Dear Moderator and Readers,
I think it is a very smart idea that the contract was given to and outside company. It was the Idea of the DC and North MLA. There are a couple of reasons for it:
1. Better quality work – A major company has better infrastructure and can finish the work faster. Time value of money for one.
2. If the corporators were involved that would lead to shabby work and curroption. Did you know that it is common practice in the corporation that 50% of the tender award has to be paid by the contractor to the corporators and corporation officials. That is why our roads go bad every monsoon. They are required to build 3″ tar roads but they end up putting only 1 -1.5 inches. Its not the contrractors fault either. They cannot do a good job even if they want to. They dont have anything left after the payoffs.
3. The coprorators want the roads to break every year – if the roads are built good and they have a budget surplus, they wont get repetitive cuts every year also the city corporation wont be able to demand more money from the state respectively.
4. 100 crores, ie 40 crores for belgaum north and 60 crores for belgaum south in not even a drop in the pond for the projects that Uday suggested. You cannot build all bridge let alone a flyover in that amount. And a flyover to where. If the authorities talk about a flyover from the city, they will have to widen the roads, to widen the roads they need demolish residential and commercial establishments and houses. We’ve all seen how much resistance there is already to widen the roads that are already scheduled for it viz Old dharward Road.
For the commenter on this blog….Can I please see you be the first volunteer to give up your shop or for widening the roads. Im Sure the city corporation would love to have you as the leader of you area and submit a signed affidavit from you and your neighbours.
Also a flyover would require land aqquisition……..besides the resistance from landoweners….100 crores is not enough to compensate them and build a flyover.
5. Would to like a Big flyover in belgaum with thr roads that lead into it with potholes and the gutters and sanitation that we invite people into our city through the flyover dirty?

I think it is smart to start small and at the grass roots with correcting the basic infrastructure of the city first.

Just my two cents…………rets is upto debate

We can use part of it for Echo park at Vaccine depot. roads in extension ares. Killa is into shappy state encroched by vegitable traders , slums and private bus operators, whay cant thispalce be land scaped and converted as tourist sopt and add recreation fecilites here.
Many remote extension areas still dont have approcah roads and sanitation and water connectvity , This can be covered in JNURM , mut corporators and Maoyr will not opt for it since they cant eat any shit out of it.
Public Tamasha dekhe , aur baki sam paise loote , it would be day light robbery if this money would go in vain and not utilized properly , same road will be carpted on paper with some filthy petty time contractor and we all will be back to square
I do beleive it should go to DC fund for peroper utilization and every one should be held responsible
Jagoo par kitne log jage sab dusroo ko jaganee mein lage hai

Corporation is more sound like curruption , Well i mean it becuse the Mayor seems more like an "Anguthaa sadak chaap " dont ever know what civic eminities means.
The 100 crore is Public money Belgumites money , If mr Abhy kumar Patil (MLA) is utilizing this fund for good , Mayor shudnt poke his nose in it, but also expcet Mr MLA to be transperent in tendering the work.

Hi,
I apprecaite you my friend that you are providing us with these infomations.

Here media can play vital role, thorugh them this news can reach to every individual of BGM hopeful some moments might come to light, development of BGM city is must since long nothing happening & nobody is raising voice regarding development issue. So i beleive media & local news papers can highlight this issuse of 100 crores and bring to forefront to State Govt. of Mr. BSY. admin.
Regards,
Yunus
