I dont think it is advisable for the citizens to be bailing out this contractor. Instead they should arrange a meeting with IR/SWR and impress upon them to cancel the contract and award it to somebody else. I dont know what the CM's office will do if railways have awarded the contract without checking the capabilities of the contractor. You can talk to BBMP commissioner & traffic police to take their help to put pressure on IR/SWR. Maybe write to KH Muniyappa as well.

i feel that this matter needs media's attention.

I have sent photographs to TOI: civic problem; on 14th, not published yet.

Mails to other newspapers will certainly help ....

Thanks Laskhmikala. I did the same about two weeks back and the result was similar.

Despite bringing to CM attention there is no movement yet.

The funny part is that I again replied to CM response asking BMP to share the time needed to complete this project, however, BMP did not respond instead of that CM's Standard response came "for necessary action".

Venkatesh idea is superb, though I am not sure if any of us would climb the bridge. But we have easier choice here;

If you will send similar mails to Honourable Chief Minister and more importantly to newspapers, things will change sooner !


FYI:Last week I received a call from a Reporter from The Hindu.


here is the copy of mail I sent to all email ids shared in my previous comment;

Construction of the flyover at Whitefield Sai Baba Ashram was  scheduled  to be completed  by March 2008 .  More than one and half years, later it continues to hang fire.  Chunks of concrete have started falling apart endangering the lives of thousands of pedestrians  and other commuters, besides forcing the vehicles to take a circuitous route resulting in wastage of time and money.  A national loss, of course.  The issue has been taken up with the Chief Minister and BMP bigwigs.  All in vain.  Peaceful methods do not seem to resolve issues in our country.  Responsible media alone sustains hope.
