what will you do with that money? 
  3. Segregation done. What do you plan to do with it? Do you have any idea of what can  and should be recycled and how? At the moment, all that happens is 'we segregate and your contracted employees aggregate'.

A view of the KR Market area. The whole city is stinking. 

4. I hope you realize that we are on the brink of an epidemic. Viral fevers and flu are making rounds of the city. Dengue and Chikungunya are also knocking doors. What is your plan to contain this?
5. Who sanctioned the Snow City project in the Fun World Complex? We are facing an acute shortage of clean drinking water in most parts of the city. But we have a snow city for entertainment? A report in the Hindu claims that the snow is made from clean drinking water every day. Is this acceptable behavior from a civic authority?
6. What is your strategy for the stray dogs in our city? I hope you realize that simply sterilizing them does not stop them from attacking and biting people.  
7. The parking system in the city is a chaotic. We do not have enough designated parking spaces in most parts of the city. Why is it that irrespective of it being a P1 or a P2, you find vehicles parked under both boards on most days. What is your take on it? Why isn't the traffic police doing its job? 
8. Why does the city have so many missing manhole covers? Are we waiting for another unsuspecting kid to fall into it before we act on it?
9. I believe the BMTC comes under the BBMP. If yes, when will your BMTC drivers learn the basic rule of driving; Red means STOP and Green is for GO.
10. When will the roads in Bangalore be user friendly?
