By Basavaraj Itnaal, DH News Service, Bangalore: If you thought the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) is all prepared to prevent damage from the impending monsoons, heres reason to doubt it: The Palike will instead be busy with curative jobs since its work on remodelling of storm water drains (SWD) is only 30 per cent complete! The Remodelling was scheduled to be completed latest by November 4, 2007. The Palike's contingency plan for this monsoon includes clearing the roadside drains and keeping sandbags and dewatering pumps ready for flood mitigation. The SWD remodelling had started three years ago as a preventive measure after several instances of water logging. However, the deadline has proved to be ambitious for BBMP, which has left large parts of the work, incomplete. The centre had sanctioned Rs 643.06 crore for the task under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) but at the end of the first quarter of 2008-09, the Palike has only 30 per cent financial progress to show. Interestingly, in September 2006 the overall progress was 14.84 pc with the Palike posting a financial progress of 22.86 per cent in Koramangala valley, Challaghatta Valley (16.60 pc), Hebbal (13.38 pc) and Vrushabhavathi valley (16.80 pc). The estimation too was revised then and the cost was fixed at Rs 643.06 crore from Rs 496.63 crore. Twenty one months later, on July 1, 2008 to precise, the progress is 24.61 pc, 19.25 pc, 32.52 pc and 36.90 pc respectively
