JNNURM progress update report

sanjayv - 13-MAR-2010

 I came across this interesting document while surfing around on the BBMP website for Qtr2 09-10.  It is a fairly large report sent to quarterly to the central government on the status of various JNNURM projects implemented by the BBMP.  It makes interesting reading.  I think a careful perusla and analysis will shed a lot of light on how projects are run and the attitude of the govt officials towards the public.

Here is a snapshot from the item on the Tagore circle underpass.

Tender release date: 25/09/2007, Scheduled date: October 2008

Budget: 2318 lakhs

Reason for delay: Project not started due to non-cooperation by the public.MLA intervention is sought. Issue is being "solved".

Eh? The public is an impediment. in the path of progress.  A problem!

Refer "Experts for BRTS". It may seem strange coming from me (support for continuing)  but - here we have a classic situatoin where basics were never looked at, some sort of bus way created and everyone expected a miracle.
