Daijiworld Media Network - Bengaluru (SP)

Bengaluru, Dec 17: The high court (HC) has directed the commissioner of Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) to confirm whether rules relating to disposal of construction waste are being followed when executing 34 works undertaken within the city limits under the Smart City project.

A division bench of the high court presided over by Chief Justice A S Oka, which heard a public interest litigation filed by Karnataka Legal Services Authority, took the commissioner severely to task for failing to stick to rules. The bench directed him to appear for hearing on December 23 through video conferencing facility and provide explanation for the lapse.

Advocate for the petitioner said that 34 works have been undertaken in Mangaluru city under the Smart City project. He said that rules and regulations are not being followed when disposing of waste generated at the sites of these works, duly pointing out that the waste lying at the work sites have not been cleared and this has been creating an impediment for the smooth movement of the people.

"Without you getting smarter, how do you expect to make the city smart? Why are steps as per 2016 rules on construction waste disposal not followed? Why is the Smart City corporation a silent spectator to these violations," the high court wanted to know.

    "Ambikapur" in Chattisgarh is No.1 in India in cleanliness.

    It was most backward, dirty town - But, because of DC, who used customised process and solutions, for Construction waste - Ambikapur of Chattisgarh is No.1.

    Udupi & Mangalore should adopt Ambikapur model.

    MCC commissioner may be working under the supervision of RSS. System is so bad in Mangalore, instead of building extra water facilities , waste disposals, drainage & sewage systems they are issuing golden egg laying apartments permissions. MCC Mayor is involved in unnecessary roads & places of name changes only and does no other works.

    Once the concrete work was done from LIC, RTO, govt college till the road to Hampankatta Junction. Later once again they dug the concreted road from Hampankatta to RTO, LIC road for pipe laying work.

    At bunder junction near IOB a drainage was leaking, presently the drainage leaking is stopped but around the manhole it was dug and was kept as it is without filling . It is like a pond kept open from a couple of weeks.

    Virtually these idiots have no planning how to carryout work at all whatsoever.

    They are just wasting citizens tax paid money.
